At Time Travel Productions, we have been making documentary films for over thirteen years.

We also work with small business and non-profit clients to tell their stories in a much shorter format. All of our clients get the full benefit of our documentary storytelling expertise and commitment to strong ethical standards. This means we take the time to interrogate the silences, and listen for all voices, all with a high level of vetting and fact-checking.

What We Do

Tell your story! We bolster the work of nonprofits and mission-driven businesses through the production of emotionally engaging short videos.

Consulting We work with mission-driven businesses and nonprofit leaders to develop and deepen your storytelling with one-on-one consulting and workshops.

Documentary filmmaking
We convene creative teams that dive deep into stories for multiple years to craft feature documentary films.

We believe that artists with relevant lived experience must lead creative decisions.
When working on a feature documentary, we lean into the collaborative nature of filmmaking, intentionally building creative teams that meet the needs of each project. As a part of distribution, we build out audience driven release strategies that encourage deep conversations about the themes in our films. 

We believe video production must be collaborative to succeed. You tell us what you want to communicate, and we bring our storytelling and production expertise to help you tell your story so that it will resonate with your audience. 

Our short video clients are primarily mission-driven entrepreneurs and nonprofits whose work is powerful, and not widely understood. By telling your stories, you help people understand your motivations to do what you do, so they can walk alongside you. Your story will engage more deeply than any other kind of marketing.

What’s in a name?

Time Travel Productions calls forth the cyclical nature of the human experience across time and space. By intentionally breaking out of chronological time, we free ourselves to explore the struggles and joys of those who came before us, and learn from that experience. And we allow ourselves to imagine futures where all people are liberated and can live out their dreams.
