The whole price list, published.
There is no good‑better‑best here and nothing is held back for the tier above. Every client gets every platform, every trailer, and the same attention. What changes is how long the film runs — and whether you need what comes after it.
Before the price, one question. Professional firms arrive with two problems that look alike and are opposites.
Not enough of the right people know what you can do.
You are good at this and too few people can tell. You have watched firms with half your bench win matters you should have had, because they were visible and you were busy. This firm needs the film and the machinery around it.
Too many of the wrong people are calling.
Your good work arrives by referral from people who know exactly what you do. The phone already rings — with people who are not a fit, each costing a partner twenty minutes. You need the right ones to arrive convinced and the wrong ones to put the phone down.
The founder’s sitting. Two to three hours, founder to founder, with me — not an account manager. You leave with the interview transcribed, a written plan, the film laid out segment by segment, a first-draft script in your own words, your digital twin built, and a list of every other film hiding in that interview.
Priced on finished length and nothing else. Scripting, production, direction, editing, music, your digital twin on camera, the segments and every trailer are inside that number — so is the launch, posted across every platform you use.
Publishing, watching, and changing what is not working — every week, all year. Set out in full in the next section, because a retainer described in one sentence tends to be worth one sentence.
The Standing Brief. Every month we watch the competitors you name — what they published, what changed on their site, who they hired, what the press said, and whether an AI assistant recommends them or you. Then we sit down with your marketing partner and decide what to do about it.
The pilot
You do not have to commit to a twenty-minute film to find out whether this works. One six-minute best-pitch film, built the same way and to the same standard as a twenty-minute one. Then two trailers cut from it, each published with a different thumbnail aimed at a different audience — so by the end you are not guessing which message lands. You are reading it.
$3,750 is exactly six minutes at the published rate. Not a discount, not a premium — a smaller piece of the same thing, priced the same way.
| The founder’s sitting | $2,500 |
| 6 finished minutes × $625 | $3,750 |
| To begin, in full | $6,250 |
| Then, if you want it | $750/mo |
After the pilot, every finished minute is $625 and the full trailer run comes with it. Twelve minutes is $7,500. Twenty is $12,500.
Three ordinary engagements. The only difference is what the firm was trying to accomplish.

Never billed separately: every trailer cut from the film · your digital twin, built once and used from then on · every script, caption, title and thumbnail · every platform you use, not two of them · the full launch, posted and scheduled · the long cut, yours to reuse for anything the firm needs · b-roll assembled from your own materials · compliance guardrails built in before production · the producer’s review before anything ships. And no shoot day — so no second shoot day, no make-up chair, and none of your own partners’ hours bleeding out of the side of the project for six months.
Do not take our word for the number. Check it.
We wrote a competitive analysis of the AI video industry — what five named companies publish, what the premium end charges once you get them on the phone, and what a professional firm actually pays today. Ask for it and we will send it to you, whether or not you ever become a client. If someone else is the right answer for you, we would rather you find that out from us.
What actually happens every month for $750.
Most monthly retainers are described in a sentence, which is how they end up being worth a sentence. Here is the whole of it, so you can decide what it is worth before you decide whether the number is fair.
- Publishing on a schedule, across every platform you use — not three posts in an afternoon and nothing for a fortnight.
- Every cut formatted for where it lands: aspect ratio, safe areas, burned-in captions, titles and descriptions written per platform.
- A fresh thumbnail wherever one is needed, rather than the same frame reused.
- Comments and messages watched. Anything needing you is routed to you; nothing is answered on your behalf that shouldn’t be.
- A performance read: which films and trailers pulled, which did not, and where viewers stopped watching.
- Changes made, not just noted: new thumbnails, rewritten hooks, different posting times and running order on anything underperforming.
- A written summary: what happened, what it means, what we changed and why.
- A call with you to go through it and decide what is next.
- Your Google Business Profile checked and kept current.
- A compliance pass over everything published, so nothing has quietly gone out of date.
- A longer look back across the whole run — what is working, what has stopped working.
- The list of films still waiting inside your original interview, re-ordered against what the numbers now say.
- What to publish on your own site next, and why that specific thing.
- Questions answered between calls, without a ticket or a queue.
- Small changes on request — a caption fix, a recut, a new thumbnail.
- Anything we published wrong, fixed at our cost. Not a policy — just correct.
Why it is $750 and not three times that — four reasons, none of which touch the work
The expensive part already happened
You paid once for the sitting. Every month afterwards runs on a foundation already built — the plan, the script, your twin, the long cut. We are not starting from nothing each month, so we do not price as though we were. That is the single biggest reason the number is what it is.
Nobody in the middle
No account-management layer between the person who decides and the people who build. No downtown office and no sales team. Every one of those is a real cost on an agency invoice, and not one of them ever improved a film.
Our own studio, not a marketplace
The people doing this are our people, working every day on our own films as well as yours. We are not buying hours on a freelance market and stacking a margin on top, or paying a middleman to manage somebody we have never met.
AI on everything it genuinely does better
Versioning, captioning, cutdowns, first drafts, reading long analytics exports. It deletes the hours that never needed a human, so the human hours go where they change the outcome. A named person still approves everything before it ships.
Priced the way your own firm prices time, that list is not a $750 engagement. We know it, and you can do the arithmetic faster than we can.
It is $750 because we built the operation so that it can be — and because we do not price on perceived value. If we did, the number would be higher and you would have no way to check it. We price on what the work costs to do properly and what it is worth to you. When efficiency lowers our cost, the client gets it. That is not generosity; it is the only version of this still standing in twenty years.
