What we do

Production, camera
& lighting, post

Three departments under one roof — hire the film, the department, or the truck.

Production

Concept support through shoot day. Films built to do a job: launch the product, open the round, tell the founder's story.

  • Brand films & launches
  • Short documentaries
  • Social campaigns & cutdowns
  • Commercial photography

Camera & Lighting

Director of photography and gaffer services for productions that need a department, not a vendor — with a full G&E package on wheels.

  • Director of photography
  • Gaffing & lighting design
  • G&E truck & trailer rental
  • Crewed or bare rental

Post-Production

Edited, colored, mixed, and mastered by the team that shot it. Nothing gets lost in a handoff.

  • Editorial & color
  • Sound design & mix
  • VFX & motion
  • Masters, cutdowns, delivery

Behind the camera

The person who answers your email is the person lighting your set.
