A home for filmmakers. A partner for brands. A bridge between the two.

You deserve the best person to the lead the charge on your project.

We pair clients with the filmmakers who’re meant to tell their story, so the work feels personal, not transactional.

We lift up directors, editors, DPs, and artists by placing them in rooms they deserve to be in.

Who Our Creatives Have Worked With:

Our Process

Pre-Production

Where the current starts to pull everything together. We map the vision, shape the flow, and align every arm of the project before diving in.

  • The spark. We shape the core idea and define the creative current that everything else will follow.

  • Turning vision into words. We outline structure, tone, and narrative flow so every arm of the project moves with purpose.

  • Visual mapping. Frame-by-frame sketches that show how the story will unfold and where the current will carry each moment.

  • Organizing the blueprint. Camera angles, locations, and visual references—all aligned to keep the production swimming smoothly.

  • Timing the tide. Coordinating crew, talent, and shoot days so every piece moves in sync.ription

  • Finding the right environment. We explore and secure spaces that match the story’s look, feel, and flow.n

  • Choosing the right faces and voices. People who naturally fit the current of the project and elevate the story.

Production

This is the deep-water work. Our crew moves in sync—many arms, one direction—capturing the story with intention and energy.

  • Guiding the vision in real time. Keeping every arm aligned so the energy on set matches the intended story.

  • Capturing the visuals that define the piece. Light, movement, and composition that flow with the project’s tone.

  • Collecting clean, intentional audio—from dialogue to ambient layers—that anchors the story.

  • Shaping the mood. Using light and shadow to give depth, texture, and emotion to every scene.

  • Building the world on camera. Locations, props, wardrobe, and set dressing aligned to the project’s current.

  • Keeping the set moving. Crew communication, timing, and problem-solving so the entire production swims in rhythm.

Post-Production

Where the tide settles and the story becomes clear. We stitch the pieces together, polish every frame, and refine the final cut into a fully formed Current creation.

  • The stitching phase. We assemble the story, refine the pacing, and connect the moments into a seamless current.

  • Giving the piece its final visual identity. Tone, mood, and palette shaped to feel cohesive and cinematic.

  • Adding depth to the world. Effects, ambience, and textures that make the story feel alive.

  • Setting the emotional current. Custom tracks or curated music that elevates the rhythm of the piece.

  • Balancing every audio layer—dialogue, music, effects—so the final output sounds clean, full, and intentional.

  • Any extra magic. Clean-ups, enhancements, or creative visuals that strengthen the final cut.

  • Exporting in all needed formats—ready for web, social, theaters, or the client’s platform.
