You've already done the work. You've built the thing. A business. A practice. A body of work. A point of view. Something that took years to become what it is. And maybe the way it looks online hasn’t quite caught up.

You've already done the work. You've built the thing. A business. A practice. A body of work. A point of view. Something that took years to become what it is. And maybe the way it looks online hasn’t quite caught up.

That’s usually where I come in.


I make films for people who care deeply about what they’re making — and care how it feels when someone else sees it.


Not more content for the sake of content.


Something considered.

Something human.

Something that actually feels like you.

Selected Works

To be honest, I hate making content. But I love making art.

James Mccrae – Words Are Vibrations

James, the poet behind the most shared poem of the decade, "Instructions Before Visiting Earth," approached me to tell the story of his relationship to writing, life, and the creative process.

Luna Battalia – Founder Film

Luna Battalia has been a leader in the business space for over a decade. She approached me to create a film that shares her humanity with her audience – so they can feel her alongside them on the journey.

Madelyn Moon – Retreat Launch

Madelyn Moon is a leader in somatic facilitation and feminine expression. This film was the centerpiece to launch her annual retreat, Unbound. It generated over 1,000 leads, resulting in the largest retreat she's ever held.

"The best video anyone's ever made me."

Creative development

Interview / scripting support as needed

One production day

The Launch

Campaign

When there’s more than one story worth telling.

Some projects need more room.


Maybe you’re launching something. Reintroducing your work. Building a new site. Documenting a body of work. Or you simply want enough great material to stop feeding the internet whatever happened to be on your camera roll.


We build the production around what’s worth capturing.

Every campaign is scoped around the launch. Larger engagements may include:

A hero film

Short films

Founder or artist interviews

Client / participant stories

Trailers

Short-form edits

A library of beautiful footage to keep using

Every project is different. That's kind of the point.

Projects start at $9,500

02–

A single, beautifully-crafted film with a real job to do. An "about us" hero that makes people trust you. An origin story that explains why you exist. A launch piece that gets the right people to reach out. We spend a day together on camera, and then I disappear into the edit until it's finished. You end with one film that could only be about you, and that keeps working long after it's finished.

Includes:

Planning conversation and concept

Scripting as needed

On-camera / presence coaching

One-day shoot

One story-driven film

Two rounds of revisions

Investment shared at inquiry

Case Study

The launch story behind 1,000+ leads and $70k+ in sales.

The launch story behind 1,000+ leads and $70k+ in sales.

Madelyn Moon is a creator, longtime collaborator, and my partner.


For one of her launches, we made a film we wanted people to watch — not just a piece of content designed to sell something.


It became her highest-converting post of the year, generating more than 1,000 leads and $70k+ in sales.

“I've worked with a lot of videographers. I'm incredibly picky. What Albert creates is second to none. And his approach is unique. He asks different questions, and treats creative decisions with a kind of attention that maintains the artistic integrity of the film while at once keeping conversions in mind. The film we made generated over 1,000 leads for my retreat, resulting in more than $70,000 in sales. Albert understood what my audience needed to see in a way I couldn't have articulated myself.”

About Albert Strasser

I make films for people whose work is better experienced than explained.

I make films for people whose work is better experienced than explained.

I’m a filmmaker, director, and editor in Austin, Texas.

Most of the people I work with are really, really good at what they do. The hard part isn’t usually explaining it. It’s getting the feeling of the thing across.

Like — what is it actually like to be in the room with you? Why do your clients trust you? What happens when the work is working?

That’s the stuff I’m interested in.

I ask a lot of questions, spend a lot of time looking for the story underneath the obvious story, shoot it as honestly and beautifully as I can, and then obsess over it in the edit until it feels right.

I’m not really interested in making more content just because the internet wants more content.

I want to make the thing that makes someone go:

Oh. I get it now.

BTW, you don’t need to know what the film is yet.

In a world full of noise, attention is our most precious currency. The films I create are not designed to capture attention. They are crafted to court it.

Most people come to me with a moment, an idea, or a feeling that something is worth capturing.

That’s enough.

We’ll talk about your work, what matters to you, and what you want people to understand or feel.

Then we’ll figure out what’s worth making.
