You see the life-changing impact every day. Why don't your donors?

Inside your organization, the urgency is real and the stakes are clear.

But outside?

They support you, but they aren't inspired. They give, but they don't come back fired up.

The problem isn't your mission: It's the translation.

You need to make the magic inside your walls impossible for the outside world to ignore.

That’s where I come in

Hi, I’m Josh Gold, founder of Serio Films.

In my 20 years working with nonprofits, I've seen this painful pattern over and over: Organizations with incredible stories often struggle to tell them.

At Serio Films, we uncover the emotional core of your mission—that feeling that keeps you going—and we bottle it.

I’ll help you stop explaining and start inspiring!

See what happens when the message lands

  • "This video moved donor after donor to an increased level of giving – and even after the campaign ended, we kept sharing it… and gifts kept coming in."

  • “No brochure we ever made – no soundbite I ever used in a speech – ever conveyed that personality. The video did. This tells our story.”

  • “Our board was literally moved to tears. They felt a level of gratification and satisfaction for their work that they haven’t felt in years.”

  • “I’ve been in education for almost 20 years, and I’ve never gotten the response to any promotional piece the way we did to this video.”

  • "I watched people see the video for the first time – and by the second verse, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.”

  • “This video has been sent to boards and other institutions – and they’ve said, ‘We need to do something like this.’ It made a real impact.”

  • “Wherever I go throughout the Jewish world, people stop me to say they’ve watched these videos – thanking me, and telling me how inspired they felt.”

  • “Sometimes when I wonder if what we’re doing is worth it, I rewatch the video Josh from Serio Films produced – and it reminds me we’re changing lives.”

  • A video that helped double a donor’s gift – unlocking nearly $500K and doubling program capacity.

  • A breakout webseries – 25K average views per episode, with 80% watching 80%+.

  • Alumni giving unlocked – $600K raised from a previously inactive alumni base.

  • A 4-year partnership that drove growth – +52% in giving and +37.5% in enrollment.

My Philosophy

  1. A holistic approach to video

I believe that video works best when it’s part of a cohesive system, designed to further the goals of your organization. So, what are your goals? How does your current video fit into that plan? Where will it be used, and why? I make sure everything we do together is mission-aligned.

2. Marketing know-how built in

It’s no longer enough to produce a video with breathtaking imagery and high production values. My videos meet your audience where they’re at and direct them toward a shared future you both believe in.

3. A plan that will save you time, money, and stress.

Video production is such a complicated process, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds. I emphasize the importance of planning to keep you on track with your marketing goals, catch potential issues in advance, and have a backup plan ready for components that are out of our control.

Video without a plan is a shot in the dark, a high-risk gamble. Bring strategy to your next project and experience the difference!
