QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED

Every film is quoted to the brief, but you can get a ballpark in under a minute with our free project scoper on the Services page. Choose your type of film, length, shoot days, crew and any extras, and it shows a guide price range. From there you can book a free 30-minute strategy call, and we'll talk it through and send an exact, itemised quote, so there are no surprises.

Most brand films take four to eight weeks from first call to final delivery: around two weeks of pre-production, one to three shoot days, then two to three weeks of post-production. We can move faster when a deadline needs it.

A free 30-minute strategy call about what you want to make, who it's for and where it will live. You'll leave with a clear idea of approach, timeline and budget, whether or not we work together.
