The work
One brand film, then a library the whole firm can use
AmeriLife is an insurance and retirement solutions group with a national network of agents, financial professionals and affiliated firms. The relationship with 7 Hills Productions began with a brand film. It grew into a second project for one of AmeriLife's affiliates, Succession Capital Alliance (SCA), which provides premium financing and advanced life insurance solutions to financial advisors and their high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.
Financial services video has a familiar problem: one polished company film that gets watched once and then sits on the About page. SCA needed something its people could use every week, with advisors, on LinkedIn, in recruiting and at events. So instead of one long video, we built a library.
Each of eight executives, from President & CEO Julian Movsesian to COO Danielle Williamson and Chief Distribution Officer Michael Rothman, answered a set of focused questions on camera: what makes SCA different, why liquidity matters in estate planning, whether premium financing works when rates are high, when to start a succession plan, and how the firm thinks about leadership. We filmed on location across SCA's offices, moving between set-ups so each speaker has a distinct look, and added branded lower thirds and captions in the edit.
The result is a short-form library of standalone answers, each about as long as a social post, cut in wide 16:9 for the website and presentations and in vertical 9:16 for LinkedIn, Reels and Shorts. The full library runs well beyond what is shown here; below is a selection, organized by topic the way an advisor would look for it.
What a finance firm walks away with
- Months of content from one production. A deep bench of standalone clips can be posted weekly without repeating.
- Expertise, not slogans. Executives explain liquidity, premium financing and succession in plain language, which builds more trust with advisors and families than an ad does.
- Clips compliance can approve one by one. Short, self-contained answers are easier to review than one long film.
- Every format covered. Wide versions for the website and pitch meetings, vertical versions for LinkedIn and social, delivered together.
- Your people as the brand. Recruits, partners and clients see who they would actually be working with.

Questions from financial services marketers
Who produced the AmeriLife and Succession Capital Alliance videos?
7 Hills Productions, a video production company based in Irvine, California, produced the AmeriLife brand film and the Succession Capital Alliance executive interview library on this page, from filming through editing and delivery.
What is a corporate video library?
A set of short, standalone videos built from one production, each answering a single question. Instead of one long company video, a financial firm gets a library it can use for months: on its website, in advisor emails, on LinkedIn, in recruiting and at events.
Why deliver the same interviews in wide and vertical versions?
Wide 16:9 versions suit websites, presentations and YouTube. Vertical 9:16 versions are framed for LinkedIn, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, where most people watch on a phone. Planning both at the shoot costs far less than reframing later.
Can short clips like these go through compliance review?
Yes. Because each clip is one self-contained answer, a compliance team can review, approve or pull clips one at a time rather than signing off on a single long video. We build review rounds into the schedule.
Can you build a video library like this for our financial services firm?
Yes. 7 Hills Productions films executive interviews, brand films and thought-leadership series for wealth management, insurance, lending and fintech firms across the US. Send us who you want on camera and where the videos will be used, and we will plan the questions, the shoot day and the deliverables with you.
