STORIES WITH SOUL
Our films make the invisible, visible. Revealing things hidden in ourselves and within the subtext of society. The arcs, characters and transformations give us palpable insights into our own journeys. Behind our stories is our passion for production from the inception of the idea to crafting it into words and then bringing it to life on screen.

MORE THAN A NAME
By and Large is a sailing term, coined by one Samuel Sturmy in the venerable Mariners Magazine of 1669.
Referring to a ship that can sail both into the wind and with the wind, it’s nimble and versatile. It holds the power of two formidable forces—the wind and the waves—at the tip of its sails.
With its sights set on the horizon, a vessel that sails by and large can reach its destination, no matter which way the wind blows.
