About an hour up the road.
We are based in Greensboro, about an hour from Danville. A shoot there is a day trip: we drive up in the morning, film, and drive home. Our case studies so far come from the Triad and beyond, and the work in Southern Virginia is the same work: a plant floor, the people who run it, and a buyer who needs to understand it.
A region in the middle of a build out.
Danville recorded more than 2,400 new jobs and $1.46 billion in investment in 2024. Avio, the Italian rocket maker, is building in Pittsylvania County, and Microporous is building at Berry Hill. The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research is training the machinists and technicians all of them need.
New plants need suppliers, and they all need people.
The manufacturers already here are competing for the same workers and courting new customers next door. Both are video problems.
What we make.
Case study video. One project, one customer, and what changed. The strongest thing a manufacturer can show a buyer.
Capability films and plant tours. For customers, auditors and new supply chain partners who will never visit.
Recruiting video. For plants competing with new neighbors for the same people.
Training and safety video. Filmed on your own floor.
Filmed around production.
The only people who stop are the ones being interviewed, for about twenty minutes each. Everything else is filming the work while it happens. More on how we film manufacturers and recruiting video.
Short version.
- About an hour from Greensboro. A Danville shoot is a day trip.
- New plants need suppliers and workers. Video helps with both.
- Case studies, capability films, recruiting and training video.
- Your line keeps running while we film.
Companies like yours, in their own words.
Questions we get asked.
Do you work in Danville and Southern Virginia?
Yes. Danville is about an hour from our Greensboro office, so a shoot there is a normal day trip. We also cover Pittsylvania County, Martinsville and South Boston.
Have you filmed in Danville before?
Our case studies so far come from the Triad and beyond. The work in Southern Virginia is the same: a plant floor, the people who run it, and a buyer who needs to understand it.
Can video help us hire against the new plants?
Yes. A recruiting video lets candidates see your floor and hear from the people who stayed, which a job post competing on pay cannot do.
Can video help us win work from the new plants?
Yes. A capability film or plant tour shows a new customer what you can do before their buyer ever visits.
Plain answers, before you call.
