Featured dishes & drinks: how they're made
The chef's new plate or the bartender's signature pour, filmed from prep to finished glass — a peek into what's on the menu and why it's there.
Your Club's Reel
An eight-to-ten minute show about your community.
Scripted in advance, read from a teleprompter by a host your community chooses, and filmed on site — the clubhouse, the courts, the patio, the event.
What it actually is
Built to be watched, not skimmed.
A friendly on-camera host from your community walks your residents through what happened this month: the spotlights, the events, the small moments people talk about at the mailbox. Then a look ahead at what's coming up on the calendar.
We write the script in advance, get it approved by you, then coach whoever you put in front of the camera so they sound natural and confident.
Resident & member spotlights
Short, warm interviews with the people who make the place feel like home.
Event highlights
The pickleball tournament, the wine night, the holiday market — built from the photos and clips your own people send in.
A look ahead
Next month's calendar, presented like a trailer instead of a spreadsheet.
Shot on site, on location
The clubhouse, the courts, the patio, the event — filmed where it actually happens, in your community. No studio, no soundstage, just your place looking like itself.
Who's on camera is your call
Staff, ambassadors, your lifestyle director, or homeowners and members — whoever your community wants. The host can even change month to month.

Teleprompter-ready. Every script is written ahead of time and delivered on a teleprompter, so a first-timer can read it as smoothly as someone who's done it a dozen times.
A sample rundown
What one episode actually looks like.
Every month is different, but the shape stays familiar — residents know what they're settling in for. Here's the rough outline of a typical eight-to-ten minute episode. Your script is written fresh each month from your calendar and your stories, and you approve it before a single frame is shot.
0:00Cold open & welcome
A quick moment from the month — a laugh at the wine night, the winning point — then the host welcomes everyone from somewhere on site.
0:45This month's highlight
The signature event of the month, assembled from the photos and clips your team sent in plus whatever was filmed on shoot day: the tournament, the holiday market, the concert on the lawn.
2:30Resident or member spotlight
A short, warm interview with someone in the community — who they are, what they love here, and a story worth hearing.
4:15Optional feature
If the community wants one that month — the chef's new dish, a quick tip from the golf pro, a place worth going. Or skip it entirely.
6:00The month in moments
A quick-cut montage of everything else, mostly from residents' own phones: club meetings, fitness classes, birthdays, the small stuff people talk about at the mailbox.
7:30A look ahead
Next month's calendar, presented like a trailer — dates, sign-ups, and the one thing nobody should miss.
9:00Sign-off
The host wraps up, points residents to the calendar or the front desk, and closes on one last moment from the month.
This is a shape, not a straitjacket — a quiet month might lean on spotlights, a busy month might stack events back to back. The rundown flexes to fit your community.
Who captures the month
One shoot day a month. Your people cover the rest.
We're not at every event — nobody could be. We film one shoot day a month: the host, the interviews, and the feature you've picked. The rest of the show comes from the people who were already there — staff, club officers, volunteers, members and homeowners who take photos and clips on a phone while the thing is happening.
- On shoot day
We film the show
The host, the resident interviews, and the feature you've picked that month — lit, miked, and shot properly on site.
- All month long
Your people capture the rest
Staff, club officers, volunteers, members and homeowners send photos and clips from the events already happening. They're in the room; a phone is all it takes.
- In the edit
We assemble it all
Everything lands in one place, gets sorted and matched so phone clips sit naturally next to the pro footage, then cuts into the finished eight-to-ten minute episode.
What to send — it's not much
- Photos and short clips from a phone are perfect. No gear, no experience needed.
- 10–20 seconds per clip: a wide shot of the room, then something close.
- Turn the phone sideways and hold it steady while you've got it.
- Send a name or two with each one so people are captioned correctly.
- A handful is plenty — ten photos and three clips covers most events.
- Anything someone would rather keep off camera, just say so and it stays out.
Want a camera at a big one? We can attend a specific event as an add-on — a production fee based on hours on site. Book it for the month you want it, not as a standing retainer.
One folder is the whole system. A shared album, a drive folder, or a group text — whatever your team already uses. We sort it, steady it, match the look, and cut it into the show.
Beyond the recap
A few ideas for what a month can include.
Alongside the events and the calendar, some communities like to add a recurring feature — the kind of segment residents screenshot and send to a neighbor. These are suggestions, not a package: borrow one, change it up, or leave them all out.
Quick golf & pickleball tips
A short lesson from the pro or a strong player — a chipping drill, a dink exchange, a putting fix — brief enough to replay and actually use.
Places to go this month
A quick rundown of where to be and when — what's on the calendar, plus the spots and outings worth leaving the house for.
None of this is required. Every video carries your events and your calendar. Everything above is optional — pick one, pick none, or bring your own idea and we'll write and film it.
Nothing has to happen inside the gates, either. When a community does want an extra feature, it can be the bistro down the road, a show at a nearby theatre, a trailhead, or a local cause worth turning out for.
