FAQs
What is BingsWings Productions Mission?
Heart. Humor. Humanity. BingsWings Productions “gives wings” to businesses and nonprofits by providing high quality yet affordable short documentary fundraisers, PSAs and promotionals, lighting up an organization from its core.
What Opens Someone’s Heart – and Wallet?
The answer is real, life-changing client stories. A BingsWings Productions private school client raised one million dollars in the first month of using the video in their fundraising campaign! When a success story is told from an emotional viewpoint, it connects hearts in a way that just facts and figures or static pictures do not. In the last decade, Diane’s and now BingsWings Productions’ short documentaries have also helped nonprofits with chapters in Southern and Northern California, Phoenix, Austin, and Denver raise nearly half a million dollars in multi-year pledges at their fundraising events.
What Should I Expect?
Your vital message needs to be shared! You may have a clear idea of what you want to say. Or perhaps you are looking for someone to help capture your message.
You will have one-on-one meetings with your key staff + Diane. Diane will help identify the most relevant ideas and take care of everything including:
o Helping to select your most compelling clients to interview
o Writing—or helping you write the outline
o Selecting the shooting locations
o Hiring crew, carefully scheduling shoot days
o Conducting all interviews
o Editing, voice-overs, music selection
Why is BingsWings Productions Different than Other Production Companies?
Owner/Director Diane Kelber has nearly 20 years as a Communications Director in the nonprofit sector both locally and nationally. She spent those years teaming up with development directors, clients, and volunteers, creating videos and other material that speak to an audience in a visceral way. Diane is also a professional actress, able to instantly connect with interview subjects. Most people freeze in front of a camera; working with Diane allows them to open up to the camera for surprisingly candid interviews. Her crew consists of top Hollywood professionals, giving her documentaries the highest possible quality to ensure that one can compete in the crowded Southern California market.

Who Doesn’t Need a Video?
This is a trick question! Our videos instantly connect with the viewer and tell your unique, personal story on a deep level in very little time. Every company has a wealth of success stories and subjects who would love to tell the world how their lives have changed for the better.
For nonprofits, the world has grown increasingly business-like and one must stand out from the others in order to survive the competition for support dollars. For other businesses as well, people don’t have the patience to read! They want to see what sets you apart, and hear testimonials. Additionally, a two to eight-minute documentary video created for websites, events, or speaking engagements can be repurposed into a shorter video for social media, or even as a 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA).
Experts agree that custom videos get your visitors to spend more time on your website, actively engaging them with information they will remember through the storytelling. Putting a face on your clients and services will create an active bond that resonates with potential clients. Contact us!
