Core offering

StoryFind Films is a video production and storytelling consulting firm that helps nonprofit and mission-driven organizations uncover, shape, and share authentic stories about their impact. The firm operates a structured proprietary methodology called the StoryFind Process™ (Plan, Discover, Organize, Conduct, Edit) and combines strategic consulting, documentary-style video production, and capacity-building training services to help organizations communicate more ethically and effectively. Its trauma-informed approach differentiates it from conventional production shops by centering beneficiary dignity and ethical narrative framing.

Product overview

StoryFind Films is a video production and storytelling consultancy for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. The core offering is the proprietary StoryFind Process™—a five-step methodology (Plan, Discover, Organize, Conduct, Edit)—which anchors three interconnected service lines: Video/Film Production (brand films, testimonials, documentaries), Consulting (storytelling strategy and integration), and Training/Workshops (organizational adoption and skills development). The company also offers a Story Discovery Package (structured discovery interviews and storyteller profiles) and One-on-One Story Sessions for individual coaching. Supplementary offerings include the published book 'StoryFind: The Handbook for Finding and Telling Your Nonprofit's Most Impactful Stories' and the StoryFind Workbook, both teaching the methodology to a self-service audience. A library of completed film projects showcases work across healthcare, education, humanitarian, and advocacy sectors.
