FAQ
Answers about our film and photography process, creative development, travel, timelines, deliverables, and project fit.
-
We’re based in Napa Valley and Sonoma County and work throughout California and beyond.
Most productions happen on location—in vineyards, cellars, kitchens, farms, estates, and other working environments where the story naturally unfolds.
We work with food, agriculture, wine, hospitality, and other place-based brands.
-
For seasonal productions, reaching out several months in advance allows time for narrative development, planning, scheduling, and production around the right moments.
That said, timelines vary. We’re always open to discussing projects at different stages depending on scope, season, and schedule alignment.
-
Yes. Creative development is part of our process. We help shape the story direction, scripts or interview frameworks, visual approach, shot priorities, tone, pacing, and edit.
We can lead the creative or work alongside an established in-house marketing team, communications team, or agency. The goal is a clear direction before production begins.
-
Yes. Motion and still photography are often planned together and captured in the same production window.
One production may support a brand film, Short-Form Editorial pieces, photography, campaign cutdowns, web, email, press, trade, and future campaigns. Aerial can also be planned when it supports the project and location, weather, permissions, and conditions allow.
The goal is not more for the sake of more. It is a connected body of work shaped by one clear creative direction.
-
Short-Form Editorial is a focused film built around one idea, voice, place, process, product, season, or moment. It is shorter than a brand film, but it is shaped to stand on its own—not simply cut down from a longer edit.
These pieces can support social, web, email, paid campaigns, tasting rooms, trade, and ongoing brand communications while remaining connected to the larger body of work.
-
No. We are not a high-volume social content studio or a social media management team.
We create focused, story-led film and photography assets that can support social, web, campaigns, email, press, trade, and long-term brand communications.
Our short-form work is usually delivered in curated batches, not endless monthly posts.
-
Yes. A Seasonal Visual Library is a connected body of films, photography, interviews, and campaign assets built through productions across the year.
Each production adds to a larger visual archive shaped by one creative direction, so the work holds together across campaigns, releases, and seasons.
Most partnerships begin with one focused production and grow from there.
-
Yes. A brand film, Short-Form Editorial series, photography project, or focused film-and-photography production can be a natural starting point.
Many ongoing collaborations begin with one clear project.
-
Our work is best suited to food, agriculture, wine, hospitality, and other place-based brands that care about story, place, process, and visual consistency.
We work well with established marketing and communications teams, founders, hospitality groups, and brand leaders who have a clear direction and need films and photography to support more than one campaign, platform, or season.
The strongest projects give us access to real people, working environments, and the details that make a brand feel specific.
-
No. We focus on planned brand films, photography, Short-Form Editorial, and Seasonal Visual Libraries rather than event coverage.
