client work.
In addition to our independent documentary work, we also put to use the same artistic and technical storytelling skills and experience on behalf of nonprofits, businesses, and individuals that are working to make the world a better place.
We partner with our clients to create vibrant, moving videos to inform their audiences, highlight their unique stories, and encourage action. FPP works with an experienced and talented group of cinematographers, graphic designers and composers to harness the power of multi-media in the creation of the video story you want told. Our clients include a long list of organizations and individuals engaged in work aimed at improving the communities they serve.
We specialize in short stories for web, social media, special events including fundraisers and beyond. We also welcome long format/documentary commissions.

Paul Thissen,
Minnesota Gubernatorial Candidate
“Norah Shapiro and Flying Pieces Productions did an amazing job capturing and telling the personal story behind the campaign noise. She is perceptive, responsive, patient and made sure we remained true to my overall vision for the film while adding incredible insight and expertise to the final product. I couldn’t be more happy with Norah and her team.”
Paul ThissenJillia Pessenda,
Minneapolis, Ward 1 City Council Candidate
“I met Norah Shapiro when I was working on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign and she was filming the documentary “Time for Ilhan.” I was impressed by the professionalism of Norah and her crew. When I was kicking off my own campaign for Minneapolis City Council, I knew Norah was the person to capture the energy of that moment and she did just that in the short video she created. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

Norah created a very compelling video for our funders. She interviewed Legal Aid staff, Whittier Clinic staff and a patient who became Legal Aid client. With each interview, she asked compelling questions, captured the authentic story and made our work understandable. She was very professional, easy to work with, flexible and efficient.

Norah did a brilliant job of capturing intertwining human stories. She was tireless about being present for key events and moments, asking incisive questions and maintaining great respect for the young people who were the subjects of the film. She was able to distill countless hours of footage to weave a clear and compelling story that has brought a lot of attention to the program. She brings a unique background I public service and non-profit leadership to her video artistry. I would highly recommend her services.
