Why Brands Should Care About Movies
One thing I've learned while making Finding Jose is that movies aren't just stories, they're one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world. Think about it... How many brands can you name from your favorite movies? Maybe it's the car James Bond drives. The sneakers from Sandlot. The candy from E.T.. The sunglasses from Top Gun. Chances are, you remember them without even trying. That's because when a brand is naturally part of a story, it doesn't feel like an ad. It fe

Our First Brand Partner: Silva Espadas
Every independent film has a series of "firsts." The first draft. The first location. The first cast member.

From the beginning, our goal has been to build partnerships with companies that genuinely connect with the story we're telling. Finding Jose is rooted in Mexican culture, family, identity, and community, so finding brands that share those values

Settling an Important Debate
Every road trip has at least one debate that somehow becomes way more serious than it should. For us, it's tequila.

Who makes the best tacos? Which family recipe is actually the original? And, of course... What's your favorite tequila? Since part of Finding Jose takes our characters through Jalisco, th

VR Table Reads: Shaping Scripts Through Interactive Collaboration
Hearing a script read aloud is a crucial step in filmmaking. Traditionally, table reads happen after casting, where actors gather around a table to perform the script for the first time. This process helps filmmakers catch issues with dialogue, pacing, and character interactions. Recently, our team took a different approach by holding a table read using virtual reality (VR). This method allowed us to explore the script in a new way, blending technology with creativity to impr
