Send us a photo of the thing. Honestly, that’s enough to start.

No deck, no brief, no “discovery questionnaire.” Tell us what you made and roughly when you want to launch, and we’ll come back with whether we can help — and which package, if any, actually makes sense. The first call’s free and runs about twenty minutes.

00:08 — Call sheet

Pick the line you’d actually use.

It’s a call sheet, basically: who to reach, what it’s good for, and what happens after you do. Every line ends up with the same two people, so there’s no wrong door.

You’re local and want to put the prototype on the table.

By appointment only — call or email first so somebody’s actually here, not mid-edit with headphones on.

Quick heads-up: we don’t take briefs over Instagram DMs. Not because we’re fussy — they just get lost between the cat videos.

00:35 — The take

Write it like you’d tell a friend.

Here’s what helps us answer faster. None of it’s required — if all you’ve got is take one, send take one.

  1. A photo or a 10-second clip of the thing.Mid-prototype, tape and all. We’re reading for the story.

  2. Your rough launch month.“Spring-ish” counts. We work backwards from it.

  3. Kickstarter or Indiegogo.Or “no idea” — we can talk that through.

  4. The funding goal, or a range.Helps us size the ask in the video.

  5. Your pre-launch page link, if it exists.Followers change how we write the hook.

  6. One sentence on why you made it.Your words, not a tagline. That line often ends up in the script.

When somebody actually picks up.

Laid out like an edit timeline, because of course it is. All times are Eastern — shoots are remote, so your clock matters more than your zip code. Tell us yours and we’ll find the overlap.

02:15 — Quick ones

The stuff people check before they write in.

Q.01

Does the first call cost anything?

Nope. Twenty minutes, free, and you don’t need slides. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so on the call.

Q.02

I’m nowhere near Virginia. Problem?

Not even a little. Every shoot is directed live over Zoom or FaceTime while you film where you are. We just need your time zone.

Q.03

How fast will I hear back?

Within a business day, usually sooner. If launch is really close, call (978) 785-8195 as well so we see it right away.

Q.04

Do I need a script or a deck first?

Please don’t make one for us. A photo, a launch month and a sentence about why you built it is a great start.

Q.05

What happens after I send the form?

We read it, reply with honest thoughts and a couple of call times. Booking a package means a 50% deposit; the rest is due at final delivery.

Q.06

Can I swing by with the prototype?

Sure, by appointment at 12337 Wescott Way. Call or email first — it’s a small studio and we’re often on a directing call.
