Two people, a man and a woman, are viewing large colorful abstract paintings in an art gallery. The woman is wearing a red jacket and facing away from the camera, while the man is in a green jacket and a striped beanie, moving toward the woman.

StoryCraft Productions creates documentary-style short films and feature-length documentaries that reveal the meaning and value of human creativity.

Founded by filmmaker and ethnographer Tim Butcher, we tell stories that matter — intimate portraits of makers, designers, and artists whose work shapes how we live and see the world.

Every film is crafted with integrity and intent — films with purpose that inspire audiences to rediscover human-made work.

Documentary-style Short Films

Two customers at a coffee shop counter, engaging in conversation; one wears a green hoodie with 'Ritual Coffee' on the back, the other holds a takeout bag. The counter displays colorful coffee bags and a digital register; a large world map chart and menu are on the wall behind.

Short films that bring meaning to the life.

We collaborate with makers, artists and designers to craft short documentary-style films that capture the essence of creative work.

Each story is grounded in genuine human connection — designed to reveal not just what you make, but why it matters.

These films are ideal for online storytelling and brand campaigns seeking authenticity and emotional depth.

Our approach

Documentary Films

Long-form stories that remind us we’re human.

Our feature and mid-length documentaries explore the creative process, cultural identity and the changing value of what’s human-made.

These films are produced for festivals, broadcasters, and streaming audiences who value integrity, curiosity, and learning in storytelling.

StoryCraft’s documentaries go beyond observation — they rediscover the texture of human experience.

Our approach

Our distinctive approach: The SCOPE Method

Our films are guided by a unique methodology developed through years of ethnographic research and creative practice.

The SCOPE Method blends academic insight with documentary craft — ensuring every story is deeply understood, ethically told, and human-made.

More about this approach will be revealed with the full launch of StoryCraft Productions in 2026.
