For electric co-ops
We made this four-minute film for a made-up co-op turning ninety: the farmers who set their own poles, the night the lights came on, and the whole county singing at the annual meeting. Watch it, then get one for your co-op.
From the schoolhouse meeting in 1937 to the 90th annual meeting, with a choir, a brass band and every member singing the last chorus.
An example: Sycamore Bend Electric Cooperative is a made-up co-op. Every name, number and date in the film is invented.

Two ways to get yours
Either way you get the whole package for your meeting, your anniversary and the year around it.
This film, with your name
Your co-op’s name in every chorus and on the barns, the banner and the trucks, with your town and your phone number. Where the song tells history, we sing your facts: the year you started, your first farms with lights, your own storm.
Your own story
How you really started, who set the first poles, the storms you came through and the members you serve today. Your own music and your own look, made from scratch.
You don’t pay until you’ve seen the result
You and your board okay every word before we make anything. Two rounds of changes included. Ready in about seven days. Prices plus sales tax where it applies.
Play it at your annual meeting, on your website and Facebook, on local TV and radio, at the county fair booth and on hold. Yours to use everywhere, for as long as you like.
No. We made it up to show what a four-minute song and film for a co-op looks like. The people, the dates, the storm and the phone number are all invented. Yours is about your co-op, in your words.
Yes. Your name, town and number go in, and any line that isn’t true for you (the year you started, how many farms got lights first, the storm) is rewritten with your facts. You read every word before anything is made. If you’d rather have a song that’s all yours, that’s the $3,900 one.
Yes. You and your board okay the words before we make anything, and you see the finished film before you pay. Two rounds of changes are included.
Your website, and a few minutes to check what we found about your co-op. A logo and an old photo or two help, but aren’t needed. Nobody has to sing or be on camera.
About seven days once we have your answers, longer while we wait for them. Tell us the date of your meeting or anniversary and we’ll plan around it.
Yes: your meeting, your website, Facebook, ads, local TV, radio, on hold and events, for as long as you like. It’s written into your order, and our terms spell out the music rights.
