Legal Storytelling

You know your subject.
We know how to get the story out of you.

Egg and Toast Media helps attorneys communicate their expertise and tell important human stories through thoughtful, interview-driven video.  No scripts to memorize.  No awkward talking-head commercials.  Just good questions, real conversations, and experienced storytelling.

Two Ways We Work With Attorneys

Attorney Authority

Turn what you know into video people actually watch.

 
You already know what you’re talking about. The challenge is turning that expertise into compelling video without making you write scripts or become a content creator.
 
That’s where we come in. We sit down and interview you about the subjects you know best – the same way we’d interview an expert for a television program.
One conversation can become polished YouTube programs and short-form videos for LinkedIn and social media, building a useful library of content around you and your firm’s expertise.
 
  • Professionally produced on-camera interviews
  • Long-form YouTube videos
    Vertical social and YouTube Shorts
  • Professional editing, captions and graphics
  • Thumbnails, titles and descriptions
  • Ongoing topic development
  • Attorney review before publication

Mitigation Films

Help the court see the person, not just the case.

A sentencing memorandum can describe a client’s life. A film can let the people who know that life tell the story themselves.
 
Working with defense counsel, we create short documentary sentencing mitigation films built around candid interviews with family, employers, mentors and others who know the client.
 
We find the voices, moments and details that reveal character, relationships, responsibility, hardship, growth and the human context surrounding the case – and shape them into a focused, compelling story for counsel.
 
Sometimes searched for as “allocution videos,” mitigation films are separate from the defendant’s allocution.
 
Counsel determines whether and how the finished film is used.
 
  • Story and interview development
    Long-form YouTube videos
  • Family, employer and community interviews
  • Documentary filming
  • Photographs and archival material
  • Professional editing and finishing
  • Private counsel review

Legal expertise deserves better than a talking-head commercial.

Egg & Toast Media brings more than 25 years of television and documentary experience to the work.
Our founder, Rick Dowlearn, has spent his career producing and directing television, interviewing experts and
helping people communicate naturally on camera.
Our work has included series for National Geographic, Disney+, Discovery and other major networks and platforms,
covering subjects ranging from science and engineering to medicine, wildlife and conservation.
The process is remarkably consistent: prepare carefully, ask good questions, listen closely and find the story inside
what someone already knows. That’s what we bring to attorneys and their clients.
