Every great organization is driven by personal stories

Personal stories move people

Meridian Hill Pictures' expertise lies in authentic and emotionally compelling character-based storytelling. We specialize in the full creative development, production, post-production and distribution of short-form documentary-style videos that tell human stories of relevance for non-profits, schools, government agencies and mission-driven companies. Our videos captivate viewers, engage target audiences, mobilize partners and volunteers, demonstrate and document impact. With each project, we make it easy for our clients, handling all stages of the process, from pre-production planning to final cut. We also develop customized audience and stakeholder engagement strategies around every project, ensuring that powerful storytelling advances our client’s specific impact goals.

An independent filmmaker's sensibilities

We apply the same attention to detail and level of commitment to our storytelling craft on every client project we take on. This process starts with careful research and relationship-building. Our team dives into the mission and culture of our client's communities, collaborating closely to identify individual, relatable people to profile and follow through compelling storylines. Through a combination of filmed interviews, visuals of real world environments and the broader communities, we construct layered, people-centered, inspiring narratives that move audiences. We never just leave our clients with films or digital files. We go several steps further beyond the production of films, ensuring that the stories we tell through video are paired with smart outreach and distribution strategies for maximum impact. By matching our filmmaking expertise with a commitment to measurable impact and results, we ensure each project becomes a long-lasting investment and one that facilitates meaningful change.
