Your story is already good.
It just needs an advocate.
Documentary-style video, photo, and story consulting for small businesses in the Research Triangle.
Especially the ones who’ve been overlooked, underestimated, or just never had someone in their corner with a camera.
Five talents. One documentary sensibility.
Every project is built for you specifically. No packages. No cookie cutters.
Story Consulting
Everyone skips this, but it’s far-and-away our most valuable tool. Even when you know what you want to say, almost everyone needs help actually saying it.
Our expertise will help you develop and implement strategies to grow your story, build connections, and enhance communities.
Documentary Video
Brand films, founder stories, and testimonials that don’t feel like commercials. This is our bread and butter.
We offer multi-camera 4K video filmmaking, multi-track audio recording, editing, and even 16mm filmmaking to suit your needs.
Photography
Real moments. Real people. Real businesses that look like they mean it.
We offer more than 28 years of professional documentary, event, studio, and portrait photography experience to suit your needs.

Jossy Salguero and Dan Smith
A citizen of the world, Jossy Salguero has lived in more than a dozen countries, speaks four languages and has spent most of her life advocating on behalf of others.
A native of North Carolina, Dan Smith is a seasoned storyteller and filmmaker with more than two decades of communications experience, a passion for connecting cultures, and a sense of curiosity that often leads him to places he never expected.
Combined, their sharp wits, diversity of experiences, and eagerness to listen allow them to craft stories with unique, unforgettable perspectives.
