About Us

Stories that feel honest and human have always been at the center of A Manner of Speaking. The work is about listening closely, asking good questions, and building the right team to bring a story to life on screen.

Over the past two decades, we've helped organizations in finance, emerging tech, lifestyle, humanitarian efforts, and healthcare turn complicated realities into clear, grounded stories. From early strategy through production, edit, and delivery, each project is treated as a partnership, not just a production.

The team’s background spans Emmy-nominated television, national commercial campaigns, and documentary-style pieces for clients such as Microsoft, GitHub, Gentiva, Amgen, PATH, and Sur La Table. Whether the work is a broadcast series, a brand film, or a short documentary, the goal is the same: find the human core and let that lead.

​

​Alongside client work, members of our team continue to pursue films that come from genuine curiosity about how people live and work. That includes feature documentaries like Floored, a look at the fast-disappearing world of open outcry floor trading, which has been featured in outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, Businessweek, and NPR’s Marketplace.
