DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING / CALIFORNIA
Documentary Film Production in California
The strongest documentaries do more than explain a subject. They reveal the people, stakes, and moments that make an audience care. Integrity Media Corp develops and produces documentary storytelling for subjects that deserve thoughtful, visually compelling treatment.
Founded by director and producer Erich Meltvedt, Integrity Media brings documentary experience together with the disciplined planning and visual craft of commercial filmmaking.
WHAT SETS OUR PRODUCTION APPROACH APART
STORY DISCOVERY
Listen and research before choosing the narrative.
HUMAN PERSPECTIVE
Authentic interviews and observational footage.
THOUGHTFUL EDITING
Shape real stories with care and intention.
Real people. Meaningful stories.
Documentary production requires research, trust, careful interviewing, and the ability to adapt when real life doesn’t follow a script. We approach each story by listening first, identifying its central questions, and creating a production plan that respects the people involved.
Our documentary experience
Our work includes Living with the Odds, a documentary centered on Paul Bayne and the experiences of people confronting glioblastoma. The film reflects our interest in intimate interviews, resilience, and stories of human significance.

Documentary storytelling for organizations

How we begin
We start with a conversation about the subject, available access, intended audience, filming locations, project scope, and how the film will be shared. That helps us determine the right development and production plan.
Documentary production for organizations
For corporate, nonprofit, and mission-driven documentary assignments, we understand that sensitive subjects and internal approval processes can require additional care. Integrity Media is willing to review suitable NDAs and corporate vendor agreements, has experience with large-company procurement, maintains at least $1 million in general liability insurance, and can arrange production crews outside California when project requirements call for it. Specific arrangements are confirmed in advance.
