At Time Travel Productions, we have been making documentary films for over fourteen years.
What We Do
Workshops and Videos for Nonprofits
We hold workshops for mission driven organizations to learn how to tell engaging stories to highlight broken systems (narrative change), and increase visibility of your work and mission. We are also available to make shorter videos for nonprofit clients.
Consulting
We work with independent filmmakers on grassroots models for financing and distribution. We are a good fit for impact-inspired films that have a well-defined audience and compelling narratives.
Documentary filmmaking
We convene creative teams that dive deep into stories for multiple years to craft feature documentary films, always in collaboration with the people featured on screen. We call this collective storytelling. Reach out to learn more.
We believe that artists with relevant lived experience must lead creative decisions.
We lean into the collaborative nature of filmmaking, intentionally building creative teams who reflect the lived experience of the people whose stories are featured.
Collective storytelling is the core of our work. Telling stories is sacred work. The process of engaging with each other and listening deeply, and then creating a narrative, can be healing and transformative.
What’s in a name?
Time travel 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.
Meet the Team
We are a boutique-style production company. Each project has a carefully selected team to meet your storytelling and production needs. Below are some of the folks who work with our founder to keep the magic brewing!

Associate Producer
Sam Ho is a Chinese-American filmmaker whose work explores an eclectic array of subjects, from a funeral service held by British clowns to the generational legacy of the Cultural Revolution. What unites his seemingly disparate works is a focus on intimate stories and an empathetic, humanist sensibility. His feature-length documentary debut, Hero Camp!, which follows three introspective queer teens at a fantasy LARP camp, premiered at the Seattle Queer Film Festival and is currently screening across the United States. He has worked for NFL Films, Johnson & Wales University, the Green River Music Festival, and was selected for this year’s PBS Ignite Filmmakers Program.
