StoryChef Media is an Austin video production company building strategy-first video for founders, operators, and mission-driven leaders.

Most video projects fail before the camera turns on — not because the cinematography is wrong, but because the strategic frame never existed. We solve that. Every project starts with a Storyfinding session that answers four questions before the shoot: what business decision the video has to influence, who exactly is watching, what action they should take, and how we'll measure whether it worked at 90 days.

╴ What we work on
• MedTech & biotech fundraising video — investor-facing narrative film, equity-crowdfunding compliance navigation
• Tech recruitment video systems — hiring funnel acceleration for fast-scaling SaaS, marketplaces, and AI
• Manufacturing brand and recruitment video — Texas manufacturers competing for talent, contracts, and capital
• Capital-campaign and donor films — nonprofits, mission-driven orgs, first-responder recruitment
• White-label agency partnership — for creative, PR, and full-service agencies without an in-house video team

╴ How we work
Engagements range from $7,500 to $150,000. Every project ships with a 90-day post-launch ROI review tied to a named business outcome — application rate lift, time-to-fill, capital raised, donor acquisition cost, pipeline movement.

╴ Selected outcomes
• Future Cardia — fundraising film used across equity-crowdfunding campaigns that raised $13.76M
• OpCity — three-film recruiting series; company later acquired by Realtor.com
• Pease Park Conservancy — capital-campaign anchor film, donor program

Led by founder James Headrick. Based in Austin, Texas. Available across Texas and the U.S.
