OUR CREW
At A Family Story Films, we meticulously construct our crews to complement the unique demands of each project, rather than attempting to mold projects around preexisting teams. The composition of a crew is of paramount importance, as it distinguishes the exceptional from the merely adequate. We recognize that an intimate, passion-driven piece necessitates a distinct skillset compared to a grandiose, multi-camera spectacle. Consequently, A Family Story Films houses a diverse array of talent, encompassing directors of photography, sound engineers, graphic designers, and editors, each possessing extensive experience in their respective domains. This enables us to selectively assemble our teams, tailoring them to address the specific requirements of each cinematic endeavor.
