Consider us your on-call video strategists.

You know it's no longer enough to merely do what you do and trust that word will get out. The people you want to connect with want to connect with you wherever and whenever they want -- and there's no better way to fulfill that desire than video.

We can help you tell your story in a way that draws just the right people to you at just the right time.

We are award-winning New York City documentary filmmakers. Whatever the project, we seek out the raw, emotional heart of the story that lies behind every important undertaking. Our guiding principles are authenticity, simplicity, and emotional impact.

At Pure Vérité Films, we keep our impact high and our costs down by using the smartest technologies for creating and delivering our productions.

Our films can take a variety of forms, which we hand-tailor to your unique objectives, including:

Promotional films
Let us create a film you can show at trade shows, conferences, meetings, corporate team-building events, or to potential investors that conveys your passion, skill and unique strengths. We've created films that follow the invention of a new product, showcase the amenities of a property, and steep the viewer in the sights, sounds, and tastes of a French wine-country tour.

Web videos
Convert potential clients who stumble across your website with a 1-to-2 minute video that immerses them in the authentic experience of engaging in a relationship with you.

Video announcements
Manage the message around big transitions in your business. Announce new appointments, mergers, or changes in strategy with a video that shares exactly the information you want in exactly the tone you want to convey.

Video profiles
Whether it's honoring a person on a major milestone, presenting a new executive to the team, or introducing faculty to incoming students, a video profile brings the subject's personality and achievement to life.

Sales presentation videos
Give your sales team the ultimate fodder--a spellbinding story. We'll also develop different versions of the finished piece that are customized to each different client.

College admissions videos
Many colleges are now accepting -- and in some cases, requiring -- videos as part of the application process. We work with families to produce videos that showcase talents, skills, passions, personality, and accomplishments. The end result is professional without being overly slick.

Legal videos
Our seasoned crew is available to shoot video of crime scenes, record witness statements, and capture any other documentation your case may require. We have a legal expert on hand to guide our efforts.

Process video
Give potential clients or sponsors a window in to what it's truly like to work with you. Turning the lens on your process establishes your credibility and professionalism before you even submit your first proposal.

Presentation videos
Stand out in a crowded field with a dynamic video that shows -- not tells -- why, how, and what you do. A video brings your presence in to the room when you can't be there in person, and amplifies your impact when you can.

Commercials
Using our trademark vérité style, we can tailor your message to a 30-60 second commercial. The end result is film-level quality, suitable for broadcast on cable or network television.

Social media videos
We know what has legs and what doesn't. We can produce the videos that will get seen, optimize them for various social media outlets, and deliver them in a ready-to-use format that only takes a click to upload.

Testimonial videos
Instead of relying on text, let us capture the words, body language and emotions of your satisfied customers in compelling video testimonials.

Training videos
We'll craft an authentic educational experience that inspires as it teaches.

Live event coverage
Let us capture this seminal moment in your family's life as it happens. Working unobtrusively and with utmost professionalism, our two-person team will film the festivities, interview attendees and capture all the ritual and revelry as it unfolds. Using our finely-honed storytelling skills, we'll craft a 20-40 minute film that captures all the ceremony and celebration of your child's coming of age and deliver it in the format of your choice--either digital, DVD, or a combination. We'll also provide you with DVDs of the unedited footage.

College tennis recruitment videos
Pure Vérité Films founder Doug Saputo played tennis for Columbia University, taught as a professional, and maintains numerous connections to the tennis world (including regular work for the Johnny Mac Tennis Project and the John McEnroe Tennis Academy). We maintain regular contact with coaches at several universities, so we stay abreast of what college coaches are looking for in a recruitment video. As a result, we specialize in creating videos that showcase prospective college student athletes in the professional manner that college coaches expect. See samples here.

College sports recruitment videos
College coaches are increasingly requesting, and in some cases requiring their prospective student athletes to provide a video. In team sports this usually requires some game footage. In individual sports, stroke or swing technique footage might be necessary. Although tennis is our speciality, we offer expertise in creating these videos in numerous sports.
