FAQs

Frequently asked questions about CHICAGO video production services

We cut our teeth in Chicago (our founder, Josh, graduated from Columbia College Chicago and lived in the city for five years). It’s a second home to us, and the setting for much of our work (yes, we know to show up the night before a morning shoot to avoid traffic snarls and blizzards). Safe to say, we know our way around Lower Wacker. When we work with you in Chicago, it’ll feel like you’re working with locals.

Want to know more?

We charge a minimum travel fee to get our team from point A to point B while making sure everyone is fed, rested, & ready to do their best work. 

Why don’t you hire local freelancers to work with you, rather than traveling? 

No matter where we’re shooting, you’ll always work with members of our core team when you hire us. Not only does this mean you won’t receive a freelancer or contractor upcharge, it also allows us to guarantee the consistent high quality of our work, as well as use each team member’s strengths properly on each project.
