02 — The Opportunity
ATTENTION
equals currency.

Video is the most powerful medium of the modern day. 83% of all web traffic ties back to video. We live in an attention economy — and if you can capture attention from people who trust you, you can monetize it in more ways than one.

What that means for you: the more people who know you, understand you, and trust you before launch day — the more leverage you have with customers, investors, distributors, and partners.

03 — Why We're Here
BUILD HYPE.
Launch with leverage.

Stephen is launching a product brand and wants to build momentum leading into that launch. The way we propose doing that is through a series of unscripted, docu-style mini documentary episodes — founder-led content that pulls back the curtain on who Stephen is, what he's building, and why it matters.

Our objective: humanize you, build trust and credibility, create understanding of the problem you're solving, build an audience, and generate momentum — so that when the product launches, people are already bought in.

Behind the scenes
04 — The Power of Story
THE BIGGEST BRANDS
don't sell products.
THEY TELL STORIES.

When you think about how the biggest companies in the world — Nike, the NFL, UFC — make their events and products compelling to the general public, the answer is story. They don't just show the product. They show the person behind it.

That's what we're building for Stephen. Not just content — a narrative that makes people care before they ever see the product.

The Brand Affinity Flywheel

Any strong brand operates on four pillars — ideology, products, content, and community. Each one reinforces the others. Right now, you have the ideology and you're building the products. The piece that's missing is the content engine. That's what we're here to build.

05 — Our Approach
FORWARD MEETS
backward.

There are two styles of documentary storytelling. Forward filmmaking captures a story as it unfolds in real time. Backward filmmaking tells the story of something that already happened.

We live right in the middle. We tell two stories at once — who you are and where you came from, alongside what you're actively doing right now to build something new.

Forward
THE STORY UNFOLDING

Investor meetings, product formulation, team building, travel — captured in real time.

Backward
THE STORY BEHIND

20+ years in the industry. Connecticut to NYC to Rodeo Drive to Manhattan Beach. Building Amico Salon. Inventing METRICOLOR.

There is no better story than life itself. Our approach allows life to take its course — enhancing the story in the process.
06 — The Content System
ONE SYSTEM.
Content all month.

Every month, we show up 2-3 days with cameras and mics. We capture the real story as it unfolds — meetings, formulations, team moments, travel, interviews, the grind. Then we multiply that raw footage into a full month's worth of content across every format you need.

What We Capture
01
Investor meetings, product formulation sessions, design sessions
02
Team meetings, salon operations, day-to-day grind
03
Travel, events, hanging out with friends and family
04
Sit-down interviews with Stephen, team members, partners, and investors
