THE THINGS THAT MATTER TO US
Work with purpose
Work with purpose
Telling stories is great fun. But telling stories with meaning is a privilege. We focus a lot of energy into finding or creating pieces that can have a positive impact on the world. Sustainability, STEM, education, corporate social responsibility—this is all work with greater meaning.
Technology
Technology
Our personal lives are filled with gadgets and gear. We dabble in building and coding. We love to play around and discover what we can do. But this love of tech also informs our work. Filmmaking exists at the intersection of storytelling, visual art and technology. And so with every project, we look for tools that can up our game, improve our techniques or add a unique flavor to the piece. Plus, it’s just a lot of fun.
Family
Family
Our drive to create work we are proud of requires no shortage of long days. But as a company founded by three dads, family life must also share the spotlight. Balancing these two facets of our lives isn’t just important to our wellbeing, it’s core to who we are as a company. And we carry this through to everyone we work with.
Passing the Torch
Passing the Torch
We wouldn’t be where we are without the people who’ve helped us along the way. That’s why we’re driven to give young people opportunities to create, explore and do their best work. Because giving them a chance is important for their growth as well as our own.
