We are a team of experienced, organized, innovative problem solvers, devoted to making each of our productions better than the last. We do this through highly organized details, seamless communication, uncompromising standards, creative problem solving and teamwork. This all happens in a timely manner and with a watchful eye on the budget. Our Squad enlists only the best- to the highly-skilled and hardworking crew members, to the tricked-out motorhomes, and to the deliciously organic foodie-inspired catering. We love the opportunity to bring these talented groups together. We work primarily on the western seaboard: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Portland, Bend & Seattle.
