Expanding Your Vision

An RFP. An internal request. An experiment. Often when our non-profit clients connect with us, they start with ideas that need to be translated into video and animation. Our process is tailored for exactly that: converting solid ideas into moving stories that expand your vision.


Every Style, Type & Budget

When we start out on a new project, we often recommend clients not be dead-set on a particular style or type of video. Through discovery & creative develop, we work with our clients to refine what’s possible, maximizing the creative impact within time and budget allowances.


Compelling Narrative

Whether you’re looking for a pre-roll spot, a social media rollout, or a tried-and-true TV spot, we’ll help you craft a compelling narrative around your work and express it on the mediums that matter.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Non-Profit Video Production Company

We make every dollar work harder.

Non-profit budgets are tight, and every dollar spent on a video is a dollar not spent on your mission.

We plan carefully and shoot efficiently, so you get work that punches well above its budget without wasting a cent of it.

We tell stories that move people to give.

A great non-profit video doesn’t just inform, it makes someone care enough to donate, volunteer, or share.

We help you find the human heart of your cause, so your appeal connects and your audience actually acts on it.

We represent your community with dignity.

The people in your story deserve to be shown with respect, not reduced to a fundraising prop.

We work with care and consent, so beneficiaries and communities are portrayed honestly and with the dignity they deserve.

We help you show your impact.

Donors and funders want to see where their support goes. We help you turn outcomes and real stories into proof of impact, so the people backing you can see exactly what they made possible.

Brands • Organizations • Communities • Governments

You’re in good company.

“Under Roz’s leadership, Double Barrel coordinated a total rebranding of student nutrition programs in Hamilton as Tastebuds. The rebranding includes a new name, a fantastic and funny video, and a website that meets all our needs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else if you want the profile of your organization to be higher and cooler!”

“We worked with the team at Double Barrel over several months on a volunteer recruitment video aimed at our local tech community. To say we were pleased with the outcome is an understatement. They bring a welcomed level of excitement, creativity, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a fresh take on a video project, I’d highly recommend the team at Double Barrel.”
