Why are we different?

Our Code

Capture the Human Experience

We tell stories about humans, for humans, in the service of inspiring humanity forward. Stories are told through people and their relationships. That is where meaning is born. We can even animate the human experience.

Story First, Forever and Always

In serving the story first, we naturally serve our clients, causes, and world first. But stories by definition involve an emotional journey, tension, and conflict. We strive to join you in provocative, even uncomfortable, places because we know that when we allow the true path to emerge, the end result will echo for miles.

Cherish the Viewer’s Time

Every second of the viewer’s time must be earned and honored. We seek never to waste a moment. Redundancy, irrelevance, and wasteful indulgence meets our cold, unforgiving blade, “Chronos.” We don’t look back.
