On Time & On Budget

Experienced Producers

Are you an experienced video producer with a track record of delivering results? Do you have agency experience, documentary experience, or have you run your own shop? You may be a good fit for our team.

We are seeking qualified candidates with a track record of delivering quality results under pressure. You must be detail-oriented, capable of managing a video team, love to travel and meet strict timelines, all while ensuring that the client experience is fun and creative.

Love to travel. Travel and travel planning can be unpredictable and stressful, to do this job, you must love to travel and be as flexible as necessary to get you and your crew where you need to go.
Be technically proficient (& radically responsibile). Video is complicated. Do you have the experience to lead a crew and troubleshoot technical, creative, or logistics issues in real-time?
Perform with a smile. We have two primary goals: 1) Deliver a quality product that exceeds client expectations, 2) Do everything with a smile and make sure the client has a great time in the process.

Experienced Gimbal DPs

Directors of Photography

Are you a DP that shoots Red or Arri? Do you love cinema lenses and three-axis gimbals (and have a reel to prove it)? You may be a good fit.

We are seeking qualified directors of photography to add to our team. Do you love cinematography, love to travel, and have a strong independent work ethic? You may just be a good fit for one of our teams!

Shoot Red or Arri. We shoot industry standard cameras and gear to meet or exceed quality specs of other major commercial work. Our clients expect the best, and we need experienced DPs that can deliver beautiful, cinematic images.
Provide professionalism, not ego. Be on time with a smile and a helping hand. We pride ourselves on being team players. Sound guy needs a hand? We give it. No crew member is above helping out another. We're in it to win it.
Manhandle a gimbal. We like to shoot cinematic footage that floats through the air. Do you know your way around a Movi or Ronin?

FAA Certified (Part 107)

Drone Pilots

Are you passionate about aerial photography? Are you experienced, professional, and calm under pressure? FAA-certified? You might be a good fit for our team.

Fly DJI. As you likely know, DJI leads the field in cinematic drones. As of this writing, we shoot Mavic 3 Cine. It's a great blend of cinematic imagery with single-operator use - a sweet spot for our clients and budget.
Be FAA-Certified. As commercial operators, our pilots need to be Part 107 certified. We need pilots that can generate flight plans and get the shots we need, while abiding by local & federal guidelines.
Handle yourself under pressure. Can you get the shot with clients and talent watching? Are you comfortable flying in a professional environment? Our drone pilots need to capture beautiful imagery, while maintaing a fun and professional demeanor.

Davinci Resolve Wizards

Editors/Colorists

Are you a senior editor with 5+ years of experience? Do you know Davinci Resolve inside & out? Are you willing to turn several hours of footage into an unforgettable 2 minute final product? You might like working with us!

We are seeking senior editors that know how to turn mountains of footage into tight finished projects. Are you the kind of person that believes the magic is made in the edit? Us too! Drop us a line and send over your reel.

Be a storyteller at heart. Editors must be passionate about finding the absolute best story hidden inside a mountain of footage. This often means mining every word and syllable over countless iterations to find the finished product.
Communicate professionally. Producers don't have time to go through all of the footage. They must trust the editors to use the best soundbites and b-roll they can find. This process often requires professional, courteous communication with the producers to ensure best final product.
Work with Mac & Apple Silicon. Long gone are the days of tower workstations and server farms. Our editors work from the best Apple Silicon they can get their hands on. They work remotely and must be self-starters. They get the job done on-time and on-budget, while exceeding producer & client expectations.
