I invite you to watch “Impact the Future” the documentary short that we were hired to create for Fund For Teachers by the ad agency Origin.

We wrote, directed & edited this film.
This production showcases just how much we thrive on cultivating captivating performances from real people and vivid storytelling you can feel.

In addition to producing this project from pre-pro through directing, and every element of post (editing, color grading, sfx, audio mixing), we also collaborated with Emmy nominated composer Christian Moder in writing the musical score.

What client’s story can we help you tell?
It’s never to soon to share a script with us. We love being brought in early to co-write. Collaborating during the ideation phase is a brilliant path to success.

Stay safe. Stay creative. Be positive. Let’s Zoom! Let’s shoot!  , SAW

and… we’re back!

Well, within reason, of course. We have Covid Production Protocols in place and work with crew that takes precaution seriously. We are networked for you to view remotely, or safely on set with us in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Give me a call and I will walk you through our new workflow.
