  • We focus on documentary-style storytelling: branded content, character-driven videos, and short documentaries. If your project centres around real people and authentic storytelling, we're the right fit.

  • Documentary-style projects typically range from $10,000–$20,000 depending on scope, shoot days, crew size, and deliverables. This includes full creative development, production, and post-production. We'll provide a detailed proposal tailored to your goals and budget after our discovery call.

  • Most projects follow a 4-6 week timeline from kickoff to final delivery. This includes pre-production (research, pre-interviews, planning), production (typically 1-3 shoot days), and post-production (editing, revisions, colour, sound). We can accommodate faster turnarounds when needed.

  • Great! We can jump in at whatever stage makes sense — whether that's refining your existing concept, handling production and post, or just providing cinematography and editing services. We're flexible.

  • As involved as you want to be. Some clients prefer a hands-off approach after the initial creative brief, while others want to be in the edit suite. We adapt to your working style and ensure you have input at every major milestone.

  • Absolutely. While we're based in Vancouver, we've produced work throughout Canada and are eager to travel for the right projects. If your story takes us somewhere compelling, we're there.

  • Full edit, colour grading, licensed music, professional sound design and mixing, titles and motion graphics (if needed), and multiple revision rounds. We also create additional cutdowns and platform-specific versions (Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) based on your needs.

  • We're documentarians first. That means we're trained to find and tell compelling human stories, not just execute shot lists. You're hiring someone who thinks like a filmmaker and operates like a professional production company — premium craft with documentary soul.

  • Yes — this is one of our strengths. Through our discovery and pre-production process, we help you identify the most compelling narrative angles, find the right characters, and structure stories that resonate with your audience.

  • Reach out via our contact form or email hello@richardalam.com. We'll schedule a discovery call to discuss your vision, goals, and timeline. From there, we'll create a tailored proposal and production plan. Most clients hear back within 24 hours.
