More About Five Minute Movie
Movie Providers
Each five-minute movie will stream with a nominal fee to the provider, either paid one-time or monthly. Handcraft Film and Five Minute Movie reserve the right to reduce the fee or in some cases waive the streaming fee outright, at our discretion. Rates are not yet determined and will be finalized once our streaming and bandwidth costs are finalized.
For now there is NO STREAMING FEE to any provider.
This fee helps us offset the cost of adding them to the channel, and our increased cost of bandwidth on the various streaming channels. We will also offer discounted rates depending on the number of movies supplied. Contact us for more information on submitting your film(s).
We will offer FREE streaming to the first ten (10) film movie providers on our platform.
Contact us to upload your video or film to our platform. We reserve the right to accept or refuse any video.
Five Minute Movie Project Retainer
We offer production for a Five Minute Movie project, not to exceed five minutes in length. We quote a price depending on many variables such as footage sources, photography, scriptwriting and other factors. We charge a retainer/deposit of $500 Cdn. NOTE: THE RETAINER IS NOT THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE FILM cost. Here are the payment terms.
A $500 Cdn retainer forms the deposit to commence interviews, storyboarding, and filming.
25% of the agreed-upon amount when we provide the proof script of that project.
25% of the agreed-upon amount, when proof of filming has taken place with client approval of content, before editing.
Balance of the agreed-upon amount, less retainer, when the film or TV show has completed final editing and is sent to you to view, and approved, prior to upload to YouTube. The payment is non-refundable.

She Is Your Neighbor: A Short Documentary About Domestic Abuse
My name is Colette Martin. I am the mom of three beautiful grown boys. Despite my journey with PTSD, I am passionate about helping others. I've built a community within a short time to raise awareness and educate others on intimate partner violence, MMIW. Bill 17 was passed in the New Brunswick legislature in my honour in Dec, 2022. I did not allow my trauma to be my ending: I turned my pain into passion and power so that others do not suffer the same long recovery journey I endured. In July of 2023 I was part of a short documentary filmed in Waterloo Ontario, called, "She Is Your Neighbour: A Short Documentary."

This video will be updated with new information about texting and distracted driving, how to communicate with teens on the importance of safe driving, how new drug laws impact teen driving, as well as in-depth interviews of survivors of accidents and the lessons learned. Vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death in young people worldwide. See the initial video. https://youtu.be/DOsLqckou64

First Born! The History of Indigenous People
Speed Kills! Teenage Driver Safety
A two-minute PSA for the BC Food Banks to raise awareness of the importance of supporting our food banks.
Many single mothers and fathers struggle to put enough food on the table for their children.

First Born! The History of Indigenous People
First Born! The History of Indigenous People
First Born! The History of Indigenous People
This short video shows the history of how Indigenous people were removed from their land, put into non-traditional homes, and often not allowed to return to their own land. They now pass on those stories from one generation to another. Remember, we are ALL immigrants unless we were born Indigenous. This native issues video recognizes the fact we are all immigrants, unless we or our ancestors, were born here! Many thousands of Indigenous children were removed from their homes and forced to attend residential schools across Canada, the US, and other countries. Many died and were victims of abuse during their short lives.
Help LGBTQ Refugees in Kakuma Camp in Kenya
First Born! The History of Indigenous People
First Born! The History of Indigenous People
Many people fleeing Uganda are short of food and being persecuted for their sexual identity choices.
A group of strong LGBTQI refugees at Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Camp are longing for a positive outlook. After fleeing unspeakable persecution back home, these people now have to contend with surviving in a place where resources are limited and discrimination still exists.
Thousands of refugees call Kakuma Refugee Camp home, but LGBTQI people there frequently face particular difficulties. Many are denied access to essential services, shunned by larger refugee populations, and constantly afraid of violence. Many LGBTQI refugees at Kakuma struggle to obtain even the most basic necessities: food, clothing, wholesome meals to provide them the energy they need to continue fighting for a brighter future, blankets and warm clothes to fight off the chilly camp nights materials for personal hygiene to help them stay healthy and dignified events held in the community to provide happy, unifying, and belonging moments during a time of love. Every donation, regardless of size, gives individuals who have been marginalized and abandoned another ray of hope.
