...our story.
We have been shooting as a team for over 6 years and intended to create this company in 2011. Our DP moved to Austin to pursue independent film for a few years and has recently joined us back here in LA. Once he returned we looked around and saw some other companies beat us to the punch. We did not want to start this business with any possibility of saturation of the market. So we backed off. Pursued our careers as individual Demo Reel Editors, Sounds mixers, Production and Directors of Photography.
Then David Haverty, founder/owner, pulled the team back together because what he saw other demo reel producers were still not up to his expectations of the industry standards out there today.
What he found was self contained companies creating pretty decent production value, audio quality and tight scripts. What he didn't see was pace, mood, suspension of disbelief that their scenes could have actually been pulled right out of a network television show or even just an indie or student film. They are shooting just monologues to a camera with decent lighting but overbearing underscore and sound fx. Also he saw that every scene looked the same. That is just not acceptable.
Then he found another company who did grab the mood and production value. Had that sense of disbelief that these could actually be from legit productions. Yet what was lacking here was the knowledge and wisdom of how to truly showcase the actor. The actor should be the first thing seen and understood to be the product before anything else is acknowledged or questioned by the viewer. There should be no question who we are looking to see showcase their work.
We create work together all the time. We have a passion for film making and story telling. We will treat each scene of yours as an ultra short-story. You will have the talent of individuals who love this art form and understand the market. Please meet us below.
