Our crew turned a warehouse into a completely ridiculous box-filled world.

And is where having the right production designer matters, Jesse Velez from RaptorHouseFX helped turn a warehouse full of normal shipping boxes into a world the actors could actually live inside. By the end, we were close to 300 boxes — many handwritten by Jesse himself.

The best part was watching the whole thing come together. What started as a pretty ordinary warehouse ended up feeling like a completely different world.

Here's our trailer for The Psychology of Retirement starring – a feature-length documentary, built to play in theaters across the country for financial advisors. Which returned 15X the spend for our client.

This project pushed every part of our team: expert interviews, real people, custom B-roll, travel, financial compliance, MPA rating, DCP delivery, professional color, theatrical sound, and a six-month timeline to bring it all together.

The goal was not just to make something polished.

It was to take a complex financial issue facing Boomers in America and turn it into something human, cinematic, and clear enough to connect with an audience sitting in a theater.

This trailer is a small look at the work behind that process.

Documentary heart. Commercial rigor. A story worth taking seriously.

The interview location we planned on was not the one we ended up using.

We thought we were filming Morgan in the main home.

Then we got there and realized the light, layout, and flow were not quite right. Different floors, tough lighting, and a few visual limitations made the original plan feel less ideal once we were actually standing in the space.

Then we found the carriage house. It had a garage with a loft above it, and it ended up being the better interview location. Originally, we were supposed to sleep in the carriage house and film in the main home.

Instead, we filmed in the carriage house and slept in the main house. That pivot gave us a better setup and let us pre-light the interview the day before, which was a massive win. Sometimes the better version is not on the original plan.

You just have to notice it fast enough.

The whole Seattle section was built around one simple idea: retirement feels like climbing a mountain.

So we filmed it that way.

Morgan at home. Packing. Driving up into the mountains. Ending at the top.

The question was not just, “How do you get to retirement?” It was, “Once you get there, how do you stay there?” That visual arc did a lot of heavy lifting for the film. It gave the audience something to feel, not just understand. We even rented a Ford Bronco for the driving sequence because we did not want to show or identify Morgan’s personal car, and the Bronco felt right for the mountain environment and the audience.

Those details matter. A metaphor only works if the logistics support it.

Seattle was the first time the film really clicked for the team.

Before that, we had strong expert interviews and a lot of good information.

But we still needed someone who could help guide the audience through it.

Morgan Housel became that person. We purposely scheduled him later in the process so we could see what themes were already showing up before we sat down with him. By the time we got to Seattle, we were not asking generic questions. We were asking sharper ones because the film had already started to reveal itself. That decision helped tie the whole thing together. Up until Seattle, it felt like we were building a strong documentary.

After Seattle, it felt like we knew exactly what the film wanted to become.

Here’s a short snippet from Denver: we needed normal people in the film.

Not just experts.

Pretty early on, we realized no one wants to watch 60 minutes of experts talking at them, even if every expert is right.
So we brought in around 10 Boomers who were nearing or already in retirement and asked them real questions. How much do you think you need to save? What are you expecting retirement to look like? What are you worried about? What feels unclear? We treated those interviews almost like a palette cleanser for the film. They reminded the viewer, “You are not the only one thinking about this.” We also kept the setup controlled but flexible: hair and makeup, wardrobe check, then choosing from four backdrop colors based on what each person wore.

Simple setup. Real answers. Huge impact on the tone of the film.

One of our best DC solves happened in Denver.

We originally wanted to film Jason Fichtner in Washington DC, but the schedule did not line up.

So we flew him to Denver and used the Colorado Capitol area to create the visual tone we needed. For most of the country, that architecture reads close enough to DC that it keeps the story intact. Unless you live in Denver and know the Capitol area, you probably would not think twice about it. That is a big part of production: finding the solve that protects the story, the schedule, and the budget without calling attention to itself.

It was not about tricking the audience. It was about making a smart production choice so one scheduling conflict did not force the film to lose an important voice.

Four expert interviews in one day is only a good idea if they do not all look the same.

That was the challenge. Same building. Same day. Multiple experts. Very different parts of the retirement conversation.
We needed a location that could feel tech, government, or finance-adjacent, then had to make every setup feel distinct without wasting the day moving all over Denver.

So we changed eyelines. We moved into different parts of the building. We adjusted set decoration. We made small visual decisions that helped every interview feel like it had its own place in the film.

Most viewers probably never think about that. But if every interview feels identical, they absolutely feel it. That is the invisible part of production we care a lot about: making something efficient without making it feel cheap, rushed, or repetitive.

We learned a lot about retirement in one Denver production day.

We were not retirement experts walking into this project.

That’s part of what made this Denver block so important.

In one day, we interviewed experts from Income Lab, Jason Fichtner, and David Dooley. We covered retirement planning, Social Security, government systems, historical context, and the assumptions people make about their financial future.

Income Lab helped explain how people think about preserving their nest egg. Jason helped frame the current state of Social Security. David brought perspective from Flint, Michigan and what happens when government systems fail the people relying on them. That day gave us a huge portion of the film’s foundation. Production is not always just capturing what is in front of you. Sometimes the job is learning fast enough to ask better questions by the next setup.

Here’s a short snippet from Denver: the probe lens was not there just to look cool.

It gave us a visual language.

The macro shots, the compass details, the textures — all of it helped break up the expert interviews and keep the film from feeling static. A documentary like this can easily become information-heavy. Expert after expert. Interview after interview. Important, but visually repetitive if you are not careful.

So this production block was about building our own library of visual punctuation. Not stock. Not generic. Not “good enough.”

Specific visuals for a specific story. That is what made the final piece feel more crafted, more cinematic, and more connected to the people it was made for.
