WHAT
Makes us
DIffferent?
NO PRODUCTION MARK UP
We work like any other production service company, just without the markup. We don’t carry big overheads, so more of your budget goes on screen.
VERSATILE TEAM
We operate as a multiskilled team, covering roles across production management, editorial, assistant directing, and art department to streamline workflows and reduce staffing costs.
HIGH END RESULTS ON FACTUAL BUDGETS
Bill’s experience in art departments allows us to interpret a project’s creative vision long before a production designer needs to be engaged; make early budgetary decisions that save time and money; and then work seamlessly with the designer once they come on board. And because we don’t rely on standing sets, every show we produce looks fresh, distinctive, and original - no cookie-cutter content here!
