BASED IN NEW YORK
REAL LIFE CINEMA
Film production from the streets.
Let’s create something.
For over 20 years we’ve been traveling the world documenting what’s happening at street level for film, news, and commercial production.
This experience of diverse cultures, languages, and often challenging circumstances is what sets us apart from other film production companies. We go where others don’t and come back with the stories that few are able to get.
We are based in the Astoria neighborhood of New York City, a stone’s throw from Kaufman Studios, in the heart of an emerging arts district.
We do everything from feature-length documentaries to cable news shows to social media videos. Whatever your project needs, just get in touch.
Our Services
Documentary Film Production
At the heart of our company is our documentary production unit. We go to places that few others want to go and come back with the stories that others are not telling. Whether it be Western China, Central Asia, the Middle East, or just about anywhere else, if you need a crew on the ground that knows how to operate in challenging environments, get in touch.
News
Whether it be sit-down style cable opinion shows or going in the streets and covering events as they’re happening, we strive for excellence in news reporting. Our decades of international experience and travel savvy means that we can go anywhere at anytime and bring back the stories you’re after.
Commercial Production
Television, web, and social media commercial production is another of our pillars, and we’ve carried out video campaigns for some of the top brands in a variety of niches. We use our in-the-streets acumen and knowledge of new trends to create unique ad content that’s sure to spark interest in your brand as well as entertain.
Music Videos
Focusing mainly on hip hop, we shoot, edit , and produce music videos from a wide range of artists.
Web Series
With the aim of diving deeper into the story, we produce ongoing documentary-style web series on a variety of topics, including new cities (ghost cities) in Asia, the New Silk Road, the Syrian hip hop artist Assasi, the global warming controversy, and travel vlogs.
Live Events
From concerts to comedy shows to conferences, we can cover your event via live broadcast or edited for a later delivery.
