STORIES THAT SCALE YOUR BUSINESS
We create episodic documentary series that transform startups into stories worth following
Brown Folk is a documentary production house for the startup world. We create long-form episodic series that go deep into the stories behind ambitious companies. Not 30-second ads. Not viral clips. Real documentaries that build authentic audiences through cinematic storytelling and narrative depth.
10-60 minute episodes | Multi-part series | Documentary-style production | Stories that unfold over time
Why Long-Form? Why Now?
Attention Is The New Currency
And documentaries are the gold standard
Your competitors are fighting for seconds of attention with disposable content. We help you earn hours of engagement with stories that matter. When someone invests 30 minutes watching your founder's journey, they're not just a viewer - they're emotionally invested in your success.
The Streaming Generation
Your audience already binge-watches everything else
They watch 3-hour podcasts. They binge entire Netflix series. They're hungry for depth, authenticity, and real stories. Why are you still feeding them 30-second clips?
SEO & Algorithm Gold
Long-form content dominates every platform
YouTube prioritizes watch time. LinkedIn rewards dwell time. Every platform wants users to stay longer. Documentary content keeps them engaged for 20-30 minutes instead of 20-30 seconds.
Why Documentary
Short-form gets views. Long-form builds communities.
Documentary storytelling creates emotional investment. When someone watches a 20-minute documentary about your founder's journey, they're not just learning about your product - they're becoming part of your story.
Our Philosophy
We're not making ads. We're making films.
Every startup has a story worthy of a documentary. The late nights, the pivots, the breakthroughs, the customers whose lives you've changed. These stories deserve more than a 60-second spot.
