FORTH

From the first question to the final cut.

Forth develops, produces, and finishes documentaries, branded films, and campaigns. We can lead the full project or join for a specific stage.

Development

  • Research & Creative Strategy
  • Concept Development
  • Treatments & Scriptwriting
  • Multi-Platform Storytelling

Before deciding what to shoot, we determine what is worth saying. We study the subject, audience, and goals to uncover the central character, tension, or idea that can carry the story.

Pre-Production

  • Budgeting
  • Scheduling
  • Casting
  • Location Scouting
  • Crew Assembly
  • Production Planning

We translate the creative direction into a practical production plan. Every decision, from the people on camera to the locations, schedule, and crew, is made to protect the central idea.

Production

  • Directing
  • Producing
  • Cinematography
  • Production Management

Whether we are working with actors, real people, or unfolding environments, we create the conditions for honest moments to happen. Forth leads the production and shapes the cinematography around the emotional intent of the piece.

Post-Production

  • Editing
  • Motion Graphics
  • Visual Effects
  • Sound Mixing
  • Color Grading & Finishing

The story is found again in the edit. We shape structure, performance, pacing, music, sound, and image into a cohesive film, then extend its visual language through to final delivery, including vertical and social versions.

How we work

Care goes into the whole experience.

We begin with a conversation about what you’re making, who it’s for, and what you need it to accomplish. Then we work through the creative direction, budget, and schedule together, so you know what to expect before production begins.

On set, that care extends to the people in front of the camera, especially those who have never been filmed before. In the edit, it means explaining our choices, making room for your feedback, and keeping the work moving.
