Use the form above, call 323-642-9531, or email us. Most inquiries get a reply within 24 hours, and then we set up a call about what the video needs to do, when you need it, and your budget.
You get a proposal with the creative approach, schedule, and an itemized budget. Once you sign off, we start casting, locations, and scheduling.
We shoot, edit, and send cuts for review online. Two rounds of revisions are included, and final files come in every format and aspect ratio you need.
Commercials, brand films, product videos, testimonials, corporate video, and social content, from a single 15-second ad to a full campaign.
