# Shopify — Now Is the Time to Become an Entrepreneur

A 73-second brand film built from real small-business owners at work and on camera. It runs from a montage of makers, through personal testimony, to a closing line on black and the Shopify logo. Most of it is documentary footage with very little on-screen text.
