A bit about us
We’re storytellers by nature
Slate Roof Films is a nimble full-service production company based in New Hampshire that cares about people and their stories. Our work has taken us across the country, to the other side of the world, and to Main Street in our home town. With our backgrounds in documentary, narrative, commercials, and branded content, we can bring the right style to your project.
Small but mighty
Meet the team!
DIRECTOR / EDITOR
Meagan Frappiea
Meagan Frappiea is an editor, director, and animator with a background in sound editing, as well. She started her career at Ken Burns’ Florentine Films where she wore many hats on many films, and grew her love for documentary.
Occasionally found on set, Meagan enjoys visiting new places and spaces, and on-site cafeterias. She is most excited by new footage.
DIRECTOR / CINEMATOGRAPHER
Bryant Naro
Bryant Naro is a cinematographer, director, and tech guru. He, too, fostered a love of documentary (and database organization) at Florentine Films.
He’s served as cinematographer for feature documentaries, commercials, web series, and other projects. His hobbies include 3D graphics and photography—he loves to geek out about light (both real and simulated).
All under one roof
Bryant and Meagan live in a 150-year old Victorian home with their daughter, dog, and cat, under a slate roof.
When they’re not working on projects for clients, they’re working on original films. These are passion projects where a story has grabbed them, and they followed it. Check out Brew Hampshire and Sara’s Circus in Original Films.
how we do it
AKA, Our Process
Before we press record
Whether it’s telling a meaningful story, or finding a way to show a product’s value, we have experience in every step of the way.
We approach pre-production in whatever capacity necessary to fulfill the needs of the client and their project. We’ve worked as producers, directors, and writers for documentaries, commercials, tutorials, and e-learning projects. We’re here to produce quotes, draft up treatments, pull together mood boards, and whip-up pre-visualization elements—all in the name of communication, so that we can all be on the same page, and walk away with a successful project.
When we’re on set
Our production experience is long and varied, but no matter what the project is, or where it’s filmed, we bring a unique style to our visuals, commitment to detail and polish (with an eye for the post-production workflow), and a strong network of crew to work with.
We’ve traveled across the country—and the world—to film all types of projects for our clients. We’ve filmed hair and beauty clients in NYC studios, produced e-learning courses in Singapore and around the U.S., told the story of individual breweries and their distribution partners across the country, filmed events in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Washington D.C., and created local content not just in New England, but in our home-state of New Hampshire as well.
We’re also ridiculously good at packing.
In the editing room
The edit is where it all comes together. Feature length documentary, 30 second web video, or anything in between—we know how to structure and build content to communicate with an audience.
Here, we assemble the pieces of the project into a clear and thoughtful story, whether we’re following a script or creating one. We take care of finishing completely in-house for most jobs that don’t require a large facility, but for those jobs that do, we’re connected to a network of talent in the northeast that we would turn to. Whether you need a deliverable for social media, or broadcast, or even a DCP for theatrical runs, we’re prepared to deliver the goods.
