Truth comes first
We don’t invent a talking point. We find the real part of the story and give it shape, rhythm and clarity.
About Real Story
Right-sized
structure.
Consistent
direction.
Real Story is a video operation built to turn real stories from customers, teams and leaders into films that build trust.
The structure adapts. The method stays.
Every project gets the right setup: lean production, local crews, specialist partners or remote direction — always under the same narrative and visual standard.
Real Story builds each production around the project’s needs: solo filming, local crews, specialist partners, remote direction or full production. This keeps the operation lean, the contact direct and the standard high.
For the client, the experience stays simple: one partner responsible for leading the story from brief to delivery.

Behind the operation
Thomas Knaus
Thomas Knaus is behind Real Story’s creative direction. His experience spans the full production cycle: crafting questions, directing interviews, filming, building the narrative, editing and finishing.
That end-to-end perspective makes it possible to find the story before the camera rolls, recognize it during the interview and make it work in the final film.
How we work
Human in the story. Precise in the execution.
Right-sized structure
Every project gets the right setup: lean production, local crews, specialist partners or remote direction.
One consistent standard
The structure may change. The care with interviews, narrative, images and delivery does not.
