Everyone’s got one. Ours is that we discover and tell the stories of others. They call it “marketing communications.” We just call it “making conversation.” So, let’s talk about it.
We are seekers and travelers with sharp eyes and big ears… and our brains are pretty good too. Together, we’ve been telling the story of Silicon Valley and South Park start-ups since people started talking about them. To tell stories, we make pictures. We make them move and move people to action… sometimes to tears, but in a good way.
Over the years we’ve been fortunate to work with great clients and build friendships, and been inspired by some very interesting folks. We’ve built a reputation for collaboration, creativity, and keeping a calm head… and for telling the stories of real people.
Now we’re moving in a new direction, seeking out the stories of those working to benefit our world. Whatever the scope, we’ll bring our passion to your project and help you get your message out, wherever it needs to go.
And we’re honest, we’ll help you make sense and save dollars because we’ve been doing this awhile…because we like it. You’ll like us too.
SO, LET’S TALK ABOUT IT.
ABOUT US
A transplant from his native England Dave has been ripening in the California sun for the last 17 years.
In England, he was Creative Director /Director of his own award winning production company One Point Five, working in all sectors of the communications industry including TV commercials, music videos, corporate branding films, and live shows and events.
Once in San Francisco, he established himself as a leading creative in the Bay area. He has a knack for understanding the message a client wants to communicate and then crafting that into meaningful media that meets their objective. A background in design gives his work a strong visual sense of style, and raising the creative bar is his trademark. Which is another way of saying he “sees” the perfect imagery and it’s a bit like 20 questions or charades to decipher it, but top notch creative is always the result.
The only thing he cares more about than making images is football, that’s the round ball version by the way.
Also a transplant, Lisa dropped her roots in California in the late 80’s, after a stop in NYC for a few years from her native Midwest.
She began her career working with documentary filmmakers in New York, learning the craft from cinema verite pioneers of the time.
Once she moved west she expanded into commercial, music video, television and corporate production. Her approach to a project is from a creative perspective, seeing her role as helping transform a vision into a finished piece of media that communicates well with the resources available. This has earned her a reputation for working well with creatives, as well as keeping a relaxed vibe throughout the process. Actually, she sees herself as part translator, part therapist, and part babysitter and finds creatives exhausting and only puts up with them because the outcome is usually worth it.
As a team
Dave and Lisa started working as a Producer/Director team when they finished a project and realized they still wanted to work on another one together. She knows that the first time he sees everything he’ll think it’s rubbish, and he knows that she will never be on the cutting edge of tech. Bottom line it works because they’re both all about a good story.
