SHORT FEATURES & TRAILERS

We are now producing short features -- from 3-7 minutes in Oakland and the Bay Area, with our team which includes a director, director of photography, cinematographer, production manager, script supervisor, editor, casting director, location manager, and several PAs.  The particular team depends on the nature of the shoot -- ranging from a small 3-4 person team to 10-15 crew members.  

We also produce shorts & Trailers for clients.  Typically, an initial script can be developed in under an hour; we've even done four scripts for 1 day and 48 shoots in 20-30 minutes.  Generally, after the script is written, we prepare a script breakdown and review the locations with the director of photography.

Examples of these shorts, some with still photos from the shoot, include the following.  Click on the name to see a page for that project, with photos, cast and crew, or additional details about the shoot.  These are organized by Features and Script Trailers, Documentaries, and Promotional Videos.

              ItalianIce (October 1, 2009)

        "The concept is fantastic...I think it looks like a comedy or parody the way the mother and father were acting in it. But I think it could make a great idea for a sci-fi horror flick...Good luck."
