RTM & Co. The Endurance Model.
Our flagship engagement. A 12-month creative partnership built so each shoot informs the next, each season builds on the one before it, and the work outlasts the moment it was made for.
The best institutional storytelling is built across time, not one shoot at a time.
You already know what project-by-project production costs your institution. Every new engagement starts with a new vendor and a fresh explanation of who you are and what you are building. The work fragments. The archive scatters. The season ends and the next one starts from scratch.
A partnership ends that cycle. Your institution gets a creative team that knows the season, the audience, the priorities, and the internal team. Each shoot informs the next. Each season makes the next one easier to tell. What grows is a media system that gets more useful every year.
Three formats. One creative direction.
Every RTM & Co. partnership runs across film, photography, audio, and post under a single creative voice. The difference between the three is scope: how many shoot days per month, how many formats are running in parallel, and how deep the planning runs.
A focused partnership for a focused season.
One shoot day a month. Light social cutdowns. Ongoing creative consultation. For institutions with concentrated content needs across the year, or institutions trying a creative partnership for the first time.
Includes
- A monthly production shoot day
- Light social cutdowns and platform-ready edits
- Ongoing creative consultation
- Quarterly creative review
Best for: smaller theaters, performing arts nonprofits, emerging cultural institutions, and organizations testing what a creative partnership can do.
A full-season creative partnership.
A major production day every month. Film, photo, and audio running together. Post-production included. For institutions with a full season's worth of campaigns, donor communications, and audience growth to support.
Includes
- A major monthly production day across film, photo, or audio
- Post-production included
- Multi-format outputs across the season
- Quarterly creative planning
- Campaign and archive support
Best for: theaters, festivals, and cultural nonprofits with active season campaigns, donor communication needs, and audience development priorities.
A deep institutional partnership.
Full-season coverage across every format, built around a major moment. Dedicated creative direction. A custom production calendar. For institutions opening a new venue, launching a rebrand, running a multi-year campaign, or staging a season-defining production.
Includes
- Full-season coverage across film, photography, audio, and archive
- Dedicated creative direction
- Campaign hero assets, vignette series, and archival organization
- Quarterly strategic planning
- A custom production calendar built around the institution's season
Best for: institutions ready for a creative partnership at the deepest level. A limited number of clients here, by design.
One studio that amplifies the work you're already making.
Your marketing team stops sourcing creative from five different vendors. Your development team has the donor film in hand before the gala asks for it. Your press team has rollout-ready assets the day a show is announced. Your archive grows quietly all year, ready when a grant report or a board presentation needs it.
What gets made: campaigns, trailers, artist interviews, rehearsal documentation, performance capture, donor films, gala documentation, press assets, social content, web libraries, archive systems, year-end recaps. What changes is that it all lives under one creative direction, one production calendar, and one phone number.
When a single project or sprint is the right fit.
For institutions, agencies, or talent teams with a specific need in mind, two other formats are available.
Project.
A defined creative brief, fixed deliverables, a clear production schedule. Good for a hero film, a vignette series, a campaign launch, or a single institutional moment.
Sprint.
Short timelines, focused scope, fast production and delivery. Good for a press cycle, an urgent campaign, or a one-day capture with quick turnaround.
A conversation first. A season second.
Start with a twenty-minute call. Bring the season you are planning, the audiences you want to reach, and the gaps you already know are there.
If a partnership fits, you get a creative team built around your calendar and your priorities, ready to capture the work as it happens.
Next time something important is happening at the institution, the team is already in place.
