A corporate documentary tells the story of a company through real people and real stories. Wannaboo is a video production company from Vicenza, Italy, active since 2012: we have produced documentaries for the United Nations and ICGEB.
It is the right choice when the story is too long for a video of a few minutes: an anniversary, a research programme, a project that changed the company.

How a documentary is made
Five steps, with one fixed contact at Wannaboo.
Listening
You tell us the story and who you want to reach.
Research and outline
We look for the people, the places and the thread of the story. You approve it before we shoot.
Shooting
The crew follows people where they live and work.
Editing
The story takes shape from the footage. We send you a first cut to comment on.
Delivery
Agreed revisions, then the final files, with short versions and subtitles if needed.
Our own films
Documentaries we chose to make ourselves: food, climate, plants.
What the cost of a documentary depends on
We do not publish a price list: every documentary is different. The cost depends on:
- Length and research. How long the story is and how much it needs to be studied.
- Shooting days and crew. How many people are needed on set, and for how many days.
- Places and travel. One site or several countries.
- Post-production and music. Editing, colour, graphics, rights.
- Versions. Languages, subtitles, short cuts for social media.
After a first conversation we send a quote that explains each item.
Corporate documentary FAQ
What is a corporate documentary?
It is a film that tells the story of a company, or of a subject it cares about, through real people and real stories. It has time to explain, which a video of a few minutes cannot do.
Corporate documentary, docufilm, company film: is there a difference?
They are different names for the same kind of work: a long, true story about a company. We choose the right format together, based on the story.
How much does a corporate documentary cost?
It depends on length, research, shooting days, places, post-production and versions. We do not publish a price list: after a first conversation we send a quote that explains each item.
How long does it take?
It depends on the story and on how many people and places it involves: there is no standard time. If you have a specific date, such as an anniversary, tell us straight away and we will set the milestones together.
Do you also shoot outside Italy?
Yes. We are based in Vicenza, but for A Fish Out of Water we travelled to the Lofoten Islands, north of the Arctic Circle.
