Documentary-Style Production Services

We capture real stories with real emotions that make real impact.

Documentary-style videos are about capturing moments—without overproduction. At SplyceHouse, we take a nimble, efficient approach to filmmaking, using lean crews and adaptable equipment to stay flexible in any environment. This allows us to blend into the background, letting stories unfold naturally while maintaining high production value.

Unscripted, Authentic Stories: Real moments resonate. We prioritize observational filmmaking to create natural, compelling narratives.

Efficient & Agile Crews: Small teams mean less overhead, faster turnarounds, and the ability to shoot in dynamic, unscripted settings.

Minimal Footprint, Maximum Impact: Our streamlined setup allows for cinematic visuals without disrupting the environment or the story.

Human Interest Stories

Some stories are best told through the people who live them. Our human interest videos focus on real experiences, capturing personal journeys, struggles, and triumphs. We create an environment where people feel comfortable sharing their stories—resulting in raw, unfiltered moments that feel true to life.

What Does The Data Show?

Increased Donations
(not guaranteed, but likely)

"It was the most money Community Living Inc. has ever raised for a 'Fund A Need'." The 2024 Legacy Ball more than doubled the five-year average for ‘Fund A Need’ donations—following a strategic shift in video storytelling. Rather than focusing on programs and facilities, we worked with Community Living to center the story around one individual deeply impacted by their services. By leading with emotion and crafting a personal narrative, the video resonated in a way that data now confirms.
