Meet Stephen
The person behind the camera.
I'm Stephen Simmang, and I make cinematic video for businesses that want to be chosen and people who want to be hired. Before starting Parachute Stories, I helped grow a leading functional wellness practice, where content was central to building the brand.
More about meWhy Video
People choose who they trust.
No matter what kind of business you are, people decide who to work with based on things a page can't carry: your face, your voice, whether you seem calm and sure of what you're saying. They pick up on it in seconds, usually without realizing it.
Most websites ask people to read. Video lets them meet you.
