Your work matters. We want to make sure people hear about it.
We make documentary films and monthly content for organizations doing work worth understanding.
Who you’re working with
I'm Zach. I started Honey Mustard because I kept meeting people doing extraordinary work that nobody outside their building knew about.
I came up through Rotary and I've filmed service projects in Belize, Mexico, and Kenya. A prison literacy program, schools in the jungle, driving down back roads for hours. Work where getting the story wrong would have been worse than not telling it at all.
That is where the rules came from. Listen before you script. The subject comes first. Never make a film that uses the people in it.
Latest Projects
Five years of films for nonprofits, festivals, and community organizations across BC and beyond.
Rotary's literacy program at Belize Central Prison, and the schools in the jungle
Seventy five doors. Each one is a year of mentorship for a kid who's been waiting.
People who let us tell their story
We partnered with Honey Mustard Media to produce our 75 Doors Campaign video. It was our first time running a campaign like this, and we needed help clarifying how to communicate the heart of what we were trying to accomplish.
Zach and his team helped us shape our ideas into a clear, focused story that reflected our mission and the real impact behind the campaign.
-Roslyn Henderson Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley
Honey Mustard brings clarity to how we communicate without losing sight of our mission. An essential tool in our foundation’s kit.
-Janet, president, the Langley Rotary Clubs Charitable Foundation.
Honey Mustard Media helped us communicate our work in a way that truly reflects our mission and the human impact behind it. Their work captures the care, connection, and community at the heart of what we do.
-Shannon Woykin Executive Director of Langley Meals on Wheels

Listen
Before anything gets filmed, we sit down and find the story. Who is it about, who needs to hear it, and what is the one thing they should walk away with. Most of the value in a film is decided here.
How we work
Film
We show up calm and stay out of the way. No lights in anyone's face, no scripting people into sounding like a brochure. The best moments happen when people forget the camera is there.
Put it to Work
A film that sits on a hard drive did not work. You get the main film plus the cutdowns, vertical versions, and stills you need for the campaign, the grant application, and the AGM.
Story first. Then sound. Then picture. In that order, every time.
Tell us what you’re working on
No pitch deck, no pressure. Just a conversation about what you're trying to say and whether we're the right people to help you say it.
