Story. Impact. Now.

FrameWeight Productions films make a societal impact about present-day themes, told through compelling intimate stories. Documentaries contain a strong narrative arc. Relevant topics reveal a previously unseen world. Protagonists come to life in their own environment.

The films of FrameWeight Productions have three main priorities: story, impact and now. With story, the individuals in the film undergo some change, face some challenge and reach some resolution. Stories are necessary since we reach each other through our communication, in the stories we tell each other, in the stories we re-tell.

Making an impact means selecting topics that are relevant and bring about change in the society as a whole. Oftentimes, documentaries are uncomfortable, and some people would rather not bring these issues to the light of day. This is the fodder to precipitate change.

Focusing on the now means real people, real lives and real environments in which they live. Some of the most interesting stories are the ones from regular people, doing extraordinary things.

Each frame has weight—each frame can create impact.

FrameWeight – The Weight of Frames

FrameWeight derives from the properties of physical film (see PSAP for a good overview). Each film format has a different number of sprocket holes per frame, allowing the transport roller of the projector or camera to move the film without tearing.

8mm film has one hole per frame, 16mm has one hole on each side, 35mm has four holes on each side, etc. Each format has a different number of holes because each frame has a different physical mass.
