We filmmakers and storytellers have one golden code: to Serve and Protect the Story. The story takes precedence above all things; it must take precedence over fleeting trends, studio notes driven by algorithms, and—perhaps hardest of all—our own egos.
We focus on creating profound, deep stories that will stand the test of time. Don't blindly follow trends or try to emulate recent successes; tell stories from your soul! Create work that lasts.
We understand that the most unforgettable films are the ones that dare to be different. The ones that take risks with form, with character, with tone. Audiences don’t remember films that play it safe. They remember the unexpected ones that made them experience something new.
Great story has a strong spine, but theme must be the unifying force behind every choice—a moral thread that weaves through character and narrative arcs.Story structure is vital, but brilliant structure without soul is a machine with a robot at the wheel.

"Doug's script was a joy to read. His writing style prompted immediate cinematic imagery, and enabled me to quickly see and feel his movie. I could feel the spirit of the movie in the writing - that's a rare and precious thing."
