At AugustStar Films we produce custom videos with the imagination and flair that your project deserves.  We've been in business for over twenty years and know that every great film starts with great writing.  Just say "No" to boring "talking head" videos!

We specialize in two area: 4-15 minute videos for corporations and nonprofit organizations (DVDs or websites), and 2-30 minute personal or family biographies, similar in style to the A&E Biography TV series.  (Be sure and check out our sample videos!)

We're located in the Chicago suburbs, but we've had clients from all over the United States.  If you're looking for a promotional or team-building video with the type of professional narration, music, and effects that you see on TV, you want a company that specializes in script-based films -- not a company that does weddings or graduations.

The AugustStar Films Biographies are unique.  No matter how much money someone has, they cannot walk into a store and buy one of these off the shelf.  They're perfect for someone who's retiring, a special birthday, to tell a family member how much you love them while they're still alive, as a way for  future generations to know someone who has passed away, or as an overall history of your family.  They're also great for honoring a key employee or client at an organizational meeting or event.

These biographies are full fledged productions, very similar to the popular TV show, and they'll be passed down from generation to generation.  An AugustStar Films Biography makes an impression that simply cannot be matched in any other way. 

Our mini-biographies are closely related to the full productions but run just 2 or 4 minutes and use only still photographs.  They are the same high quality, with a professional scriptwriter and a professional narrator, but on a smaller scale.  These video mini-biographies are perfect as a dynamic addition to your website, for organizations to describe their history, products, or goals, as an introduction to speeches or live events, for birthday or holiday presents, anniversaries, funeral/memorial services, or for any special occasion.

If you're looking for more information about any of our products please call  (847) 909-3501 or head to the Contact page.  And thanks for visiting!
