Creative Producing
Working hands-on with filmmakers from development through distribution: advising on script and casting, building and managing budget, hiring and managing crew, building and executing financing plan, collaborating with vendors to negotiate best location, equipment, and insurance deals, and generally providing guidance throughout the entire pre-production, production, and post-production process to ensure each project is a representation of the director’s individual vision.
Line Producing & Production Management
Overseeing every aspect of the production, including day-to-day prep and production logistics, budget creation and management, drafting and negotiating cast and crew contracts, and assisting in scheduling, ensuring that the project runs on schedule and under-budget while retaining the filmmaker’s artistic vision.
Casting
Sourcing on-camera talent from the ground up - conceiving and writing character descriptions, developing pitch decks to entice bigger-name actors, creating and managing casting calls, audition reviews (both remote and in-person), and drafting and negotiating cast contracts
Finding the right locations is critical to any production, as is maintaining a strong relationship with the location rep or owner throughout the process. We not only find the right location to meet a production’s needs, we ensure that each location accommodates each production when inevitable changes arise.
Location Scouting And Management
Either through direct funding or the creation and implementation of a financial plan, we work with filmmaker’s in the initial stage of their project’s lifespan, both via traditional, investment-based financing and crowd-sourced fundraising, depending on the project’s needs.
Financing
With over a decade of experience working on projects as small as 2-person micro-budget films and as large as 80-person million dollar ads, we are a valuable resource for any project, consulting on how to best allocate resources, anticipate and mitigate risks, and ensure the production’s needs are met months before cameras are rolling. We focus on easing the logistical concerns of any production so filmmakers can devote their attention to executing their creative vision.
