Show the impactwithout flattening the people in it.
Documentary, field and institutional video for NGOs, UN agencies and foundations working in Honduras — made to satisfy a donor review and still move somebody who isn't paid to care.

Development work is easy to film badly. What matters is whether the crew protects the relationship the programme depends on — and whether the edit answers what a donor actually asks.
Made to satisfy a donor and still move someone
Cut against the results framework, not a showreel, and delivered bilingual with subtitle files for social, plenary and the annual report. One production covers the channels instead of three separate briefs.
We've done this with the agencies you report to
Field and institutional work for UNICEF, PNUD, Fundación Ayuda en Acción, Fundación María and marine conservation programmes on both coasts. We know what procurement needs and what a safeguarding policy actually requires on the day.
Consent and sign-off agreed in writing first
Story, safeguarding rules and who approves are settled before anyone books a flight. Coordination happens in Spanish, at the pace of the programme, so nobody in the community is surprised by a camera.
People filmed as people, not as evidence
Participants get the dignity of a real portrait and their own words, not a b-roll pass. It's the difference between a video a community is proud of and one that quietly costs you their trust.
What we produce
Documentary & field production
Small crews that can work in the field for days at a time, in Spanish, without turning a programme visit into a production.
Donor & institutional reporting
Short pieces built around the results framework, so the video answers the question a donor is actually going to ask.
Testimony & interview
Consent-first interviews with participants and staff, captured cleanly enough that you can still reuse them in three years.
Bilingual delivery & subtitles
Spanish and English versions, subtitled and captioned, cut to the lengths social, plenary and the annual report each need.
Field consent & safeguarding pack
The participant consent form and field checklist we use on NGO shoots, in Spanish and English. Adapt it for your own programme — no attribution needed.

How a production runs
Scope & consent
We agree the story, the safeguarding rules and who signs off — in writing, before anyone books a flight or a vehicle.
Field production
A small crew working in Spanish, at the pace of the programme rather than the pace of a shooting schedule.
Edit & versions
One main edit, then the cutdowns, language versions and subtitle files each channel needs — quoted together, not as extras.
Before you ask
Do you work in Spanish?
Spanish is our first language. Interviews, consent and all field coordination happen in Spanish; delivery can be Spanish, English or both.
Can you follow our safeguarding policy?
Yes — send it to us before we scope the job. Consent and image-use rules get agreed in writing before anyone films, and we'll flag anything in your policy we can't practically meet.
We have old footage. Is it worth anything?
Often, yes. We'll review what exists and tell you honestly whether an edit is worth paying for before you commit to one — sometimes the answer is no.
Can you invoice an international organisation?
Yes. VRTKL MEDIA S de R.L. is a registered Honduran company and can invoice in lempiras or dollars, with the documentation procurement departments usually ask for.
Tell us about the programme.
What it does, where it works, and what you need to show. We'll come back with an approach and a budget range.
