Top 100 Documentary Production Companies
July 2022Looking for a top documentary company?
Documentaries are videos that capture reality. They typically include interviews and follow real-life events to weave a story or make a point. This video format is best for educating your audience, which is why you often watch documentaries in school – especially to teach history.
As you search for a video production company that specializes in documentaries, look for an ability to tell an interesting, emotionally story grounded in facts. For example, if your business is participating in a conference and wants a branded video about its founding story, a documentary production company is a good fit for the project.
That's why we've created this list of the best documentary production companies for you to review. Read through company descriptions, former clients, and notable projects to find the best fit for your business. (And, if you want personalized recommendations, tell us about your project.)
