Founder story and VSL production
Interview-led films and video sales letters that put a real person on camera and move people to call, buy or apply.
People buy from people. A founder story puts the person behind the business on camera, lit properly, speaking plainly about who they help and why. A VSL, a video sales letter, does the same job with a clearer ask at the end: call, buy, apply.
The Campaign was designed around this. One production day gives us the interview and the b-roll. From that we cut the hero film for the website and three 30 second vertical VSLs that get pinned to your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube profiles, each one pointing at a landing page we build for you, with comment and DM automation that hands people the link.
Lake Ontario Realty is the example on this site: owner Amanda Miller on camera, her team, her market, and enough footage to keep her social feed running for months.
Where we shoot
New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles, each with a lead videographer. Travel inside the market is included; we travel anywhere in the United States for The Campaign and The Production. Call 315-767-3199 to book.

FAQ
Founder stories and VSLs questions.
What is a VSL?
A VSL is a video sales letter: a short, direct video in which a real person explains who they help, how, and what to do next. At First Studios a VSL is a 30 second vertical clip pinned to your social profiles, pointing at a landing page built to convert.
Do I have to be good on camera?
No. We interview you in conversation, off script, and cut the best parts. Most founders are surprised by how natural it looks.
What does the landing page include?
A fast single page built around the film, with the offer, proof and a booking or purchase action. Hosted and ready to run ads to on day one.
