Projects that are a strong fit
Rocket House Pictures works best with organizations that need a production partner who can help shape the story, plan the shoot, guide interviews, manage the crew, and finish the project for the places it will be used.
Nonprofits & foundations
Fundraising films, donor stories, impact videos, campaign content, gala videos, and documentary projects.
Nonprofit video production
Government & public-sector teams
Public-information videos, training content, program stories, documentary work, and internal communications.
Public-Sector video production
Businesses, brands & agencies

Cultural & documentary projects
Interview-led films about people, communities, history, art, public issues, and work taking place across Colorado.

Nonprofit fundraising
Dairy Arts Center
Rocket House produced a short organizational film for the Dairy’s 2026 Crystal Ball, designed to frame the donation appeal around the artists, educators, organizations, and audiences that rely on the Boulder arts center.
The film screened at the sold-out event and remains available for donor meetings, sponsorship presentations, grant conversations, and later campaigns. The Dairy’s subsequent financial filing reported charitable contributions up 78% during the broader campaign period.

Customer testimonial video production
Customer testimonial videos are one of Rocket House Pictures’ strongest areas of work. We have produced interview-led customer stories for Crocs, LHH, Leman Academy of Excellence, Content With Purpose, Parker Parks and Recreation, and other organizations in Colorado and across the country.
Projects range from one focused customer story to multi-interview case studies and testimonial libraries. Rocket House can help select participants, develop interview questions, direct natural conversations, film supporting b-roll, and deliver several versions from the same production.
Interview direction
Specific stories in the customer’s own words
Questions are built around the customer’s experience, the problem they needed to solve, the way the company responded, and the results that followed. During the interview, we listen closely and ask follow-up questions that turn a general endorsement into a credible, detailed story.
Production & delivery
One production, several useful videos
A testimonial project can produce a primary customer story, individual interview edits, short cutdowns, social clips, vertical versions, and captioned files. Supporting footage of the people, product, service, or workplace gives each story visual context.
