Make films differently. This isn’t just how we make films. It’s how we treat the people who make them.
No burnout. No egos. Fair hours. Shared stake. Real care.
Others might join. Or not.
Either way, this is how we do it.
⦰ Principles
No Stars. The story comes first. We cast for story, not fame. Famous faces distract.
No Balloon Budgets. The story leads, not the spend.
One Voice. Each film has one writer-director. A singular vision. No creative dilution.
Practical > Post. In-camera over VFX. Real things. Real locations. Real time.
Every Film Is Its Own Island.
New cast. New crew. Every time, we start fresh and learn from others.
No repeats. No reboots. Each story stands alone.
We All Own The Work. Crew can choose equity over full day rates. It’s our film.
Humans First. 8-hour days. People have lives beyond the set. No 16-hour shoots. No missed dinners. Family first. Film second.
⦰ Naming Convention
Alongside the official title, every ⦰ work carries a unique ID:
⦰-001–2025–Patrick Ross McKenna
A number, year, and director. That’s all.
