Providing voices for those whose voices are rarely heard.

Telling stories of people who shepherd programs that work.

Creating media that changes lives.

A not-for-profit production company founded in 1990 by award-winning filmmaker Robin Smith, Video/Action has produced more than 500 videos and won hundreds of national awards.

Video/Action collaborates with community activists, innovative social justice and educational programs, cultural institutions, and businesses to produce television documentaries and broadcast-quality videos for training, fundraising, and personal tributes. We have developed a unique niche by working primarily with organizations that have no prior experience in video production.

Many of our productions include substantial outreach components in the form of on-line postings, training workshops, multi-media programs for youth, apprenticeships, study guides, and discussion groups. Our distribution campaigns have impacted targeted populations with tremendous success.

We take the time to know our clients and get to the heart of their stories. We identify their voices. We tell their stories organically and truthfully. We create media that changes lives.

Video/Action is a woman-directed, full-service video production company offering a highly experienced production team and meticulous attention to detail. The six key phases of our collaborative production process are:

Planning – We work directly with the client to distill key messages and shape the story.

Field Production – We manage all logistics for location filming.

Writing and Editing – We share a rough cut with the client for feedback/revisions.

Fine Cut Editing – We talk through revisions with the client before making final edits and enhancements.

Final Delivery – We provide the client with a polished final product that includes music, graphics, and closed captions if required.

Distribution – Upon completion of the video, we help the client shape a distribution strategy to ensure exposure to the widest possible audience.

Video/Action’s satisfied clients range from small community nonprofits to public and private companies to U.S. government agencies. For nearly three decades we’ve created top-quality media exploring their powerful stories and providing a vital voice.

e’d be honored to tell your story.
