Since 2010, we have been making movies in some form. From Seattle to Los Angeles to Atlanta to Portland, we have participated in every aspect of the theatre & film industries, from acting as talent to working as crew - we have had our hands in this proverbial pot of stew for quite a while. We are a full-service business, pre-to-post production. We specialize in scriptwriting, development, classes, corporate improv and training, and directing - and we can take your project from concept to completion.

 

WHO WE ARE + Our Mission

Anna Giles and Mike Jones are partners in life and partners in filmmaking. Both have their theatre degrees from accredited universities (Georgia Southern University and University of Washington, respectively). Both have worked professionally in the film & theatre industry for nearly 25 years. And both have really great taste in TV shows, like Severance, and films, like anything Wes Anderson makes (sorry not sorry, he’s great).

When it comes right down to it, we want to create good content for good people. We believe that we can care about the bottom line while still retaining our creative spirit. We don’t intend to forget the reason why we got started in the film and theatre industries, and we make sure we have people on our team that feel the same.

““[The video content Anna & Mike produced] is something we can be proud to show our clients.””
— Sander Biehn, North American CEO, Thought Horizon
