services real people casting we work with an academy-award nominated casting director who brings in and engages the best possible people to represent our clients location scouting every shoot begins with a conversation with our subjects in locations that will speak to who they are and what they do providing a warmth and intimacy that cannot be art-directed we complete our footage with stunning visuals of the iconic places around them production director henry corra creates the spine of every piece with a direct-to-camera conversation if a client writes it he gets it often in the subject s voice in ways we could never have predicted or written he then captures verite day in the life and follow-doc footage to fill out the story post-production we ve established an in-house four-suite post-production studio team of top non-fiction and unscripted editors which means we begin the offline editing process as soon as the first frame is captured we tend to shoot hours instead of frames and consider the process of whittling these hours down to their very essence to be writing in the edit room[close]
