The Space

Where the films get made.

A working studio in West Haven, Connecticut. Edit bays, equipment, a training room — and an open door for the creators we mentor.

The Editing Suite

The Gray Room.

The Gray Room

Our editing station — and where clients see it first.

The Production Floor — cyc wall, strobes, and cinema camera setup

The Production Floor

Where we shoot.

A dedicated space for portraits, interviews, product work, and controlled narrative shoots. Full lighting grid, seamless backdrops, sound-treated for clean dialogue, and enough real estate to build a proper set.

The Equipment Room

A working kit room.

Everything we own is professional-grade and battle-tested on real productions. Cameras, glass, audio, lighting, and grip — checked out, checked in, and ready for the next shoot.

The Equipment Room — organized gear, tools, and cases

Cameras

Sony FX30 · Nikon ZR · Panasonic Lumix S1 II. Sony FX3 joining the kit soon.

Lenses

A full range of primes and zooms — cinema and stills glass for every focal length we need.

Audio

32-bit float recorders, shotgun mics, and lavalier kits. Clean dialogue, always.

Lighting

Aputure 600B & 1200B, Amaran 25C, Nanlite 500 & 300 — with diffusion, V-flats, and modifiers.

Plus a full grip package — stands, flags, sandbags, cables, and every small thing that keeps a set moving. If it's not on the shelf, we know where to get it.

The Lounge

The Sanctuary.

Every wall is a memory. A mural by New Haven artist Rouse wraps the room — Spike, Ava, Coogler; Boyz n the Hood, Menace, Shottas, Paid in Full, The Great Debaters. The faces we studied. The films that raised us.

It's where we decompress between takes, screen rough cuts, and remember why we picked up a camera in the first place. You walk in and the room reminds you: this lineage is the assignment.
