TRUSTED BY

Culture isn’t the soft stuff. It’s your insurance policy for a better film.

Film and Video productions are small businesses with enormous stakes. Tight budgets. Long hours. Big personalities.

And under all that pressure, culture usually gets deprioritized.

That’s when talented people underperform, costs balloon, creativity suffers, and everyone walks away exhausted instead of energized.

A quality culture doesn't just happen. It's cultivated.

A quality culture doesn't just happen. It's cultivated. •

I’ve spent my career in film, television, and small business. And here’s what I know:

Whether you’re shooting a three-day short or a three-week feature, every production is a small business.

If your crew doesn’t feel seen, safe, or connected to a mission, the audience can feel that on the screen.

You don’t need to run your set with chaos or cruelty to get results. That belief is outdated—and wrong.

You can lead with intention, mentorship, and connection—and deliver even better work.

  • "I've been lucky enough to collaborate with Todd on a series of projects over the years, and I am repeatedly impressed by his creativity, collaborative spirit and professionalism. I love having Todd on set, because my fellow crew and producers inevitably ask me, 'Who is that guy - he's amazing!' Todd's presence invites everyone to elevate their game, so I know that, not only will our set run smoothly, filming will be creative and fun."

    Elizabeth Dement - Director, Arlene

  • "Todd Hansen was an essential presence on our set. His positivity, reliability and enthusiasm were not only infectious, but set a great example for younger members of our cast and crew... and even some veterans! He modeled a strong work ethic, along with an ease and friendliness that made this production such a joy. Thanks to his efforts, by the time we wrapped, our rather disparate group felt very much like a family."

    Jason Kravits - Producer, Arlene
