Prepared for Satellite Industries

A proposal prepared for Satellite Industries

Telling the story
of dignity.

Satellite Industries has been built on a simple belief since 1958 — that every person deserves access to basic dignity. The WorkWell Washroom is the latest expression of that belief. We want to help you tell that story on film.

Our belief

Why we do this.

Most organizations in this space are sitting on stories they have never told. Not because the stories don't exist. Because nobody stopped long enough to capture them.

We started Kahani because we believe the most powerful thing a purpose-led organization can do is show a single human life that's different because of the work they do. No mission statement does that. A film can.

E4E Relief
Org Reel
E4E Relief

A film that weaves together the voices of an organization, their corporate partners, and the people who received help — showing what a chain of support looks like at the human level.

Post Polio
Community Story
Post Polio

A film about resilience, community, and the quiet determination of people living with a condition the world has largely forgotten. One story that changes how you see the work.

Benevity
Brand Film
Benevity

A brand film built around real voices instead of talking points. The kind of piece that lives on a homepage and does more for a sales conversation than any deck.

What we've heard

Why this film matters now.

Built on dignity since 1958

When Al Hilde Jr. founded Satellite Industries, he did it from a simple belief: that portable sanitation was a matter of basic human dignity. He had seen adequate facilities missing at Army postings, construction sites, and sporting events. That founding belief has not changed. As portable sanitation continues to evolve around the world, Satellite's vision remains the same — to provide restrooms that offer convenience, privacy, and dignity to every person who needs them.

The WorkWell Washroom

The collaboration with Holly Johnston, Egal, and Sanipod on the WorkWell Washroom pilot is a direct expression of that founding vision. It is Satellite asking the same question Al Hilde asked in 1958: who is being left out, and what can we build for them? Legislation is changing. Workplaces are being held to a higher standard. This film positions Satellite as the company that saw that coming — and built the answer.

What we can make together

A film for WorkWell.

A Community Story built around the real people behind the WorkWell Washroom pilot — the workers who needed it, the collaborators who built it, and the founding vision that made it possible.

Community Story

The Story of WorkWell

A 3 to 5 minute documentary that follows the WorkWell Washroom from idea to reality. This is a film about what happens when a company stops and asks who is being left out. It centres the people on job sites and in trades workplaces who have gone without adequate facilities — and shows what Satellite, Holly Johnston, Egal, and Sanipod built to change that.

This film works as a sales tool, a brand asset, and a public statement about the kind of company Satellite is. It can live on your website, run in trade show presentations, and travel with your sales team to every conversation about WorkWell.

How we work

The Kahani process.

The Listening Journey

Before any camera rolls, we have conversations. With your team and the people at the centre of the story. Not scripted interviews. Real conversations. That becomes the creative brief for everything that follows.

Trust before cameras

Everyone who appears in a Kahani film has been in conversation with us first. They know what we are making and they want to be part of it. That shows up on screen in a way you cannot fake.

One shoot, many assets

Every production is planned from the start to produce content across multiple formats. The full asset library is mapped before we film so nothing ends up unused.

You own everything

All raw files, licensed materials, and source assets are yours. Full handoff at the close of every project.
