Catalyst Northwest
Shawn Mitchell wondered whether professional films were worth the cost. Today, Catalyst uses them to support fundraising and invite people into its work.

Selected Work
Every project begins with a mission worth sharing. Here are a few stories we've helped bring to life.
Westside Community Church · Mission Film
A mission film calling a congregation into a decisive season, built around the people already doing the work and what becomes possible if the church moves now.
Alive Church · Mission Film
A mission film for a growing multi-site church stepping into a bold new season, designed to rally the congregation around a shared calling.
Braking Cycles · Campaign Film
The flagship campaign film for Braking Cycles, formerly Transitional Youth, revealing the urgent need and dedicated response of a nonprofit serving youth in transition.
Who We Serve
We work with faith-based teams who want to tell their story with care and excellence.
Films forchurches, ministries, nonprofits, schools, missions, and leaders
Clear stories people can understand and share.
Your people give when they see the mission lived out. We help you show it with a clear story your church can understand and share.
Best fit: Essentials Mission Film or Mission Partnership.
Donors give when they see the impact. We help them see where their gift goes and why it matters.

Our Process
We don't just show up with cameras. We walk alongside your team from the first conversation to launch day.
Story before shoot day
We help clarify the message, shape the interviews, plan the emotional arc, and protect the people whose stories are being told.
Story & goals
We listen to your vision, clarify the call to action, and map who needs to be in the story.
Creative brief & story arc
Before we shoot, you get a real creative brief. We map the story arc, plan the interviews, and build the shot list. Most video teams rush past this part. We do not, and it is why our films land.
Film & edit
We direct, film, and edit, then send a rough cut and revise until you love it.
Rollout support
You get final files plus a launch guide with placement, email prompts, and social captions.
Vision That Travels
A strong film takes what is clear in your heart and gives your whole team the same words, the same proof, and a story they can carry anywhere.
That is why we interview more than one person. It builds trust and helps the mission multiply beyond one voice.
Mission Film
From one voice to shared language
Leader
The vision is clear in your head.
Team
Your people can say it too.
World
The story can travel without you in the room.
Clear words. Real proof. A mission people can share.

Our Team
We're a tight-knit crew of creatives who happen to love the local church. Every project gets a dedicated team, not a rotating cast of freelancers. Your story is handled with care from the first call to the final cut.
From the first discovery call to launch day, we stay in your corner with Monday Milestones updates and a process designed for busy ministry teams.
