THE SHAPE
Production is the part nobody applauds when it's done well. We run it the way the films we love feel — calm, exact, repeatable. The schedule that lands on the call sheet is the same schedule we hand to the director on prep day one.
We produce for our own direction work and we produce for outside directors. Outside-director engagements pay better than they sound — we treat the director the way we want to be treated when we are on the other side of the call.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
- ▸Budgeting (line-item with three scenarios)
- ▸Schedule + call sheets
- ▸Casting and talent agreements
- ▸Locations and permits
- ▸Crew bookings and gear procurement
- ▸Insurance, safety, comms on set
HOW WE MOVE
ESTIMATE
Three-scenario budget within 72h of brief lock: minimum, recommended, stretch. No mystery line items.
BUILD
Prep schedule + call sheets, crew booked by name not by role. References for every position.
SECURE
Locations scouted (twice), permits filed, talent contracted, insurance bound.
RUN
On-set ops. Production coord + one PA per 6 crew. Daily wrap report by 22:00.
CLOSE
Footage backed up triple-redundant, wrap report, reconciled budget within 14 days of last shoot day.
WHAT YOU GET
On-time delivery in 31 of 32 productions (the one slip was weather-related and disclosed at brief).
Average crew callback rate of 78% — we re-book the same people because they work well together.
Detailed reconciled budgets at wrap — never more than 4% over the recommended scenario.
REQUESTPRODUCTION
One brief, one form, one reply within 24h. We answer everything — even when the answer is “not us, try them”.
Or, if you need more than one discipline, build a bundle across services.
