Where art intersects with commercial film production.

katorga

Aleksander Doba is a Polish man in his 70's who has kayaked across the Atlantic Ocean by himself three times. He describes the feat as a real "katorga," which is the Polish word for forced labor in Siberia. But by katorga, he does not mean an activity he does not wish to do. What most of us experience as suffering he repurposes as contrarian self-determination, and that gives him an existential thrill. Much of our work in commercials feels the same way.

"Do the task with the energy the task demands..." Lee Strasberg

Really applies to everything, doesn't it? Especially film production. Whether you're a production company hiring our team to line produce a project, or an agency/ advertiser hiring us to engage a director, and together bring your storyboards to life,  every facet of your production will be assembled in a way that not only captures the content in its best light, but also provides a state of the art balance between your budget,  and what you'd like to accomplish.

Collaborative film production, lead by a producer/ show- runner who will take personal responsibility for the success of your project.

We are not civilians.  We have developed an approach to producing that incorporates an elite level of concentration, along with an on-going commitment to self reflection.  We see the whole field when we sit down to plan out a project.  No detail is left unaccounted for.


The result is that our productions are exemplary, and we avoid the "hectic mess" that burdens so many commercial shoots.  Our jobs are planned with the utmost care, and people walk away with a pleasurable experience of the whole process, including overcoming any challenges that inevitably come up along the way.


We believe hiring a production company should not be merely a transactional arrangement;  you can trust us to protect your investment, and provide you with production value you can see on the screen, and content that leaves a lasting impression on your audience.


Even if your company, or your agency, or your client operates in the chaotic, overworked, overwhelmed, content marketing world, we will

work with you to ease the process ,and provide a rewarding film experience for all.


"I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process".  Vincent Van Gogh
