The right video story can have a huge impact…

Hey, I’m Kalei Beamon, President of Lanakila Productions👋 

On my first day of film school, my professor said to the class ‘are you sure you want to do this? You will never look at movies the same.’

Man, was that some ‘straight talk!’

First of all… it looked easy and glamorous. The truth is, whether it’s a feature film or a short video, it takes a ton of time, meticulous planning, and long hours. The reality of life in production…is anything but glamorous.

As someone responsible for promoting your nonprofit, you’ve probably figured this out in your own video marketing attempts. If you’re like me, you’ve experienced the rude wake-up call of discovering everything you didn’t know you needed to know. Like the…

-Extensive Planning

Capturing all of the essential footage

Interviewing recipients, donors and volunteers

Going through your media assets searching for the needles in the haystack that will make a compelling story

Editing

Learning how to use editing software

Transcribing interviews

Writing the script

Finding the perfect music

Finding and hiring the perfect voice talent

Creating the right graphics (yup, that means learning new software)

And I’m just warming up! There’s tons of unexpected…and time consuming stuff…that pops up along the way. All of that time and energy invested only to end up with…let’s be honest…an EPIC FAIL!

The good news is…you don’t have to deal with any of that, anymore. The answer is here! I’ll handle everything from start to finish. Just send me all of your existing footage, photos, logos and graphics…and I’ll take care of everything else!

For more than 20 years, I’ve been working with the largest nonprofits to bring their stories to the screen. I have won numerous Telly and Association TRENDS awards. Through my inspiring video stories, my clients have raised more money to support their core endeavors, recruited more volunteers, and reached more people in need.
