welcome
It’s been said, “Everyone has a book in them, but in most cases that’s where it should stay.” We disagree. It’s just that not everyone knows how to tell their own story. We’re here to help.
Pretty Human is a non-profit documentary production team dedicated to capturing true stories of human connection, perseverance, and inspiration. We think you’re pretty great, beautiful even, in your own unique way. And despite being quite good at what we do, we also retain our humanity in doing it. That’s why we named ourselves Pretty Human, because you are, and so are we.
We feel that stories must be as entertaining as they are enlightening—pretty as they are human. See some work below…
