Private documentary films, Los Angeles
Intimate, cinematic documentaries. Made by commission, one family at a time.
Before there is a camera, there is a conversation. We learn how they laugh, what they return to, and what they have never quite said aloud.
What follows is not a keepsake video. It is a film — made once, made with care, and made to be watched for generations.
Based in Los Angeles. Wherever the story begins, we will go.
A small number of commissions. Each one, our full attention.
A parent.
The voice you could not bear to lose.
A founder.
The one who built it before it had a name.
A family.
Every generation, finally in the same room.
Families, family businesses and foundations.
An unhurried call. You tell us about them.
A private proposal, written for this person alone: how the film could feel, and what it would take.
Quiet days, at their pace, in their world.
Delivered with care, and a first viewing worth gathering for.
Nothing is shown, shared or published without your permission.
One director, from first conversation to final cut. Thirteen years behind the camera.
Color graded, scored and mastered for any screen.
Each commission receives the time it needs.
You already know who it is. Write to us. We reply personally, and every conversation is held in confidence.
