The Collective

We are a small group of collaborators, independently driven and together a force to be reckoned with.  We do not take projects based on need, but instead based on a desire to create and enjoy our craft.  For this reason, each member of our team decides for themselves if the next project is right for them, and we support their wishes.

No Bad Ideas

But given the above, we don’t give up on a “bad idea” because we don’t believe in bad ideas.  Every idea is a well formed thought that someone has arrived at and represents a level of importance to that individual.  However, to make the idea relevant or entertaining to a larger audience there may be more effort needed.  This is the way we see ideas and that’s also why there are no limits to what we can accomplish.
