[ THE BIG IDEA · WHAT WE BELIEVE ]

The best idea in the room
shouldn't be the best-kept secret.

[ CINEGRAPH MEDIA ]

Ever notice everyone introduces themselves with a job title?

We find the story your best customers share about you, film you telling it, and share it where people look you up.

We're a film studio in Colorado Springs. We make video for owners who are great at what they do.

Your best customers share with a friend why they pick you. That's your story.

Find it.

We start with you. One sit-down, and we find what your customers say about you when they send a friend your way.

Film it.

We film you telling it, at your place or in the studio.

Share it.

We share it where people look you up.

So what's the one thing your customers say about you?

[ WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US ]

On the 30-second pitch review Matt ran at a VetNet meeting:

“People were revising them on the fly. They were more efficient. And they did a better job of selling their … product.”
“VetNet — because of him — has moved back toward the direction of being like a business development team, businesses helping each other, rather than just a networking group.”

His own words about his experience, not on behalf of VetNet.

Craig

On using the opening approach he learned from Matt Watkins at college fair panels and information presentations with career and technical educators from Colorado metro Denver and Colorado Springs:

“I followed his system. And it got the room … leaned forward. Literally.”
“The system that he … had was … phenomenal. So now I’ve been using it everywhere I go.”
Marsh
“The service we consistently receive from Matt Watkins, owner of cinegraph media, is nothing short of stellar! His experience, creativity, professionalism, and quality are so much appreciated. Additionally, turnaround times are prompt with consistent and reliable follow-through. A true pleasure to work with!!”

[ SCENE 1 · THE PROBLEM ]

A beautiful video of the wrong message
is still the wrong message.

Most owners are great at the work and hard to tell apart online. What a stranger finds was written years ago, by someone guessing. So we start with the story, because a camera can only film what you've decided to say.

[ A NOTE FROM SLATER ]

Before you head to Connect, watch the film at the top of this page. It's short, and it's the quickest way to see what we do. Then tell us about your business and we'll take it from there.

[ BEFORE THE CAMERA · START WITH THE STORY ]

Before we build the set,
we find the story.

Not ready for a full production? Start with the method. Story First // Studio OS is how you find the one story your customers would tell about you, get it down to one sentence, and film it on your own phone, so you know what to say before the camera rolls.

See how the method works
[ HOW IT FITS TOGETHER · START WITH A NOTE ]

Send a note.
We read before we talk.

Our work runs on maps. Here is how they fit together.

// WHERE OUR PROCESS STARTS

The Mini Map

A short read of your business from the outside, the way a customer finds it. Our process starts with one: it looks for the problem before anyone talks about cameras.

// YOUR STORY, ON PAPER

The Signal Map

Your story, written down in your own words. Our films start from it.

// YOUR MAP, IN PUBLIC

The Beacon

Your Signal Map, put to work in public: clear answers to the questions your customers ask.

How the three maps work is on the Connect page.

Find it. Film it. Share it.
