Telling the story of
A strategic storytelling partnership designed to move hearts, inspire hunters, and connect people to something bigger.
This short video introduces my vision for partnering with Deadnuts Outdoors. It’s not just a proposal—it’s the start of something bigger. We’ll work together to uncover and tell the story that truly moves people, builds trust, and shows the heart behind the mission.
WHY PARTNER WITH ME?
You’re not just hiring a filmmaker—you’re partnering with a storyteller who knows how to uncover meaning and emotion, then bring it to life through intentional story structure and cinematic execution.
We don’t just make content. We craft strategic story-driven films that make people feel something. And when your audience feels something, they remember you, they trust you, and they take action.
This is more than marketing. This is movement.
By partnering with us, you’ll receive a customized, intentional storytelling strategy rooted in our proven framework, designed to:
Humanize your brand and mission
Drive emotional connection with your audience
Build long-term brand loyalty
Inspire advocates, not just buyers
Why Story WORKS
Most brands talk at people—with facts, features, or hype. But people don’t connect with facts. They connect with emotion. They connect with story.
When you tell a real, emotionally-driven story, it does something deeper:
It captures attention without shouting.
It builds trust without selling.
It makes people feel something—and that’s what sticks.
STORY ACTIVATES EMOTION - EMOTION BUILDS MEMORY - MEMORY DRIVES ACTION
That’s why we lead with story. Because if people don’t feel something, they’ll forget everything. But if we make them feel, they’ll remember you, trust you, and want to be part of what you’re doing. And that’s what we’re doing here. We’re not just creating a film—we’re crafting a story that makes them feel. One that will make Deadnuts Outdoors stand out, stay top-of-mind, and build a movement around your mission to reduce waste and inspire ethical hunting.
What This Story Could Become
Deadnuts Outdoors isn’t just a hunting brand—it’s a mission. A movement rooted in ethics, accuracy, and making sure every shot matters.
That’s the kind of story people want to be part of.
This film isn’t about showcasing products—it’s about showing the heart behind the mission. It’s about creating a story that:
Shows why your message matters
Inspires trust and loyalty
Makes people feel proud to stand behind your brand
Because when you tell a story that moves people emotionally, you don’t just grow an audience—you build a community.
That’s what this could become.
How We Bring the Story to Life
We use The DEPTH Method—our proven storytelling process that moves people and makes impact.
-
Discover the Heart
Great stories aren’t about products or ideas—they’re about people. We uncover the emotional heart of your story, revealing motivations, struggles, and desires that resonate deeply with your audience.
-
Engage in Conflict
Conflict drives transformation. Using our DEPTH Narrative Framework, we clearly define the obstacles and tensions that pull your audience into your story, making them feel the stakes involved.
-
Pinpoint the Meaning
We go beyond surface-level storytelling to uncover universal truths within your narrative. Through the DEPTH Blueprint, your story gains lasting meaning, leaving a powerful emotional imprint.
-
Tell with Intention
This is where your story comes alive. Every scene, every moment, and every visual is intentionally crafted to draw your audience in, evoke powerful emotions, and keep them invested until the final frame.
-
Harness the Impact
True storytelling success isn’t measured by views—it’s measured by action. Our approach ensures your story inspires lasting connections, shifts perspectives, and drives real-world results.
A Quick Breakdown of our process
Storyfinding (Discovery Call)
We start by listening. Through a collaborative discovery session with you, we’ll explore your mission, values, and audience. This is where the real story begins to take shape.
Clarify Objective
We distill the story into five guiding keywords, through The DEPTH Blueprint, that clarify the emotional core, deeper meaning, audience focus, tone, and desired impact. This becomes our north star.
Character Selection
We identify the most emotionally resonant lead character(s), using The DEPTH Character Model to ensure we connect deeply with the viewer.
Story Structure
We design the emotional arc of your story with intention, building curiosity, tension, breakthrough, and resonance. Every beat of the film is carefully crafted to keep the viewer engaged while guiding them toward a deeper connection with your message.
Production
During production we will capture intentional interviews, cinematic visuals, product moments, and real emotion over 2–3 filming days.
Post-Production
We will then bring it all together with expert editing, color grading, music, sound design, and emotional pacing to create a finished story that hits home.
