What services does Visual Narrative Films offer?

We are a full service indie film production house based in the Bay Area, California. We offer services from conception and storyboarding of ideas right through to completion and delivery of the finished product. Our legal advisers are also prepared to provide you with peace of mind, making certain that everything is done according to the contractual agreements. 

What kind of projects do you work on?

We specialize in visual storytelling from narrative short films, full length features, documentaries and narrative commercials. We have a diverse portfolio and a flexible approach to cater to various storytelling styles and audience preferences. Let us know what ideas you have in mind! 

How much money do I need to make my film?

This is an excellent question and we get it all the time. Every film project is different; there is no formula to making a film. We assess each film project individually and provide customized budget estimates based on the specific needs and goals outlined during the initial consultation. The first step is to fill out contact form so we can learn more about your film project. 

Do you distribute films?

We can offer guidance and distribution through online services, which preserve your rights and autonomy for your content. These services can provide streaming platforms for your film and will take a percentage of the earnings generated. Our experience with film festival placements and releases will be an asset in your search for commercial distribution.

Why hire VNF?

We truly believe in the potential of film to enhance and preserve the human experience. Unlike companies focused solely on logistics, we immerse ourselves in the creative process, ensuring every aspect is meticulously crafted. We are committed to bringing your story to life authentically and with great detail.

How does the rates of other production companies compare to VNF?

Our rates are competitive and tailored to the specific requirements of each project. While rates can vary depending on the scope, complexity, and production needs, we strive to provide cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. We believe in transparent pricing and work closely with our clients to develop budgets that align with their vision and goals.

Do I own the rights to my film?

Yes, as the creator and client, you own the rights to your film. At Visual Narrative Films, we respect your ownership and creative control over your project. By default, we may retain the right to share your film for promotional purposes in our portfolio, unless you explicitly request otherwise. We prioritize transparency and will work with you to ensure that your rights and preferences are respected throughout the production process.

Do you deliver film footage without editing?

Yes and No. Our standard process involves our personal touch when it comes to the final edit. However, we can provide raw, unedited footage upon request. We understand that different projects may have specific editing requirements or that some clients may prefer to handle the editing process themselves. We offer flexible options to accommodate your needs.

Can you only do post-production and distribution?

While we specialize in end-to-end film production, we are open to discussing options for providing support specifically in post-production and distribution. We can tailor our services based on your budget and timeline. Feel free to reach out to us, and we'll be happy to assess your project's specific requirements and provide you with a customized quote that aligns with your needs.

Do you travel?

Yes, Visual Narrative Films is willing to travel worldwide for film projects. We are dedicated to capturing stories in diverse locations and embrace all opportunities regardless of the geographical setting. Travel and lodging expenses are typically included in the project budget to ensure seamless production logistics.

While we may not be able to respond to every inquiry immediately, we keep all submissions on file for future opportunities. We appreciate your interest in being a part of our creative team.
