We have worked with Bureau of Small Projects as our primary WordPress engineering partner for over three years. They have consistently delivered on technically demanding projects and have been a reliable resource for both development work and ongoing site maintenance.What distinguishes them is the combination of technical capability and operational professionalism. Communication is structured and consistent, scoping is accurate, and the team responds quickly when issues come up. For organizations that need a dependable agency for sophisticated WordPress work, Bureau of Small Projects comes with our strong recommendation.

We needed a development partner that was highly capable, willing to work through ambiguity, and could handle the pressure of a fast-paced project with a large scope and extremely complicated stakeholder landscape.BSP delivered on all counts. We could not have asked for a better partner. They truly felt like an extension of our team when things got intense. Always quick to respond to fires, problem solve and offer options, and maintain poise at all times. 10/10 experience!Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a world class development partner!

Video Production Review from Justine Stohl, LICSW
Right from the very beginning, Rich and his team member, Pete made me feel comfortable and confident. They were patient and accommodating while filming and doing photo shoots. Knowing that I am deaf, Rich learned a few signs before meeting me to help guide me in the film making process and the photo shoot. I was very impressed and felt this was helpful especially to communicate when to start during the filming and photo shoots. I had amazing results. I highly recommend Hawke Filmmaki
Safe Responsible Movers - Boston, MA's Review Sourced from Google
We've hired Hawke Commercial Filmmaking for various projects over the years and have been extremely happy with their services. Rich Hawke and Lisa Vidal are both total professionals who have vast technical knowledge while keeping a fun, friendly, and professional demeanor. It's hard to feel comfortable on video but they do a fantastic job creating a comfortable environment while still getting top notch footage.
Karen Glass's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of working with Richard Hawke and his team in the production of a video for one of our charitable events. As the Director of Marketing & Communications for a non-profit, our budget for videos is limited; however, we want to have the best quality product for the dollars we have. Working with Hawke Commercial Filmmaking was wonderful because they set expectations upfront about what could be achieved within our budget parameters, but the experience of working with the team and the end product surpassed those expectations. Richard and his team were great to work with, true partnership and collaborative environment, and the final video was a hit at our event! I would gladly work with Hawke again in the future and highly recommend to anyone.

Merit Productions Reviews & Testimonials
Natalie Young's Review Sourced from Google
Merit Productions is truly top notch. I've used them for severl professional projects over the years as well as a personal photo shoot for my daughter with Scott.Professionally, they deliver outstanding work and always on time. While I am likely not their biggest client based on their online portfolio (like whoa! They do some big name business.), they always make me feel like we are.The studio sessions with Scott are also really amazing and he has always made my daughter feel very comfortable. He has done professional headshots for me as well which turned out better than expected.All around, I would not every hesitate to use them for our future projects.
Alexandra Brandt's Review Sourced from Google
Scott and the team at Merit Productions are top notch. I've worked on numerous video and photography projects with them, and every single time have received an excellent final product. But the real magic of working with Merit happens during the development process. From initial idea to final deliverable, the Merit team brings a high level of creativity, detail-oriented problem solving, and professional talent to ensure you receive what you are looking for, often exceeding expectations. In addition to being delightfully fun to work with, they ask all the right questions to ensure casting is focused, wardrobes are spot on, and all of the tiny details are locked in. I've gone to the team with both loose ideas and rigid specifications, and they always knock it out of the park.
Oscar Interiano's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with Merit for over a decade and there's a reason for that. Hands down the best crew in the Austin area. They are professional, efficient, always fun to work with. The end result of what I'm looking for always exceeds my expectation. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend them!

Project 2 Restore's Review Sourced from Google
Working with The Courtside Group was a great experience from start to finish. Project 2 Restore is a non-profit, and our goal was to produce a video that tells the story of what we do and why it is so important to the community. We needed a team that could do more than just produce a video, we needed a partner who could understand the heart of our mission and translate it into a powerful narrative that would grow awareness in our community. The Courtside Group did just that.They approached our project with incredible respect and creativity, making everyone involved feel comfortable and valued.The final brand video they produced is more than we could have hoped for. It beautifully tells the story of Project 2 Restore and how the community can join in the mission. The quality is exceptional, and it has already become an invaluable tool for us to connect with the community and raise awareness.I cannot recommend The Courtside Group highly enough, especially for any non-profit or mission-driven organization. The Courtside Group combines marketing strategy with a genuine passion for storytelling, and are true partners in every sense of the word.
Dawson Williams's Review Sourced from Google
We've never encountered a creative team that has been able to interpret our vision, mission and values and produce a video that perfectly speaks to what we were looking for like Courtside.The first take of the brand video was delivered by them and the direction was so good we were flabbergasted. My business partner and I are tinkerers by nature (love to put our thumb on the scale) and we couldn't come up with a single edit.Courtside just nailed it. And two days earlier than promised.
Jacob Miller's Review Sourced from Google
The Courtside Group has been an invaluable strategic partner to my business. I was struggling with defining a clear brand proposition to my target audience, and the Courtside team developed a comprehensive brand creative that my customers love. Their high-touch attention to detail is exactly what my company needs. I now have them on retainer and could not be more pleased.

Everything you need to know before you hire a documentary production company
How long does documentary production take?
Feature documentaries take a year or more to produce. Short-form documentaries, on the other hand, can be done within 2 to 3 months. Here's how much each phase entails for these smaller productions:
- Pre-production: 4 to 6+ weeks
- Production: 1 to 2 weeks
- Post-production: 2 to 6+ weeks
How can these companies make my documentary accessible to broader audiences?
Globally, there is an increasing expectation that accessibility must be included in plans for all documentaries, not just projects relating to disability.
This means inclusion of items relating to accessibility for d/Deaf, hard-of-hearing (HOH), blind, and low-vision audiences.
To help make documentaries accessible to broader and diverse audiences, filming crews include the following post-production elements:
- Transcripts: Cover all audible and visual elements that support the work around closed captions and audio descriptions.
- Closed captions (CC): Similar to subtitles, these captions cover spoken dialogue, changes of speaker, descriptions of music, and key sound effects to make the film accessible without sound; mainly intended for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.
- Audio descriptions (AD): Audio tracks for blind and low-vision audiences that feature the full soundtrack but add verbal commentary on what is happening visually on-screen, to set the scene and describe other details.
In contemporary standards, these deliverables are a prerequisite for many film festivals, awards bodies, television networks, and streaming platforms.
Do I need a script before I approach a documentary production company?
In most cases, you don't need a prepared script.
Some businesses prefer to have a fully written script before commencing the interview process, while others begin scouting with just a rough idea of what they wish to portray in the documentary.
In that regard, a documentary production agency can help you translate your idea into a workable script as they know how to structure a story visually.
That said, having a basic outline in mind will help you convey your vision much more easily.
How do these production crews handle revisions during post-production?
Most documentary production companies include two to three revision rounds as part of the service package.
After the first version is finalized, you will need to review it and suggest changes.
When doing revisions, aim for consolidated feedback, i.e., collecting the remarks of all people involved in the review and sending them to the documentary production company all at once.
Consolidated feedback will keep the process efficient and will prevent you from being charged extra for going beyond the agreed number of revisions.
What kind of portfolio should a documentary production agency have?
A documentary film company should have a portfolio that highlights its strengths in producing various genres, industries, and market niches. Typically, it should contain the following:

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?
Documentary production companies create non-fiction films that inform, educate, and inspire. Common subjects they cover are nature, true crime, social justice, and corporate stories, presented in a range of formats, including long-form features, episodic series, short-form content, and branded content for streaming platforms and television.
Common types of documentaries include:
- 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.
