Brand films
A hero film, usually 90 to 120 seconds, that tells people who you are and why they should care. Film-level visuals and professional audio, shaped around the one decision you need the viewer to make.

What we film
What can LIFTED film for us?
Every project starts with a true story and a job for it to do. These are the kinds of work we make most often.
Customer stories and testimonials
Your clients, on camera, in their own words. Like the client films we made for Reliance Builders of Colorado and Chy Creative. Weddings taught us you cannot direct honesty. You can only make people comfortable enough to forget the camera.
Documentary-style films
Story-first films for organizations with something real to say. The first film we ever made was a tribute for Ian's mother. Nobody hired us. That instinct for a true story is still the center of the work.
Commercials and social video
Campaign films and paid media production, plus the trailers, cutdowns, vertical shorts and retargeting cuts that keep a message moving. One shoot day can yield 20 to 50 cutdowns.
Photography
Branded stills shot on the same day as your film, with the same light and the same gear. A full shoot day typically delivers 20+ stills alongside the video.
Music, audio and podcasts
The name says Film | Music for a reason. The first thing we made was a music video. Professional audio and sound design are part of every film we make, and we produce music, audio and podcasts as well.

How a project works
Four beats. One system.
Every LIFTED engagement moves through the same sequence: Story, Cinema, Asset, Action. It turns a true story into something people act on, and it keeps the film from becoming a very expensive Instagram post.
01Story
Start with what actually moves people.
Before any camera comes out, we find the one decision your film has to drive.
- 60-minute Story Session
- Audience, tension and desired emotion
- The hero narrative beats
02Cinema
Shape it with cinematic film and professional audio.
Production days on location, directed by the two people who built the story with you.
- Cinematic production days on location
- Editing, sound design, color grade
- Story-driven direction from the founders
03Asset
Deliver an asset built for its job.
Trailer, short, doc, film or series. A library of assets, not a one-off video sitting on a hard drive.
- 1 hero brand film (90–120s)
- 3 cutdowns · 8–12 vertical shorts
- 20+ branded stills
04Action
Inspire the action. Never manufacture it.
The film gets somewhere to take people next: a landing page, CRM, lead capture, a five-email nurture and retargeting cuts.
- Custom funnel page + CRM install
- Automated email, SMS and chat follow-up

Why LIFTED
Why work with two founders?
- Since 2008We've been making films since 2008, starting with a decade-plus of LIFTED Weddings, where there is no second take. The CEO in a brand film is the same nervous human as the groom.
- Both of us, every shootIan and Kadri are both behind the camera on production days. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior editors learning on your budget.
- The film is written in the editIan is the cinematographer on most production days. Kadri is the master editor. She decides what the story becomes: which take is the truth, where the silence goes, what gets cut to make the rest land.
- A film with somewhere to goWe build the funnel the film lives in, install the CRM, and set up email, text and chat follow-up. Ian stays on after delivery as fractional CMO.

“Their ability to draw the story out with such attention to detail and immaculate editing to produce a product that feels cinematic is worth every cent (& more!).”

Questions
Questions people ask us first.
Who actually shows up on shoot day?
We do. Ian and Kadri Bennett are both behind the camera on production days. Ian preps the set before anybody rolls: blocking, lenses, light, and where the sun will actually be in forty minutes. Kadri edits the film afterward.
What do we get from one shoot day?
You don't shoot a thing, you shoot a day. A typical full day yields one hero brand film of 90 to 120 seconds, three cutdowns, 8 to 12 vertical shorts and 20+ branded stills. One shoot can produce 20 to 50 cutdowns in total.
Can you help after the film is delivered?
Yes. We can build the landing page the film lives on, install the CRM, and set up lead capture, a five-email nurture, retargeting cuts, and automated email, SMS and chat follow-up. Ian can also stay on as fractional CMO.
Do you work with nonprofits and public agencies?
Yes. We work with professional service firms, nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. LIFTED Entertainment Inc. is also registered in SAM.gov for federal, state and local work. The details are on our government contracting page.
How much does a video cost, and how do we start?
We quote on the call. Start with a free, 20-minute Greenlight Session. Before the call, we'll run a quick AI-assisted diagnosis of your site and socials so we start with a brief, not a blank page.
“Lifted is top tier. I’ve been using their service since 2016 and never considered another company for my film and photography needs.”
