We produce narrative and documentary films, shorts, music videos, commercials, and corporate content—from development through delivery. Every project is scoped to your script, scale, and goals. The ranges below are typical; we’ll tailor a precise bid after a brief consultation.

Two standard budget tracks

• Independent / Low-Budget: $100,000 – $200,000+
  Best for contained stories, limited locations, and lean schedules.
   
• Full-Scale Production: $500,000 – $1,000,000+
  Ideal for ensemble casts, complex sequences, multiple locations, and expanded post.
   

What affects budget

• Script scope: number of locations, scenes, stunts/VFX, and company moves
   
• Cast size and caliber
   
• Format: digital cinema, 16mm, or 35mm
   
• Schedule length and union requirements
   

What’s included (customized per project)

• Development support & breakdowns
   
• Casting with professional actors
   
• Locations & permits
   
• Cinematography (RED Helium 8K, Sony F55, ALEXA LF; optional 16mm/35mm film)
   
• Production sound, gaffer & lighting, grip, makeup/wardrobe
   
• Insurance coordination
   
• Post-production: picture edit, color, sound design/mix, deliverables
   

Smart savings with Virtual & AI pipelines (optional)

• Virtual production stages and AI-assisted VFX to reduce travel, set builds, and large-scale SFX—great for hard-to-access environments (underwater, war-torn cities, fantastical worlds).
   

• Typical range: $5,000 – $50,000+
  Scope depends on script complexity, cast/crew size, locations, and finishing level.
   

Includes (as needed) casting, locations, cinematography, sound, permits, and full post (edit/color/sound).

Three production modes

• AI/Virtual Concept: $3,000 – $5,000
  Efficient, stylized visuals leveraging AI/virtual workflows.
   
• Studio or Real Locations: $3,000 – $50,000+
  Cost varies with art direction, choreography, VFX, and location count.
   

Typical inclusions

• Creative development & treatment
   
• Casting (dancers/actors)
   
• Studio/location rental & permits
   
• Cinematography, lighting, drone (as needed)
   
• Post-production: edit, color, VFX, sound/master deliverables
   

• AI-Driven Spots: $3,000 – $5,000
  Fast-turn creative for social and digital campaigns.
   
• Live-Action (scripted or doc-style): $10,000 – $100,000+
  For brand films, product spots, testimonials, and multi-location shoots.
   

A la carte crew & gear (hire individually as needed)

• Director of Photography / Cinematographer
   
• Drone operator (FAA-licensed)
   
• Production Sound Mixer
   
• Post-production only (editing, color, sound)
   

Camera & Format Options

• Digital: RED Helium 8K, Sony F55, ARRI ALEXA LF
   
• Film: 16mm or 35mm packages, with stock, processing, and 4K scans
   

We handle A–Z: script consulting, budgeting & scheduling, casting, permits, insurance coordination, production management, and full post. Deliverables can be tailored for theatrical, broadcast, streaming, and social platforms.

If you have a specific concept or budget target, we’ll build a bespoke package around it.
