Our Story

Our co-owners, Lindsey Myers and Jessica Renslow met while working at a post-production studio in Burbank, California in 2007. After a year of collaborating on many projects together, they decided to combine their production and post-production skill sets and formed Almost Fairytales. We are an independent production/ post-production company based in Studio City, California. We can do anything from create graphics in Flash to write a comprehensive curriculum. A key factor for the Almost Fairytales crew has been maintaining our motto, "We Make Projects into Productions!" Our corps of industry professionals has a unique combination of expertise. Our services vary, but fall into four main categories: preproduction, production, post-production and instructional design.
