YOUR PROJECT PLANTS TREES
We take an eco-conscious approach to video production in order to protect our natural world and leave it a bit better than we found it. In addition to our sustainable on-set practices, each project we produce aids reforestation efforts through our partnership with One Tree Planted.
The number of trees planted per project directly correlates to its overall scope. Each of our free quotes estimates how many trees will be planted if we produce your project.

What's In A Name?
TALUS
(noun) - ta·lus | /ˈtāləs/ - a slope formed especially by an accumulation of rock debris
A talus field or slope is a geological feature you might encounter while summiting a mountain - a rock field. The trail tends to disappear in these sections, and you're left to navigate your own way through.
For us, this parallels how we each as humans walk our own paths through life. Each with a unique story to tell.
Our chosen method for storytelling is film.
