Our Team Helping Yours
Point Video approaches the work you do as a story that needs to be told. The documentaries we produce are engaging narratives about your organization’s mission and culture each including a call-to-action compelling viewers not only to lend their aid but also directing them how to do so.
We have designed a series of versatile packages to meet any organization’s needs and budget. These packages include presentations that can be used on websites, in direct mailers, at fundraisers, galas, and on television. Each project is individually tailored to the needs of our clients through a pre-production process in which our writers and segment directors work with members of your team in order to fully understand your organization’s history, present work, and future goals. To learn more about how our videos can help further your organization’s cause visit our Why Do I Need Video page.
Executive Staff:
Peter A. Cancilla, Founder of Point Video Productions
Peter A. Cancilla has always been fascinated by the concept of visual storytelling. He holds a bachelors in communications and cinema studies from Northeastern University and has years of experience in television and video production and post-production. Peter has produced media packages for small agencies, universities, law firms, medical institutions, and large corporations. He came to the realization that he felt a deeper commitment to nonprofit projects. Not only does he find furthering the cause of philanthropic organizations rewarding, he also enjoys the aesthetic challenge that nonprofit productions offer: to mix emotion and information into a high-impact story for a variety of audiences and goals.
“Any filmmaker will tell you that there is nothing more rewarding than witnessing an audience have an emotional response to your work. In projects like these, that emotional response leads to action,” Peter says of his craft.
Peter has found that most non-profits lack video presentations, which is an essential tool to further goals and to raise funds. This led him to found Point Video Productions.
