Capital Campaign Films

 

Since 2013, our fundraising films have helped non-profits and foundations raise over $1 billion.
From prestigious universities and renowned museums to small, local organizations, we specialize in capturing stories that inspire generosity. Through heartfelt interviews and stunning, cinematic visuals, we craft films that resonate deeply with audiences, connecting donors to meaningful causes and impactful projects.

A cornerstone of our work is our ability to connect with people on-camera, from scholarship recipients and program beneficiaries to community members whose lives have been transformed by these organizations. With two decades of experience conducting interviews, we create a comfortable environment that allows individuals to share their stories authentically and with heartfelt emotion. Paired with our artistic eye and technical expertise, we capture stunning visuals that bring these stories to life, crafting films that are both beautiful and profoundly impactful.

One Acre Films is a small but mighty team of two, supported by a talented network of freelance professionals. We pride ourselves on working efficiently, with modest budgets and flexible rates designed to meet the needs of even the smallest non-profits. We partner with organizations whose missions resonate with us, sharing their passion and dedication to making the world a better place. Your success is our success, and we’re committed to helping you inspire the support needed to create meaningful change.
