Video production that helps San Diego buyers understand.
We make brand films, customer stories and event content that connect San Diego’s life science, defense and tech companies with their buyers.
We guarantee your main film’s delivery date, so you can count on it for your premiere.
Between five and 16 people, from as many as four departments, help decide when one company buys from another.¹
So one film has to win over the scientist, the buyer and the one who signs the contract.

The product gets lost.
Lab coats and logo shots leave the buyer exactly where they started, still unsure what you do.

The week is fixed.
A launch or conference week won’t move. A film that lands a week late is a film you can’t use.

The final bill is bigger.
Extras show up after you sign, and the invoice lands well over budget.

The City has to know.
Filming on City property has to be registered ahead of time, and a crew that skips it can lose the shot.
We take complex ideas and bring them down to simple, human connection, made to grab attention and help people understand.
The San Diego industries we make films for.
Life sciences
Launch films, lab and team stories and recruiting films that help biotech and medtech companies connect with investors and talent.
Defense
Capability films and customer stories for companies that sell to government. Defense is about 20 percent of San Diego’s gross regional product, and nearly 1,000 San Diego firms work only on cyber.²
Software and tech
Product films that make your platform clear from the first frame, in a region with more than 3,100 software establishments.²
Manufacturing
Culture films and customer stories that put your people front and center, in a region with over 4,400 manufacturing establishments.²
Tourism and hospitality
Films for hotels, venues and attractions that let guests feel the visit before they book.
Events
Openers that set the tone in the room, and recaps that carry your message to everyone who missed the conference.
Your location, ready on shoot day.
The City’s Film Office registers shoots on City property for free, and drones or closures need more notice.³ We build that notice into your schedule, so the location is ready when the crew arrives.
How a San Diego project runs.
- 1
1. Share your goals
Tell us who we want to impact, what you want them to feel and do, and by when.

2. Approve the storyboard first
We write the messaging strategy and the script, then build out a cinematic storyboard. Nothing gets filmed until you sign off.

3. Get your films
We film, edit and finish every piece with cinematic color and pro sound, with updates and check-ins along the way. You pay half of the fee when you sign your plan and the other half, your final invoice, when we deliver.
Tell us what the film must say, who it must move and by when, and the plan follows.
We’ll come back with a full vision and strategy for reaching the people who matter, with every piece and a transparent price.
We guarantee your main film’s delivery date, so you can count on it for your premiere.
