So...Can You Explain More?
We Make Movies actively champions filmmakers by connecting them to a supportive community of like-minded artistic professionals and cost-efficient and dependable resources and educational tools, as well as providing an outlet for artistic expression, collaboration, and evaluation through our labs and international film festival. Our goal is to empower our fellow filmmakers, provide a custom experience tailored to the needs of each project, budget, and artist, and ultimately bridge the gap between the filmmaker and the business of film.
We Make Movies production services provides á la carte or full packages of development, pre-production, production, post, marketing, and audience creation solutions for the modern filmmaking workflow.

Our latest endeavor, the MAKE YOUR FEATURE COMPETITION, promises to challenge the industry at large by creating a viable and sustainable investment model for film financing and development. The purpose is to create an experience in which both the investors and the filmmakers effectively collaborate to make a creative work of art while also staying accountable to the business side of filmmaking.
