Why Does Angela Do This?
Her relationship with storytelling began before she ever picked up a camera. Born in London and introduced to the world on British national television as part of a documentary about childbirth, Angela’s earliest moments were captured through the lens of storytelling—a fitting beginning for a career dedicated to understanding people and preserving authentic human experiences.
Over the years, Angela has worked across New York City, Los Angeles, and London, developing a rare ability to move between creative disciplines. Whether directing a documentary, developing a screenplay, creating a brand film, photographing a portrait, writing a narrative, or helping a client communicate a complex message, she approaches every project with curiosity, empathy, and a storyteller’s eye.
Experience
” How can I accurately convey an ‘invisible’ injury (like mild TBI, chronic pain, or severe workplace harassment trauma) to an insurance adjuster who thinks my client is faking it?”
Trial Preview Films™ was created by Angela Dee, a filmmaker and litigation storytelling strategist specializing in:
- Settlement documentaries
- Day-in-the-life films
- Pre-trial narrative development
An award-winning creative, documentary filmmaker, producer, writer, photographer, and multidisciplinary storyteller based in Los Angeles, California, Angela has more than two decades of experience across film, television, photography, performance, luxury brands, and creative production. Helping people and organizations transform ideas, experiences, and complex stories into meaningful visual narratives, she trains attorneys to apply cinematic techniques directly to case strategy – before trial begins. Her work sits at the intersection of:
- Litigation strategy
- Film language
- Human psychology
Impactful legal documentaries that clarify case details and humanize testimony, supporting attorneys nationwide in achieving favorable outcomes.
Refined across London, New York, and Los Angeles, two decades of documentary and narrative filmmaking skills from writing, directing, producing, and editing, are now applied directly to litigation strategy. This global, high-level experience transforms complex human stories into precise, emotionally compelling films that sharpen case positioning, strengthen negotiation leverage, and drive higher-value settlements.
Each film is crafted to broadcast standards, giving your case the potential to extend beyond mediation into news coverage and public discourse if trial becomes necessary. Comparable productions with full-scale crews often cost multiples of this investment; here, that level of cinematic quality and narrative impact is delivered efficiently – positioning your case not only for stronger settlements, but for maximum visibility and influence when stakes escalate.
What is our Philosophy?
The best stories are discovered, not manufactured.
Angela believes authentic storytelling begins with listening. The most powerful films, photographs, and creative projects come from understanding what makes people unique—their experiences, motivations, challenges, and perspectives.
Her approach combines documentary honesty with creative strategy: finding the emotional core of a story, identifying what matters most, and shaping it into a narrative that connects with the intended audience.
In an increasingly automated world, Angela believes human connection matters more than ever. Her work focuses on creating stories that feel genuine, build trust, and leave a lasting impression—whether for an individual, a family, a business, a legal team, or a larger audience.
Every person, organization, and idea has a story worth telling. Angela helps you find it, shape it, and share it.
