"Crack on like smoke and oakum!"

The captain roared as they chased the horizon.

A clarion call to act with urgency and intent.

When ships of sail moved the world, deck planking was waterproofed with oakum fibers and smoking hot pitch. This mix required fast and skilled handling, so that decking was completed before the tar set and the effort wasted.

Sailors of experience, with deft skill and purpose on any task were said to move, "like smoke and oakum."

Our Name. We come from a tradition of decisive action. We're creative explorers who move quickly and purposefully through the new storytelling territories that generative filmmaking has opened, harnessing the craft that keeps wind in the sails.

We believe in bigger stories instead of smaller budgets. We've created a space where brands can speak in a specificity that was once remote and exotic because of the need for broad messaging.
The nuanced, human stories that move viewers are now accessible like never before.

Our Approach. We're storytellers first, technologists second. We craft films that are for humans by humans, using generative tools not as a replacement for creativity, but as an amplifier for the human voice.

Every choice serves the story.

The results are films that maintain human craft, skill and taste, while accessing production possibilities that were once unexplored.
