Video storytelling for higher education, nonprofits, and organizations

Grass Roots Media partners with higher education institutions, nonprofits, and organizations to create authentic, story-driven video and documentary projects. Our work is grounded in collaboration, shaped by experience, and focused on real people and real moments.

Based in the Midwest, we work nationally and internationally to produce videos that inform, engage, and endure.

  • We work closely with colleges and universities to tell stories that reflect the complexity and depth of academic life through video. From research, outreach, and institutional storytelling to student and faculty profiles, our approach prioritizes clarity, authenticity, and respect for the subject.

    Our team understands the collaborative nature of higher education communications and the importance of aligning creative work with institutional values

  • We work with mission-driven organizations to create honest, human-centered video stories. Whether documenting programs, capturing personal testimony, or supporting outreach and fundraising efforts, we focus on storytelling that builds trust and connection.

  • For organizations and corporate teams, we produce video that balances storytelling with purpose. Our work spans documentary-style productions and more structured pieces, shaped by the needs of each project and audience.
