Everything a story needs. One crew, start to finish.

What we do

One stage or all of them.

Strategy, shoot, edit, sound and stills under one roof, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. Bring us in for a single shoot day or the whole journey. Every project is scoped to what it needs to do, not squeezed into a package.

  1. 01

    Strategy & creative

    Before anyone picks up a camera, we figure out what the film has to do and who it has to reach. A SITREP points us at the story worth telling, then we write it.SITREP research, positioning, concepts, scripts, distribution plans

  2. 02

    Pre-production

    The unglamorous work that makes shoot day look easy: the right people, the right places and a plan everyone can follow.Producing, casting, locations, permits, storyboards, schedules

  3. 03

    Production

    Cinema cameras, lighting, sound and aerials, run by a crew with a decade in the field. On location, in studio or wherever the story is.Directing, cinematography, lighting, sound, drone, cable cam and high-speed rigs

  4. 04

    Post-production

    Where the story comes together: edit, color, sound and motion, plus a cut for every channel it needs to perform on.Editing, color grading, motion graphics, subtitles, social cutdowns

  5. 05

    Commercial photography

    Stills with the same eye as our films, shot alongside the video or on their own.Campaigns, portraits, products, behind the scenes

  6. 06

    Audio & sound design

    Sound is half the picture. We score, design and mix it so it lands on a phone speaker or in a theater.Original score, sound design, voiceover, mixing, podcasts

  7. 07

    Rentals

    Our own cinema kit, available with our crew or without.Cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, crew optional

The challenges

The problems we get hired to fix.

Most people come to us after video let them down somewhere else. Here's what we hear most, and what we do about it.

  1. Video that looks good and does nothing

    Pretty footage with no plan behind it. We start with what the film has to do and who it has to reach, then build everything around that.

    Fixed with: Strategy & creative, SITREP research

  2. Too many vendors, too many handoffs

    A strategist here, a crew there, an editor somewhere else, and the story gets lost between them. One crew carries yours from the first call to the final cut.

    Fixed with: Pre-production, production, post-production

  3. Agency prices, agency timelines

    Big agencies bill for layers of people you never meet. We're a lean team led by founders who move fast and put the budget on screen.

    Fixed with: Full-service production, straight pricing

  4. Content that dies after one post

    One shoot should feed months of channels. We plan the cutdowns, stills and sound before we roll, so nothing goes to waste.

    Fixed with: Post-production, photography, audio & sound design

  1. 01

    Creative that stands out

    Ideas built on research and made with cinema-grade craft, so your story doesn't look like everyone else's.

  2. 02

    Agency thinking, production muscle

    Strategy, writing and creative direction from day one, plus the crew and gear to make it ourselves.

  3. 03

    On time, start to finish

    We show up early, run tight sets and deliver when we said we would. Deadlines are promises.

  4. 04

    Professional on set and off

    Clear communication, clean paperwork and crews who treat your people and your spaces with respect.
