About
Light Machine prides ourselves on being nimble, efficient and able to tailor our approach to the problem in front of us to be solved. We have produced and directed on location all over the world, managed studio production and creative teams, as well as written and edited award-winning documentary features. We've sold original content to large streaming platforms like Netflix and Discovery+ and elevated the profile of small start-ups. Along the way, we've collaborated with everyone from Academy Award and Grammy Award winners to Fortune 500 brands to everyday people who've never been in front of the camera, creating work that resonates. We want to apply our experience to help you achieve your desired outcomes: collaborating on developing and executing a great idea, refining a pitch, leading a creative production, or teaming up to bring projects to life.
