Love Local series logo for storytelling work with local businesses.

LOVE LOCAL - A story-driven series created by Encima Media to showcase the businesses that make our communities thrive. Through cinematic videography, content creation, and storytelling, we go beyond the storefront to reveal the passion, dedication, and hard work behind local entrepreneurs.

Each episode focuses on authentic storytelling and compelling video production, capturing their journeys, challenges, and triumphs. By sharing these narratives, we aim to inspire, strengthen community pride, and highlight the importance of supporting local businesses.

Storytime from our founder:

Work had been slow, and I could feel the weight on the team, everyone was going through it in their own way. I ended up at a local coffee shop, just trying to clear my head and think through how we could turn things around. I got into a conversation with the owner, and as he opened up about his own challenges, it hit me...so many small business owners are out here doing everything they can, but they don't always have the tools to tell their story.

On the walk back to the studio, Matcha in hand, the idea hit me like lightning. I kept thinking: "how we could help?" Once I got back, I started jotting down ideas on the whiteboard, and two words kept jumping out: love and local
That’s what this is about, creating content for businesses with heart, the ones with stories to tell but no real way to share them.

So here’s the plan: we offer to tell those stories in a cinematic way. No catch. No charge. 

Just us doing what we do best to give back to the community.
