WHO WE ARE.
Creating an excellent production is like throwing a good party.
Plan thoroughly, be prepared, invite the right people to inspiring places,
and give some parameters but not too many. Then, let the natural interaction unfold.
This is how we approach production. We hire teams that love to work together, and we let them do their thing without micromanaging. In our experience, productions
with this attitude are most likely to make magic.

MEET LIZZIE COSTELLO
Founder & Creative Director
I started my career working for large public relations firms in Chicago. When I realized I wanted to do more of the storytelling, I moved to Denver for a job writing patient stories at Children’s Hospital Colorado. It was inspiring to meet families and kids who’d overcome extraordinary odds. It was a privilege to write their stories of survival. For nine years, I told hundreds of stories that humbled me, motivated me, and connected me to others in the most human ways. Eventually, I started telling these stories in video form and created the video team at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which flourishes to this day.
When I felt the pull of telling stories outside of healthcare, I started Costello Productions, a company I named to honor my dad. He died in 2016 but left his legacy of changing lives by connecting with everyday people and advocating for positive community change.
I get my energy from dissecting characters, finding their innate truth, and materializing a story that connects them to each of us. I create straightforward narratives that reflect who my clients are and how we can feel connected because of them. I welcome the chance to talk to potential clients and explore how a documentary film or corporate video can help them reach their audiences and achieve their goals.
