Small Business Video, Photography, and Animation Production That Actually Connects

Small business storytelling has come a long way from stiff scripts and boardroom monologues, and frankly, so have audiences.

At Story Vessel, we approach small business video production as an opportunity to reveal the human side of business. Whether it’s executive messaging, brand positioning, recruitment campaigns, or internal communications, we help companies communicate with clarity, authenticity, and intention, not just polish.

Because here’s the truth: people don’t connect with brands, they connect with the people inside them.

Our process blends strategic thinking with documentary-style storytelling. We listen first, translate second, and produce content that aligns with your business goals while still feeling real. We don’t add jargon for the sake of sounding important. We don’t overproduce gloss that strips away personality. We create clear, compelling narratives that reflect who you are and why you matter.

We help small to medium-sized teams show up in a way that resonates, builds trust, and actually lands with their audience.

"Jenée is one of the best producers I have ever worked with. We were shooting a national campaign with zero time and a million hurdles. Jenée was so creative with her problem solving skills, while being hard working, friendly, accommodating and organized... well beyond what I am used to. We couldn't have pulled it off without her! I am indebted to her and can't wait to work with her again."

—Judy Timms Associate - Creative Director, Publicis
"Jenée led production on a shoot for our Stanley brand. She was stellar and a true pleasure to work with. She strikes a great balance of professional and personable, and always on top of things. She has the perfect balance of skills - meticulously detailed and highly collaborative in the upfront part of planning, as well as a strong creative problem solver (if we needed something we hadn't planned for, Jenée came up with a great solution). She kept in close communication through the entire process, which helped me know everything was on time and on target. We felt very taken care of, almost spoiled, through the entire shoot. My team here at PMI and I are lucky to have worked with her and look forward to next time."

-Erika Canfield Creative Lead, Pacific Market International
"I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work with Jenée. We worked side-by-side on the premiere of MIDDLETON at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) and she was great. Jenée and her crew were well-organized, efficient, collegial and attentive. Jenée and her team made the set come to life, while keeping the actors laughing often. I look forward to working with her again."

—Sig Libowitz - Hollywood producer/writer/actor
“Working with Story Vessel feels like a true partnership rather than a typical vendor relationship. Amos and Jenée consistently take the time to deeply understand our vision, our brand, and the visual story we want to share. We’ve worked with many creative partners over the years, but Story Vessel stands out as one of the absolute best. Their combination of technical expertise, collaboration, and professionalism is rare. I highly recommend Story Vessel.”
