The art of film-making is where it all began for Methodworks.

This landscape is suited to independents seeking a full production service for short form and long format films.

**We do not commission films nor seek funding for films.**

The methodical five stages of the production process are designed to increase value and creativity along the journey to produce a vision greater than first realized. For further details of our method please view the About Us page.
