100 YEARS
Brief
Reliance Foundry wanted to celebrate 100 years in business with a video that honoured their legacy while showing where they're headed next. The goal wasn't just to mark a milestone — it was to connect emotionally with the people who make their work meaningful: the employees who build the products and the clients whose communities benefit from them.
We developed a documentary approach that traces the company's evolution from founding to present-day leadership, focusing on the human side of the story. Through pre-production, we crafted interview questions designed to draw out authentic, heartfelt responses — not corporate talking points. We collaborated closely with Reliance's leadership to shape a narrative arc that felt warm, inviting, and inspiring.
The result is a film that captures what a century of work really means: trust, pride, and the spaces where communities come together.

“Our company had the pleasure of working with Richard on a storytelling-style of video, to celebrate our 100th year anniversary. We wanted someone with a documentary background that could go through the history of our company, our relationship with our customers, and show where we’re headed in the future, with innovation and sustainability.
Richard was really easy to work with, super chill, and collaborative. He made the whole experience fun, never said no, and took on every challenge and idea that we threw at him. We were very pleased with the final video, and now that we’ve tapped into storytelling as part of our marketing, we’re looking forward to working with Richard again on future projects.
I would highly recommend his services and expertise.”
