The team
The people doing the work. Hand-picked for each job.
Sam leads the strategy on every engagement. The people below build, shoot, design, and ship it, and we bring in specialists we trust when a problem calls for them.

How we staff the work
The right people for your problem, not whoever is on payroll.
We do not keep a big bench waiting for work. We match the team to the problem: developers for the build, a video crew for the shoot, a specialist when the job needs one.
AI handles the parts it does well. People who did every one of these jobs by hand check all of it.
