  • Settlement Documentaries are our core service offering. These carefully crafted films rely on interviews with Plaintiffs and loved ones, cinematic b-roll, music and much more to reveal the heart of the Plaintiff’s story. Packages include:

    • A film designed for use before or during mediation/arbitration (20-30+ minutes)

    • A cinematic summary explaining all pertinent elements of a case

    • In-depth interview testimony of the Plaintiff, their family, and friends

    • Deep insight on the physical and emotional challenges endured by the Plaintiff

    • Their daily routines, physical struggles, and interactions with others, and more

    All-Inclusive Packages Starting at $20,000

  • Day In The Life Videos offer objective documentation of daily limitations—captured with evidentiary standards in mind (no dramatization, no editorializing). These videos include:

    • A 10-15 minute video designed for use in mediation, arbitration, or trial

    • Video documentation of the Plaintiff’s daily routine from waking up to going to sleep

    • High quality video and audio recordings of the Plaintiff’s disabilities, physical struggles, and natural interactions with family, friends, or caretakers

    All-Inclusive Packages Starting at $7,500

    • Case Chronology Video: A concise, visual case timeline: An audio-visual summary that organizes key events into a clear narrative sequence—medical milestones, treatment progression, missed work, and major life impacts. Designed to help decision-makers quickly understand the order and significance of events, using clean titles, dates, and supporting visuals in a format that’s easy to share internally.

    • Condensed Video Edits: Short, focused cuts (60 seconds–6 minutes) highlighting one or two specific case elements (damages, medical timeline, future care, expert point). Built for quick review and sharing with partners, adjusters, and mediation teams when time is limited.

Working With Mediation Films

Prioritizing your clients.

We meet with your clients in person before filming begins. This builds personal trust and provides an opportunity to articulate the full scope of their suffering once the cameras start rolling. We make your clients feel heard, understood, and cared for.

Capturing the full story.

In addition to their physical injuries, survivors typically struggle with daily mental battles. We reveal the full damages incurred through extensive interviews and accurate demonstrations of daily struggles.

Adapting to specific needs.

No two injuries, individuals, or cases are ever the same. We’ll work closely with your firm and client to showcase the most important elements of their case in a reliable, ethical, and emotionally persuasive way. *Please submit an inquiry to receive full video samples
