The work changed lives. Let it speak.
Sauti Pictures makes narrated films for NGOs, foundations and the organisations that fund them. Your footage, your people and your results, told clearly, captioned and ready for the room.
A decade of impact in six minutes.
A documentary-style film for a women's enterprise programme across seven African countries. Alumnae speak in their own words over a narrated story, with branded graphics and captions throughout. This is a 75-second cut of the full film.
Featured film: A Decade of Women Creating Wealth.
Films that fit how you report, fundraise and present.
Impact films
Three to seven minutes from your interviews, photos and footage. The story of a programme, a year or a milestone.
Explainers
Sixty to ninety seconds that say what you do and why it matters, for your website, a pitch or a funder.
Narrated presentations
Board decks, annual results and investor updates turned into a voiced, captioned film people will actually watch.
Four samples, four voices.
Four short films made for a fictional organisation, to show what we can do. The voices are synthetic and chosen to show range: British, American, South African and Australian. Prefer your own voice? Send us a short recording and, with your written consent, we can create voiceovers in it.
