How can I submit a script or project idea?

We welcome submissions through our contact page. Please include a brief synopsis, genre, and your contact information. Due to volume, we only respond to projects that match our current development slate.

Absolutely. We believe in nurturing new voices. Our team can guide you through the entire process—from script to screen—and connect you with experienced mentors and crew.

What is the typical timeline for a feature film?

Timelines vary widely depending on scope and complexity. A typical independent feature might take 6‑12 months from pre‑production to delivery. We’ll work with you to create a realistic schedule based on your project’s needs.

Do you offer financing or production investment?

We occasionally co‑produce or invest in select projects that align with our creative vision. Please send a detailed proposal via our contact form, and we’ll review it internally.

Can you handle international productions?

Yes, we have extensive experience with international co‑productions and can arrange crews, permits, and logistics worldwide. Our network spans North America, Europe, and Asia.

What camera formats do you shoot on?

We work with all major formats: ARRI Alexa, RED, Sony Venice, and 35mm/16mm film. Your director of photography will recommend the best format for your story and budget.

How do I get a quote for my project?
