OUR INDUSTRY IS IN AN EXTREME CONTRACTION. Less projects are getting greenlights. Buyers want to spend less and are becoming more risk averse. Maintaining overhead is unsustainable. The economic environment is brutal and the unrealistic expectations of what it costs to produce content is real.

DESPITE ALL OF THESE HEADWINDS THE DEMAND FOR CONTENT PERSISTS…SO HOW DO WE DO IT…

the opportunity is to rethink…everything

We see the extreme contraction within our industry as an opportunity to work differently. Our senior team works with Domestic and International clients, excelling in finance, business affairs, and physical production. Our flexible talent model assembles a unique team for each project stage. We scope to navigate complexity and volume with expertise assigned only when you need it and only when the workflow demands it. Whether it is full production or modelling jurisdictions the FRAME model minimizes the total budget impact. We are committed to leveraging every soft cent to put more on screen and protecting budgets to keep (and grow) more money in house with our clients.
