About Us

Mike Hammari and Matthew Stumphy met in Los Angeles in the first decade of the 2000s. Mike was a sketch comedy writer and perfomer, and Matthew was trying to make it as a filmmaker. We got together shooting ridiculous little videos with no budget for YouTube. As our experience and skills increased, we got to try out cooler and more ambitious projects. Mike became a pretty good director and learned how to use After Effects and green screens to make a little movie magic, and Matthew loaded up on gear and turned himself into a director of photography and gaffer. Now we’re all grown up and ready to make your next commercial, industrial, or web video.
