What We Do
We produce narrative, documentary, and branded content.
We cater to exactly what each project needs -
from putting together a small, nimble crew, to coordinating a large, multi-layered group of artists and technicians to bring the creative vision to the screen.
Serpentine Pink
In the wild west of California’s Joshua Tree desert, a solitary biker woman and her dancer lover have to find a way to heal from the wounds of their violent, visceral passion after a violent night brings to surface their past traumas.
An ethereal psychic and her shaman companion converge with supernatural forces to confront and then heal the women’s deep-rooted personal pain, long plagued by the toxicity of possessive love.
Blue Moon
How do you want to be remembered?
Blue Moon illuminates the devastating consequences when an aging American patriarch, thrust into the role of caretaker to his wife suffering from Alzheimer’s, is forced to chose how to live his life.
After the End
Though 17-year-old Addison has always believed that the apocalypse would one day arrive, he’s still not quite prepared for one post-apocalyptic condition after a virus decimates the planet: loneliness.
But this changes when, after years on his own in post-pandemic Oklahoma, he eventually crosses paths with Ava, who is pregnant and on the run. Meeting Ava brings Addison some sorely needed companionship. It also invites danger in the form of a gun-wielding group of survivors hell-bent on building a new world from the remnants of the old.
