About Us

 

As Creative Producers we collaborate to help ensure the highest quality of your vision and story is brought to life on screen. We specialize in producing narrative stories with 25+ in the arts and in film. We direct and produce our own films as well as others. We can help find and connect you with your HOD’s and crew, we can help facilitate your vision and expand upon the overall quality and concept of your production. Art Snob productions only produces narrative productions and are pretty pretty snobby about what we like and how to do it. We despise the idea of making “content” just to get it done. We’re also dead-serious about filmmaking. We loathe bad lighting and bad production design and we will ensure that every production we touch gets that part right – in a way that elevates the story – across every department. Everything is about the story. Every element seen on camera must serve the story. There will be no cutting corners, although we will problem solve on your budget. It’s about making good art. We want to collaborate with clients who want the same. That’s key. That’s our collective strength together. We’re open to producing other peoples vertical series and any narrative film, TV, web series, podcast serials, etc. in any genre, just as long as it’s narrative storytelling done with the utmost care. We’re not interested in doing music videos or commercials, unless there is a great narrative story to tell. We don’t do documentaries or branded content. We don’t do reality – we only do make believe. AND, in case you were wondering, we are Art Snobs.
