Where I Shoot
Producing shoots in San Francisco
Launch films, founder films, and customer stories across the Bay Area. I am not based here, and it has not been the thing that decided a job.
Are you based in San Francisco?
No. I am outside Washington, DC, and the Bay is one of the two places I shoot most.
The reason that works is simple. Sourcing the crew is my job, not yours. You give me a date and a brief, and I come back with the people, the gear, and the locations already lined up. A producer being local matters far less than whether the crew is.
The client-facing difference is usually one travel day.
What a Bay Area job looks like
Mostly founder-led and product work for software and AI companies. One to three shoot days, crews sized to the job rather than to a package.
Tell me the specific shape of yours on a call and I will tell you exactly who I would put on it and what it costs.
How fast
A straightforward one or two day shoot can usually be crewed inside a week. Faster is possible and carries a premium, which I will quote before you commit.
Whose name is on it
A good share of my Bay Area work is white label under another studio brand. Your client sees your brand, your invoice, your deck.
What it costs
Day rates start at $1,250 when you stay the production company. When I carry the production, contracts, insurance, and budget included, the floor is $5,000 and the rest gets scoped.
