About Us

Bringing heartfelt stories to life, one frame at a time

Illuminate Media is more than a production company; we’re a team of storytellers driven by the power of stories to inspire change. Our thoughtful and versatile approach lights up every narrative, bringing authenticity, connection, and meaning.

Our Work

Stories Crafted with Purpose, Created to Connect

Our Process

Together, we uncover the story that truly resonates.

At Illuminate Media, our process is crafted to capture not only the essence of your story but also its unique ability to connect, inspire, and make an impact. Every step is rooted in our commitment to thoughtful, purposeful storytelling.

Deep Dive

We invest the time to fully understand your organization. We don’t want to be familiar, we want to know deeply about your history, mission, and vision. We’ll research your company fully, even reading Google Reviews, so we have a solid foundation to begin building your project.

Storyfinding

Once we understand who you are we’ll begin the process of uncovering the main pieces of the story for this project. Good stories are full of twists and turns and surprises so the obvious story may not be the most impactful. We’ll identify the best characters and plot points that communicate and inspire and will resonate with your audience.

Production

The hands-on part where we execute the plan. The crew, the gear, the locations, all for shooting interviews, broll, maybe voiceovers, and then meticulously assemble each piece into the final film.

Testimonial

Words of Trust

Phil did a great job with our company's promotional video. He was friendly and professional, capturing amazing video without interfering with the flow of activity with our clients. The video quality was top-notch and the final product was a clear presentation of the essence of what we wanted to promote about our guide company. Looking forward to working with Phil again in the future!
