Destination Partnership

Your destination, a Local Time Volume.

Each Volume includes Local Time episodes, marketing-ready cutdowns, and a curated library of video moments and photos — built around people and places that define your destination.

What the partner brings

Open the door. We do the listening.

The destination partner is our guide to what's real here — the people, the rooms, the rituals, the friction. We arrive ready to listen, to see, and to translate what the place already is into film that travels.

01

The soul of the place

What the destination believes about itself, and what makes it unlike anywhere else.

  • ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES
  • DESTINATION OR BRAND PILLARS
  • CULTURAL CONTEXT
02

The people worth meeting

The makers, keepers, and characters who carry the place. The audience listening for it.

  • COMMUNITY RECOMMENDATIONS
  • POTENTIAL SUBJECTS
  • AUDIENCE INSIGHTS
03

The doors you can open

Locations and access we couldn't get to on our own. Logistics that make the shoot possible.

  • LOCATION IDEAS
  • LOGISTICAL SUPPORT
  • FILMING ACCESS GUIDANCE

Process & Delivery

From discovery to final cut.

The arc of a Local Time Volume, gathered into the three phases any production runs on.

Phase 014–6 weeks

Pre-Production

Listen, scout, and plan.

  1. Step 01

    Input & Discovery

    We collect context: values, pillars, communities, subjects, and logistical realities of the destination.

  2. Step 02

    Scouting & Story Selection

    Local Time identifies stories worth telling, scouts locations, and pressure-tests the shoot against what the place can actually offer.

  3. Step 03

    Scheduling & Coordination

    Shoot dates are locked against subject and location availability, then access, releases, travel, and on-the-ground logistics are confirmed with the partner.

Phase 022 days scouting + 2–3 day shoot

Production

Capture the place on the ground.

  1. Step 04

    Principal Photography

    A documentary-style crew captures footage, sync audio, and stills across the agreed production window.

Phase 036–10 weeks

Post-Production

Shape the story and curate the library.

  1. Step 05

    Editorial Development

    Stories are shaped in the edit. Partner Cuts are scoped from the same material for marketing use.

  2. Step 06

    Color, Sound & Finishing

    Picture is graded, audio is mixed, and master files are conformed for the platforms each cut is built for.

  3. Step 07

    Story Kit Curation & Delivery

    Moments and photo selects are curated into a flexible, platform-ready library, then delivered digitally through cloud transfer.

Total Timeline

~12–18 weeks — kickoff to final delivery.

Final assets are delivered digitally through cloud transfer.

Add-Ons

Where partnerships often go further.

Some destinations want more Partner Cuts for a longer campaign arc. Some want a second shoot in another season. Some want us to follow a moment — a festival, an opening, an event — and bring back something for the archive.

  • Extra Partner Cuts
  • Additional shoot days
  • Event coverage
  • Behind-the-scenes
  • Localization
  • Custom campaign edits

Add-ons are scoped per partnership.

Bring Local Time to your destination.

Each Volume begins with a conversation. If your destination has people, places, or rituals worth a closer look, we would like to hear about it.
