Documentaries & Brand Impact Videos in Kisumu
Kisumu is a full field production — lakeside, roughly a day of travel from Nairobi, and worth planning properly. It is where a lot of health, water, fisheries and development storytelling happens, and those stories usually need time on the ground rather than a single shoot day.
What's different about producing in Kisumu
The realistic unit here is a multi-day trip, not a day rate. We plan Kisumu as a block: travel, two or three filming days, and enough contingency for weather off the lake, which changes faster than crews expect.
Getting there, and getting it done
We travel crew and kit as a self-sufficient unit with backup batteries, media and power, because resupply is not an option mid-shoot. Where a programme has several western-Kenya sites, we combine them into one trip.
What's included
- Micro-documentaries (2–5 min)
- Full-length documentaries
- Corporate promos & brand stories
- Multi-county production logistics
- Drone / aerial cinematography
- Cinematic ground rigs

Kisumu Questions
What does a Kisumu production cost compared with Nairobi?
Expect travel, accommodation and per-diems on top of production. The most effective way to control this is to film several stories in one trip rather than mobilising twice.
Can you live stream an event in Kisumu?
Yes. We bring our own bonded connectivity rather than relying on a venue connection, which is the part most often underestimated outside Nairobi.
How long does a documentary take to produce?
A micro-documentary typically runs 3–5 weeks from brief to delivery. Full-length films depend on scope and travel — we scope the schedule during discovery.
Can you film outside Nairobi?
Yes. We regularly run multi-county productions across Kiambu, Machakos, Kisumu and Siaya, and we handle the travel and logistics end to end.
