Some stories shouldn't be generated. They should be lived.
We create cinematic stories about the founders, companies and projects building solutions that matter.
Real people.Real places.Real challenges.Real impact.
A fisherman, a coastline, and what our appetite for fish really costs.
The quiet work of pollination, and the colony behind every harvest.
A place in the Beskid Mountains where people and nature still keep pace.
The wood, the workshop and the people behind a floor built to last.
Directed by Stefan Placzek, Creative Director at SustainMotion360 Stories. 15+ years directing cinematic, emotionally-driven stories for brands, places and people.
At a time when AI can generate unlimited content, we believe real people, real journeys, real places and real impact matter more than ever.
Through high-quality cinematic filmmaking, interviews and storytelling, we turn exceptional sustainability journeys into human stories people can understand, feel and remember.
Tell us what you're building.
Founders and companies submit a short application through the website. We want to understand what you are building, what problem you are solving, why it matters, what makes your journey different, who is behind it and what impact you are trying to create.
The application is selective but accessible. Applying does not automatically mean being accepted.
Not every story becomes a SustainMotion360 Story.
Our team reviews each application on the strength of the idea, its relevance, authenticity, potential impact and storytelling possibilities. We are looking for projects where there is a genuinely compelling human story behind the technology, company or solution.
Selected applicants are invited to an initial conversation.
Let's discover the story behind the company.
Selected founders meet with André and our Film Director for an initial Story Session. This is not yet about cameras, locations or editing — it is about understanding the founder, the journey, the problem, the breakthrough, the people involved, the impact, and why this particular story deserves to exist.
We also define what the film needs to achieve — brand positioning, founder visibility, investor communication, customer engagement, a project launch, recruitment or thought leadership. The objective determines the creative direction.
Every project is different.
Our team develops the proposed storytelling approach: creative concept, narrative direction, interview approach, film format and duration, locations, people to feature, production requirements, distribution opportunities and additional social content.
At this stage we also define the scope, production timeline and project fee. Once both sides agree on the concept, scope and commercial terms, the project is confirmed.
Then we bring the story to life.
Our Film Director and production team work with the founder to prepare and execute the shoot — founder interviews, team members, customers or communities, production facilities, technology in action, architecture and locations, behind-the-scenes moments and real-world impact.
The founder does not need to be an actor or prepare a corporate speech. Our job is to discover and capture the story authentically.
The hero film is the centrepiece, not necessarily the only output.
Depending on the agreed scope, one production can become a cinematic hero film, short films, founder interviews, social-media cuts, vertical video, photography, behind-the-scenes material, LinkedIn storytelling content and campaign assets.
AI can help us intelligently adapt and scale content, while the core story remains unmistakably human.
A powerful story deserves an audience.
We think beyond production. Where appropriate, selected stories can also become part of the SustainMotion360 editorial ecosystem and be amplified through relevant professional networks and channels.
Distribution opportunities depend on the project and are never sold as a guaranteed number of views or impressions.
There is no fixed package price, because these are not packages.The investment depends on the ambition, complexity, locations, production requirements and intended outcome of each story — all of it defined together, before anything is confirmed.
If we believe there is something extraordinary there, let's explore how to bring it to life. We review every submission carefully, and if your project could be a strong fit our team will contact you to arrange an initial Story Session.
Applying does not automatically mean being accepted — and being selected means we believe your story is worth exploring, not that the film is free.
