// event microstories
Short, authentic portrait films captured at your event that keep the human energy alive long after the doors close.
Book a Discovery CallYou invested months of planning, thousands of euros, and real human energy into bringing people together. For one day, the room was alive.
Then it ends. A few photos on LinkedIn. A recap email. Maybe a highlight reel no one watches twice.
The conversations, the connections, the moments that mattered most: they disappear.
Your event deserved better. The people who showed up deserved better. And your audience who wasn’t there? They never get to feel what happened in that room.
// what are event microstories
Event Microstories are short portrait films captured at conferences, summits, and gatherings. Each one features one attendee: their personal story, what drives them, and why they showed up.
On top of that, the strongest moments from all interviews are woven into a single event film. A cinematic recap anchored by real human voices instead of generic highlight footage.
// what you get
01
3–5 films · each 60–90 seconds
Each film tells one attendee’s story: who they are, what drives them, and why they showed up. Personal, authentic, and immediately shareable on LinkedIn, Instagram, and your website.
02
1 film · 2–3 minutes
The strongest moments from all interviews woven together with event footage into a cohesive recap. Not a highlight reel, but a story about why your event matters, told through the people who were there.
All films are delivered in cuts optimised for LinkedIn, Instagram, and your website. You own the content.
// how it works
01
A short discovery call to understand your event, your audience, and what you’re hoping the content will actually do.
02
One day at your event. I capture the atmosphere, the energy, and pull people aside for focused 15–20 minute interviews throughout the day.
03
In post-production, I cut both ways from the same material: individual portrait films and one combined event story. Typically delivered within 2–3 weeks.
04
Drip one story per week on LinkedIn. Share the event film with your board. Use the content for months, not days.

// honest numbers
from €2,500
One event day. Full post-production included.
Scope varies based on travel and number of interviews. Multi-day events or rush timelines may affect pricing.
Every project gets a detailed written proposal with exact scope and cost before you commit. No surprises.
// common questions
Very little. I handle the logistics. Your team helps identify 3–5 good interviewees beforehand, and on the day I work independently. Most clients are surprised by how smooth it feels.
That’s completely fine. I never force anyone. In my experience, once people see the style of conversation (relaxed, no scripts, no pressure), most are happy to participate. I’m looking for willing voices, not reluctant ones.
Typically within 2–3 weeks of the event. If you need a teaser or one film faster for a specific deadline, we can discuss a rush delivery.
Yes. You own the content and can use it across all your channels: website, social media, internal communications, future events, presentations. No usage restrictions.
Yes. Most of my work is international. I’ve filmed across 8+ countries. Travel is always scoped into the budget clearly and upfront.
Of course. The discovery call is free and there’s no pressure. We’ll talk about your event, your goals, and whether this format makes sense. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you honestly.
