About Us
Small crews, our own kit and patient edits, since 2012.
A Company Of Six In The Navy Yard
+2Six On StaffAnd a book of freelancers we trustKinora started in 2012 with one camera, a borrowed van and a music video shot in a single night. 14 years later we are six people on staff, two edit suites, a grading theatre and Stage One, a sound stage in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
We make three kinds of film: commercials, music videos and documentary. They teach each other. Documentary keeps our commercials honest, commercials keep our documentaries on schedule, and music videos remind everyone that a frame can be beautiful for no reason at all.

How We Got Here
Elias shoots a music video for a friend's band in a single night on a borrowed camera. It gets him the next three jobs.
Theo joins from documentary and brings his anamorphic lenses with him. The first commercials follow.
Noor arrives and we build a grading theatre, so every film is finished where it was cut.
We move into Building 77 in the Navy Yard, with a sound stage, two edit suites and room for the truck.
A second stage with a cyclorama and a second grading theatre, opening soon.

Client Words
They found the film inside our brief and shot it in two days. The cut-downs were ready before we asked for them.
Clara WenBrand Director, Northline OuterwearElias shot my record like a short film. The lake scene is the one people stop and screenshot.
Ines ValeMusicianThree weeks on the plateau with a crew of three, and not one wasted day. The edit found the story we hoped was there.
Marcus OyelaranCommissioning Editor, Field Notes ChannelThe estimate landed within four percent of the final invoice. In fifteen years of commissioning, that has happened twice.
Sofia BrandauerProducer, Maison ArloNoor built the grade with us in one afternoon, and we have kept that look for a year of campaigns.
