[ 01A // what we do ]==================================================
we make films from the first conversation to the final cut. every project begins with , which is our research. before we film, we dig into your craft, your peers and your industry, and that tells us which story is worth telling. here's everything we do along the way: research & story sitrep · story · research · scripting · interviews pre-production creative direction · writing · casting · art direction · set design production producing · directing · dp · live capture · photography post-production editing · motion · sound · color · finish mediums documentary · commercials · long-form · photography · digital/social
[ 01B // sitrep ]==================================================
sitrep is our research. before we film, we dig deep into your craft, your peers, your industry and your sector. think of it as an outside r&d department that cares about your story as much as you do and helps point it in the right direction. it happens in three steps:
01
▼▼▼
INGEST
  • craft
  • peers
  • industry
02
◇◆◇
SYNTHESIZE
  • patterns
  • trust gaps
  • blind spots
03
⚡⚡⚡
EXECUTE
  • best story
  • production plan
  • ground truth
by the time we pick up a camera, we know your world well enough to have a point of view. we'll show you the stories we found, recommend the one we believe in most, and then we'll make it together.
