St. Louis is home to a mix of legacy companies, fast-growing startups, and regional offices of national brands. We've worked with for-profit clients here on brand films designed for homepages, recruitment videos built to attract talent, and corporate storytelling projects that help leadership communicate vision internally and externally.
The difference between what we do and what most video production companies in St. Louis offer is the approach. We don't show up with a shot list and a script someone emailed you to approve. We show up with questions, a camera, and a team that knows how to draw out the stories your audience actually needs to hear. The result is a video that feels authentic because it is.
Every project includes a primary feature video and shorter cuts formatted for social media, email campaigns, and digital advertising. You get assets that work together across every channel, not a single file you have to figure out how to use.
BRAND AND CORPORATE VIDEO IN ST. LOUIS
St. Louis has one of the most active nonprofit communities in the Midwest, and we've worked with a number of organizations here on fundraising and mission-driven videos. The process is the same whether you're a $500,000 operation or a $50 million institution. We sit down with you, figure out what story will move your donors, and then we tell it.
Fundraising videos work because they put a real face on your mission. A pie chart of your program expenses won't inspire anyone to write a check, but a three-minute story about one person whose life changed because of your work absolutely will. That's the science behind what we do, and our nonprofit clients in St. Louis and across the country have used our videos to break fundraising records at galas, year-end campaigns, and capital drives.
NONPROFIT VIDEO PRODUCTION IN ST. LOUIS
Our mission is to connect people through the power of story.
We've been producing video in St. Louis since 2013. Brand films for companies trying to attract the right customers. Fundraising videos for nonprofits preparing for their biggest events. Recruitment pieces for organizations that need to show, not just tell, what it's like to work there. Our approach is documentary-style, which means your people tell the story in their own words. No scripts. No actors. No voiceover reading copy someone wrote in a conference room.
St. Louis clients work with the same Emmy Award-winning team that produces our national projects. We don't subcontract to local freelancers and charge you a markup. Every shoot is crewed by our own producers, directors, and cinematographers who drive over from Springfield, set up, and get to work. It's a short trip. We've done it enough times that we know the city, the traffic patterns, the best places to shoot, and the permit logistics for locations like the Arch grounds and Forest Park.
Most of our St. Louis video production projects fall between $5,000 and $25,000 depending on scope, and we typically deliver within six to eight weeks. We've worked with organizations across the metro area, from downtown and Clayton to University City, Kirkwood, and the Illinois side.

"I absolutely loved working with Storyteller Studios. The crew was on time, highly professional, and extremely fast to turn around my first video cut and all subsequent edits. There were no hidden fees, and the team was extremely flexible when I had additional minor edits or required alternate formats.
"I was new to the world of video production, but they offered me partnership and support the entire way through."

"The only thing that changed was the storyteller. Three years later, our annual gross has nearly doubled."
We're calling it Storyteller Small Batch. And if you're in business in Springfield or Sangamon County with 25 or fewer employees, it's for you.
We've made the featured fundraising film for HavenHouse St. Louis three years running. HavenHouse is a nonprofit providing free lodging for patients and families who travel to St. Louis for medical care. Each year, the film is the emotional center of HopeFest, their annual gala.
Three different families. Three different stories. Same approach every time. Real conversations, no narration, no script.
The numbers tell the rest. HavenHouse's annual gala gross has nearly doubled across the three-year partnership. The paddle raise moment that follows the featured film has more than quadrupled.
Same event. Same flow. Same donors in the room. The variable was the story.

A St. Louis story we're proud of.

Do you charge a travel fee?
No matter where we’re shooting, you’ll always work with members of our core team when you hire us. Not only does this mean you won’t receive a freelancer or contractor upcharge, it also allows us to guarantee the consistent high quality of our work, as well as use each team member’s strengths properly on each project.
Why don’t you hire local freelancers to work with you, rather than traveling?
We charge a minimum travel fee to get our team from point A to point B while making sure everyone is fed, rested, & ready to do their best work. Because St. Louis is so close to our offices, we can often plan shorter shoots here without even booking a hotel.
