Personal Documentary Production

Your documentary must feel authentic to create resonance with your audience. Because of this personal focus in documentary filmmaking, NextThought Studios works with each documentary filmmaker to understand who they are and why they’re passionate about their particular issue.

Our goal with every project is to reflect your style in every cut and clip — this both involves you in the documentary’s narrative and also captures and presents your essence in the film from storyboarding to the final production.

As a documentary production company, we are an extension of our product, and because you’re both our client and an essential part of our product, we’ll take your needs and your dreams as seriously as our own.

Right for the Big Screen

The staff and equipment behind your documentary are just as important as its narrative, which is why NextThought Studios offers a full-service studio and staff to suit your needs. Our studio offers:

Equipment

Documentary film production must balance multiple types of video formats, digital elements, animations, overlays and informational instruction. To best accomplish this, you need a studio equipped with a full complement of hardware and software.
