Our Mission
Why do we do what we do?
That's easy!
The reason we started Graduation Films is because we want every graduate to have the opportunity to have a GradDoc, or graduation documentary, of their support circles' advice and encouragement, and your senior's milestone moments — and we don't want families to break the bank to do so.
Our mission is to help parents and their future graduates move forward into the next chapter of their journey. As seniors spread their wings, we want them to also remember their roots, and know how much support is in their corner back home.
We know that there aren't many occasions that provide time and space for friends and family to give intentional heart-felt validation, encouragement, and advice — but with a GradDoc we make it very simple!

About Us
Hello, we're Chris & Crystal!
Our main company, New Shores Media, is a full production business serving local clients in Northern Indiana. When Crystal came up with the idea to offer our GradDocs (Graduation Documentaries) to more than just our local community, GraduationFilms.com was born.
Chris has been working in the documentary film world for 20 years. Creating everything from wedding videos, to producing content for CBS Sports MaxPreps, The National Guard, & St. Jude Children's Hospital.
In all we do, our approach and DNA are the same: we want to create and build media that nourishes families and communities.
We know as a family of 6 that time can be a thief, and we understand how precious capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments are. We want to share our resources and abilities with you, so families can remember and celebrate important milestones year after year.
Thank you for checking out our business!
