These people are scamming businesses.
And they took over 2000 US dollars and nothing to clean up my web page in Google

10/10 recommend! I've been working with Grant & Rich for over 6 years and can't recommend them enough. The videos they produce are always beautifully captured, edited and colour graded, and done with so much thought from start to finish. We love chatting through story concepts for future projects, and more than anything, they're a brilliant, passionate and supportive team to work with on shoot day. Thank you both! X

Lewis came to my aesthetics and skin clinic to do filming for content for social media.
From the initial contact with Lewis I was impressed. He was super organised and even sent me an itinerary of how the day would look.
His attention to detail is second to none.
Every single video and photo he has captured are absolutely perfect.
I can’t wait for our next content day.
Thank you so much Lewis

The Kiln meshes a traditional proven process, exceptional talent and robust production value while maintaining an agile, innovative and flexible approach to every project to maximize creative value, time and output. Regardless how baked your idea is or what level of service you are looking for - this team of producers, directors and operators are guaranteed to elevate and execute your vision (and you're sure to make some great friends with the team along the way!)

We engaged the Kiln to produce two videos for CFMWS and Soldier On. From the start, Sophie and Evan stand out, they bring enthusiasm, professionalism and a very good directorial and visual style to the table.
The productions were well produced and organized. They are easy to communicate with as well as take and share ideas. This is a dream boutique production company, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

Her detailed planning and follow through making working with The Kiln a breeze. Sophie's accountability and clear communication kept our project on track and within budget.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Muneer Majeeb for our company’s corporate video, and the results were beyond outstanding. The video he created was not just visually stunning but also a powerful representation of our brand and values.
At the ADIPEC Exhibition 2024, the corporate video stood out as the highlight of our presentation and was pivotal in upholding our reputation amidst fierce competition. The attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism Muneer brought to the project were unparalleled.
We are incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication, which translated into a masterpiece that resonated with our audience. If you’re looking for someone who delivers excellence and elevates your brand, Muneer Majeeb is the person to call.
Highly recommended and looking forward to working with him again in the future!

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Documentary Production Companies
What does a documentary production company do?
Documentary video production companies provide filming and editing services for streaming platforms, NGOs, and broadcasters. They specialize in capturing authentic human and nature experiences that are thought-provoking and inspire action. The core idea behind this cinematic format is to understand the people behind the story, their philosophy and drive, and bring the topic closer to the audience.
The main services of documentary production companies can be segmented into three tiers:
Pre-production services: Conceptualization, research, scheduling, location scouting, and budgeting
Production services: Filming, directing, interviews with subjects, audio recording, and cinematography
Post-production services: Editing, archival footage insertion, adding subtitles, voiceover, sound design, and color grading
Some agencies also produce historical, social impact, educational, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) documentaries, and assist with festival submissions and distribution.
What kind of documentaries do these companies make?
Social impact and advocacy: Aimed at prompting public debate or activism for social justice and environmental issues
Investigative and crime: In-depth research into true stories, profiled crimes, historical events, or unsolved mysteries
Biographical and historical: Detailed explorations of influential individuals or historical events
Nature and science: Wildlife films and environmental documentaries
Branded documentaries: Create documentaries about a brand’s mission, impact, milestones, or corporate journey
Observational: Capturing real-life events as they unfold with minimal intervention from the filmmakers
Docuseries: Serialized stories that cover lifestyle, sports, food, or travel topics
How much do documentary video production companies charge for their services?
Documentary movies can cost between $10,000 and $1 million per production. The final price is determined based on the type of documentary, location, production quality, the size of the crew, the equipment needed, and the post-production process. In general, documentaries fall within the following brackets:
Low-budget documentaries: $10,000 to $50,000
Mid-range documentaries: $50,000 to $200,000
High-end documentaries: $200,000 to $1 million or more
On the lower end, many documentaries done by emerging filmmakers have budgets that are even lower than the industry threshold. These crews raise only enough to cover basic hard costs, relying on volunteer labor and in-kind contributions of goods and services.
On the higher end, documentary budgets can go far above $3 million and are usually allocated to high-profile projects supported by studios, broadcasting networks, and global streaming platforms.
In addition to production costs, what else needs to be accounted for in the final budget?
Besides filming costs, the final budget should also consider the following expenses:
Location permits and insurance
Crew salaries
Rental expenses for lighting, shooting, and sound equipment
Travel and accommodation for the crew
Do I own the final footage?
Typically, the contract determines ownership, but it is standard for the production company to own the raw files until final payment, after which the client receives the finished, edited content.
