What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We produce high quality video advertisements tailored for fast growing brands. Our product is a creative agency that brings Hollywood-level production values to companies that want premium video content but lack access to top creative talent. We handle all aspects from concept to final cut, with a focus on video and advertising tailored for today's digital consumers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of both tech innovation and media production. Being here lets us recruit technical and creative talent, stay close to clients, and iterate quickly on our offerings.
