Stories that move students,
donors, and boards.
Griffith Media produces video for colleges and education institutions: recruitment, campaign, and program storytelling, including ongoing work with Tarrant County College.
Campus work is committee work
Multi-stakeholder approvals.
Marcomm, deans, and legal all get a say. Our review workflow is built for it, so approvals move instead of stalling.
Brand systems compliance.
Institutional brand guidelines are honored from treatment through final graphics. No rogue typefaces in the donor film.
Shooting around academic calendars.
Semesters, breaks, and commencement season set the schedule. We plan production windows around campus reality.
Student consent & FERPA awareness.
Releases, consent, and privacy handled as part of production, not discovered as a problem in post.
One shoot, two missions.
The same production days serve admissions and advancement: recruitment stories and campaign material from one budget.
Fundraising that doesn't beg.
Donor and campaign films move people when they tell one student's true story, not when they plead. It is the gift officer's dream: a film that does the emotional setup, so the ask lands on its own.
How the recruitment and fundraising films actually get made.
“Better than what
we imagined.”
“What stood out to us was the time they took to really listen to our vision and what we were trying to accomplish. They were able to take that and frame it in a way that was better than what we imagined.”
“Griffith Media and Big Screen Studios are fantastic to work with. We were able to use their virtual production setup to produce an incredible video that motivated our audience and helped us break records in an annual fundraiser. Highly recommend them.”
A fundraiser built to break the record.
For the Foundation’s Promise campaign, we used virtual production and an LED wall to put donors inside the story. It helped break the record in their annual fundraiser.

FAQ
- Can you work within our brand guidelines?
- Yes. Brand-system compliance is table stakes in this world. Send the guidelines and we build them into treatment, graphics, and delivery specs before anything is shot.
- How do you handle student releases?
- Releases and consent are managed as part of production, with FERPA awareness baked into how we plan interviews and b-roll on campus. Your legal and marcomm teams see the process before we roll.
- Can one production serve multiple departments?
- That's the plan we push for: one shoot scoped so admissions gets recruitment stories and advancement gets campaign material from the same production days, one budget serving several stakeholders.
- Do you offer ongoing programs?
- Yes. Institutions with year-round content needs run on our Fractional Creative Team model: quarterly planning, reserved monthly capacity, and one named producer.
