Parallel 40 is a small production studio making brand films, documentaries, recruitment campaigns, and social content for charter schools, education organizations, and mission-built brands that deserve better than stock footage and stakeholder-speak.
The dossier — selected field work.
What we make.
Brand Films
2–4 minute cinematic films that define who you are. Built for websites, enrollment nights, funder meetings, and the kind of first impression that doesn't need a second try.
Stories & Documentaries
Student and teacher profiles. Mission-driven short docs. Episodic series. The pieces that make your audience lean in and stay there.
Recruitment Campaigns
Multi-platform campaigns engineered for enrollment. Hero film plus vertical cutdowns, paid-ready social assets, and the strategy to put them in front of the right families.
Social & Content
Ongoing content engines for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Monthly packages built so your feed actually looks like something a real organization is running.
Explainer Videos
Training content, program walkthroughs, and animated explainers. Built for schools that need to explain something complicated in ninety seconds or less.
Cinematic Capture
Cinema-grade production on every shoot — lens choice, lighting, sound, and color built into the film rather than fixed in post. Aerial work brought in project-by-project when the story genuinely calls for it.
In their own words.
It's a pleasure to work with Jeremy. His fantastic attitude and creativity bring out the best in anyone. We worked with Jeremy to make a video about our dual language academy. I've had multiple families say that the video was a deciding factor for them when considering school options. They chose us. Thanks Jeremy — we look forward to working with you again soon.
Parallel 40 Productions has gone above and beyond my expectation by producing a video that makes it easy for our customers to choose our program for their students. As an online educator, video speaks volumes — and Jeremy knocked it out of the park.
The tools we bring to every shoot.
We build the work from a fixed set of beliefs.
Every decision — from which story to tell, to how long a cut should breathe, to whether a client is the right fit — passes through this filter first.
