Tim Spranzey Doc Title
"Don't tell my wife"
A Milwaukee gem who's obsessed with humming birds and knows everyone in the entire world. He's eccentric, he's a little crazy, and he loves clouds.
Help us not only tell Tim's story and bring out vision to life, but help us shine a light on the super strange people who make "art".

Sponsorship
Bringing Tim to Life

To Make It Happen
We partner with brands and organizations who believe in authentic storytelling. Each documentary is an independent creative work — but to bring it to life, we rely on sponsors who share our vision.
Your support helps cover production costs, travel, post-production, and distribution — allowing us to focus on creating something real and lasting.
Together, we turn powerful human stories into films that reach audiences on broadcast and streaming platforms nationwide.

It Will Go
Each project is produced for wide distribution — from regional PBS and streaming platforms to festival circuits and online premieres.
Our goal is to elevate real Midwest stories and connect them with audiences everywhere, while giving our sponsors authentic visibility that feels organic and earned.
This model lets meaningful stories exist because of community support — and ensures that every brand involved is part of something larger than advertising: it’s legacy storytelling.
