Purpose first.
Then the story.

Every anthem film we craft starts with a simple question: What is the intention of the film? Essentially, what do you want people to do after they watch? Once we have that, we listen for the heart of the story, the human connection that lives in every narrative worth telling.

From there, every choice points back to that one intention, from the first interview question to the final edit. We pay close attention to pacing, to feeling, to what a scene stirs in us, because emotion is how we know we've hit the mark. We stay closely connected with you the whole way, so what ends up on screen feels like you.Then we shape it for wherever people are watching: phones, your website, the big screen. No matter where it plays, the feeling remains the same.

"I had the opportunity to work with Ms Pearl Productions on a major public awareness campaign that my agency, Native Marketing, developed for the YMCA of Western North Carolina — and I can’t say enough good things about the experience.Ms Pearl Productions absolutely brought it to life.
‍
From the beginning, Bri and Keresey understood that this needed to be much more than a collection of beautiful shots. We wanted to tell an emotional, human story about the many different ways the Y quietly touches lives across Western North Carolina. They embraced that challenge completely.

Ms Pearl Productions went above and beyond throughout the project — capturing hours of remarkable footage, finding authentic moments we could never have scripted, and approaching every person and every story with tremendous care. The result is a short film that is beautiful, emotional and genuinely moving, along with an incredibly strong library of cut-down videos that will allow the campaign to live across many different channels.

The response from our client and the community has been fantastic, and I believe a huge part of that comes from the humanity Bri and Keresey were able to capture on film.They are talented filmmakers, thoughtful collaborators and people who clearly care deeply about the work they create. I was incredibly impressed with their commitment to this project and would work with Ms Pearl Productions again without hesitation.

Highly, highly recommended."

Who it's for

Companies and organizations running awareness campaigns who want their message to land in a short, story-driven way.

What's Included

Pre-Production

This is where your story takes shape. We start with a discovery session to understand your goals, your audience, and what makes you different, then handle the planning that makes shoot day effortless: story strategy, scripting, shot lists, location scouting, and scheduling. You'll know exactly what we're creating and why before a single camera rolls.

Production

Shoot day, done right. Our all-women crew arrives with the gear, the plan, and a calm, creative energy that puts everyone at ease. We capture cinematic interviews, b-roll, and the real moments that bring your brand to life, directing you every step of the way so you never have to wonder what to do or say.

Post Production

Where it all comes together. We edit your footage into a polished, emotionally resonant film, complete with color grading, sound design, licensed music, and graphics. You'll review it and share feedback, and we'll deliver the final film in every format you need, ready for your website, socials, and campaigns.

FAQs

Have a question before you reach out?
Here are the answers we hear most.

What kinds of commercials do you make?

Short, story-driven films for awareness campaigns, fundraising efforts, product launches, seasonal moments, and events. Some clients need one hero film. Others want a few shorter versions for social, YouTube, or connected TV. Either way, we start with what you want people to do after they watch, and build from there.

How is a commercial different from a brand film?

A commercial or anthem film is short and made for a moment: a campaign, a fundraiser, an event, a launch. It gives people one message to rally around. A brand film is longer and tells the story of who you are, why you started, and what you stand for, so it keeps building trust long after the moment passes. Many clients want both, and Bri and I are happy to plan them together so one shoot can serve both goals.

How much does a commercial cost?

We tailor every budget to the scope of the project and what you need from it. That comes down to the concept, the number of shoot days, locations, and how many versions you'd like. A quick conversation on a Discovery Call is the best way to get a real number, and we will be upfront about what's possible within your budget.

How fast can you turn one around?

Most come together in a few weeks, depending on the scope. If you have a launch, an event, or a campaign date in mind, tell us and we will build the timeline around it.

Will I get versions for different platforms?

Yes. We can shape your film for wherever people will watch it, including different aspect ratios (16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels, Stories, and TikTok, 1:1 for feeds) and shorter cutdowns. These are add-ons to your commercial, quoted separately. We will talk through which versions fit your goals, so you know exactly what's included from the start.

Do you handle the concept, or do we need one ready?

Either way works. If you already have an idea, we'll help bring it to life. If you're starting with a goal, we'll develop the concept and script with you. We begin with the intention of your commercial, and the storyboard grows from there.

Do you run the campaign too?

We create the commercials, ready to publish, in the exact specs each platform needs. We don't manage ad spend or media buying ourselves, but we're glad to coordinate with your marketing team or ad agency so everything drops in smoothly.

Do you work with clients outside Asheville?

Yes. We're based in Asheville and work with clients nationally and internationally. We go where the story steers, and we can build travel into any scope and budget.
