At Waterdrum Films, we believe the stories we share have the power to bring us closer.

Whether producing a branded film, a social campaign, a national commercial, or a feature documentary, our process is built on listening first. We create with intention, capture with craft, and shape each project so it feels authentic, memorable, and built to resonate.

From intimate vérité shoots to large-scale productions, our team scales seamlessly to meet the scope of the story. The trust built in every collaboration mirrors the approach we bring to all we do: attentive, strategic, and deeply committed to excellence.

  • Character-driven feature films built for festivals, broadcast, and streaming platforms. From development through final delivery, we guide long-form documentary projects with editorial depth, cinematic craft, and a commitment to stories that resonate and endure.

    Ideal for: Stories that demand cinematic treatment, cultural preservation, and national distribution

  • Multi-episode storytelling built for depth and sustained engagement. We develop serialized narratives that unfold across episodes, creating work that balances episodic structure with long-form emotional and thematic payoff.

    Ideal for: Organizations and creators with stories too complex for a single film, and platforms seeking serialized content that builds audience over time

  • Cinematic films that communicate mission, strengthen identity, and build lasting trust. From flagship brand films to exhibition content and campaign pieces, we create work designed to connect organizations with the audiences and communities they serve.

    Ideal for: Organizations seeking to define their legacy, communicate their mission, and inspire their communities

  • Broadcast and digital campaigns rooted in authentic human connection. We produce commercials and public service announcements that feel cinematic, emotionally honest, and built to move people—whether launching a national campaign or supporting a community cause.

    Ideal for: Brands and organizations looking to inspire action, shift perception, and connect with audiences authentically

Our process is built around three simple commitments: we help you create, capture, and share your story with the world.

Creating Your Story

Every film begins with discovery. We listen deeply to understand your vision, your audience, and the heart of the story you want to tell. From creative development and storyboarding to research and strategy, we build a foundation that ensures your project is authentic, compelling, and ready to resonate.

Capturing Your Story

With a filmmaker's eye and a documentarian's focus, we bring stories to life on set and on location. Whether through vérité-style documentary, cinematic interviews, or commercial production, our team works with precision and artistry to create imagery that feels both timeless and true.

Sharing Your Story

A story is only powerful if it reaches its audience. We shape the final edit with purpose, weaving picture, sound, and rhythm into a narrative that moves people. From long-form documentaries to broadcast campaigns, social shorts, and branded films, we design deliverables that connect across platforms & leave a lasting impression.
