Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most commercial projects run between $2,500 and $20,000, depending on crew size, shoot days and how much post-production is involved. Larger campaigns and multi-video packages go higher. We qualify budget on the first call so nobody wastes time.

  • Most projects are delivered within two to four weeks of the shoot. Simple social edits can turn around faster; multi-location shoots and documentary work take longer. We agree the timeline before production starts.

  • Concept development, scripting, location scouting, crew and equipment, filming, editing, colour, sound and final delivery in the formats you need. Everything is handled in-house by our own team.

  • Yes. We're based downtown and work across central Indiana - Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Zionsville and travel nationally for brand and campaign work.

  • Yes. Monthly retainers are available for companies that need a steady flow of content rather than a one-off project.

  • A brand film tells the story of who you are and why you exist, usually longer and more narrative. A commercial is built to sell a specific product or offer, shorter and designed for paid placement.
