Some nice things people have said
The Core Team
Immanuel Mullen
Owner | Director
Immanuel believes that the best way to serve his clients and their stories is by pushing past his creative comfort zone with every project. Only by doing this can the best work come forth.
Immanuel started off his career as a graphic designer, having had the opportunity to work with brands like Pepsi, Saucony, Target, BiC and others. Upon making the transition to filmmaking, he has been able to bring the attention to detail he developed as a designer to help best communicate stories through visual storytelling.
He leverages a real love for branding and marketing to craft client stories in a way that heightens their brand and doesn’t detract or compete with it. In this oversaturated environment, Immanuel takes joy in helping clients subtract from the noise and be noticed.
Scott Brown
Executive Producer
Scott is a creative soul hotwired into an accountant’s body. He is as equally inspired by a complex spreadsheet formula as he is with an impassioned Indie documentary. With these two dissimilar aspects of his personality, he is able to blend his creative process and analytical mind into a mashup of inspired effectiveness.
Scott’s background in finance and account management helps him to understand the client’s business needs, and enables him to bridge the gap between the creative needs of a marketing team and the CFO’s need for a return on investment. Always at home in the pages of a contract or talking business in the boardroom, Scott brings to the table a passion for entrepreneurship and a desire to make order out of chaos.
Stephanie Mullen
Owner | Producer
A Cleveland native, Stephanie thrives on seeing an idea come to life. From a seed in the mind to a living creation on screen, she guides all the moving parts of a production to bring it into reality. She loves the community and collaboration that is inherent in every successful production.
For the past 10 years she’s worked on a wide range of projects including films, TV shows, commercial and corporate projects, and documentaries. She has a special passion for travel and deep love for documentaries that tell real world stories in an inspiring way.
