Storyteller Studios is an Emmy Award-winning video production company based in Springfield, Illinois. We create documentary-style films for purpose-driven brands, nonprofits, and healthcare organizations, and we've served more than 700 projects across 23 states since 2013.
Our approach is simple. Real people, telling true stories, captured with cinematic craft. No scripts handed to your team, no stiff corporate interviews, and no fabricated soundbites. We find the story that already exists inside your organization and build a film around it that moves people to act.
Nonprofits hire us for fundraising films, gala videos, and donor impact stories. One client nearly doubled gala revenue and quadrupled their paddle raise across three years of working together. Brands hire us for brand films, customer testimonial films, and recruiting videos that show who they really are. Healthcare organizations hire us to make complex, human work feel human on screen.
The team is six of us, full-time, no freelancers. Producers, directors, cinematographers, and editors who've earned twelve Regional Emmy Awards and nominations and twenty-nine Telly Awards. We're based in Central Illinois and regularly serve St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Chicago, with production travel across the country when the story calls for it.
Budgets typically start around $5000 for a local single-location project and scale with scope. You'll get a custom quote from our executive producer within one business day, and you'll always know exactly what you're paying for.

Our Story
We started in 2013 with a conviction that hasn't changed: story is the first language. Long before slide decks and stat sheets, people made sense of the world through stories, and they still do. So we don't script your people or polish away what makes them real. We sit down, ask honest questions, and build films from what's actually true. It works. Donors give more, customers lean in, and the right people say yes. Thirteen years, six storytellers, 700+ projects.
What Sets Us Apart
Real people, not scripts
We don't hand your team lines to read. We ask honest questions on camera and build the film from what people actually say. The result feels like a documentary because it is one. Audiences can tell the difference, and so can donors. Authentic stories outperform polished corporate video.Emmy-winning craft, six-person care
Twelve Regional Emmy Awards and nominations, twenty-nine Telly Awards, and a full-time team of six with no freelancers. The people who win the awards are the same people who answer your emails, show up to your shoot, and edit your film. Nothing gets handed off or phoned in.An investment built for results
One nonprofit client nearly doubled gala revenue and quadrupled their paddle raise over three years of films. We track outcomes like that because our clients answer to boards and budgets.
