St. Louis Video Production Services

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.

Our mission is to connect people through the power of story.

NONPROFIT VIDEO PRODUCTION 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.


BRAND AND CORPORATE VIDEO IN ST. LOUIS

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.

we'll help you with:

Positioning

Position yourselves as the solution to your audience’s needs.

Story

Tell complex, sensitive stories with clarity & compassion.

Attraction

Authentically attract like-minded people who will become long term champions (and patrons) of your brand.

documentary-style film for brands & causes

In 2013, we started leveraging the power of documentary-style film for brands and causes in our hometown of Springfield, Illinois (hence our affinity for Lincoln).

Since then, we’ve worked with clients nationally and traveled to cities including Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Des Moines.

No matter where you are, we’d be honored to serve your brand next.

FROM OUR CLIENTS:

"I was new to the world of video production, but they offered me partnership and support the entire way through."

"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.
