WHO WE ARE

We don’t make videos.

We tell stories.

Stories with heart. Stories with humor. Stories with something to say.

From award-winning branded content and commercials to acclaimed short films and animation, our creative team fuses imagination with invention to create the video productions everyone remembers. Each work that emerges from our studio reflects our devotion to pitch perfect production values and collaborative client relationships that start with story development and end with post-production and marketing. And it all begins with a single question:

What’s your story?

US

Amy Theorin

Producer

An active member of the Producers Guild of America, Amy has a B.S. in Marketing from the University of Delaware and a degree in Event Planning from Widener University. Currently a Producer and Marketing Manager for Something’s Awry, she also owned and operated a high-end portrait photography studio for 12 years. Before that she was the Advertising Manager for PNC Delaware. In her role as producer for SAP she has overseen projects of all sizes for companies worldwide.

“Amy is a top notch producer that delivers high quality content every time she touches a production. Her attention to detail and client service is something I wish all producers could mimic. She is able to work nimbly with tight deadlines, quick turnarounds, and even limited budgets. I can’t say enough good things about her and the quality of her work.”

Kris Theorin

Recently named one of Toy News’ 30 Under 30 to watch in the toy industry, Kris is a director, animator, DP, editor, and VFX guru. He has created content for several national brands including Disney, Warner Bros., LEGO, Mattel, JazWares, Tongal, Zing Toys and SOAP Creative. Stop motion animation is one of his specialties but he is equally as talented creating 2D and 3D animations, live action short films and commercials.

“Kris brings more than top-quality animation to the table. He brings a sense of wit and spontaneity that elevate the finished project to a new level. He understands the audience, what makes them laugh, and what gets them excited. And the audience response has been overwhelming! We couldn’t be more thrilled!”

Kurtis Theorin

Creative Director, Lead Writer

“Recently named one of Toy News’ 30 Under 30 to watch in the toy industry, Kurtis holds a BFA in film production from Emerson College where he graduated summa cum laude. His script-writing panache and intelligent brand of humor is one of the reasons clients such as LEGO, Warner Bros. and Hot Wheels choose us to write and produce branded content and series for them. In addition to his commercial work he has written several award winning screenplays for short films and potential series. Most recently his highly ranked Sci-Fi series Kindly Metal Mother.

“This is a worthy writing sample for a clearly talented scribe with out-of-the-box, original ideas. If this show concept is any indication of potential, then this particular scribe warrants immediate industry attention.”
