Hi there, we’re Zemma—

a dynamic filmmaking duo based in Los Angeles offering full-service video production.

Experience informs our approach.

Storytelling is our passion and filmmaking is our skill. Our mission is to make an impact on viewers by engaging them emotionally. Below are the aspects of the creative process we focus on to anchor our approach.

Passion

We believe that for any creative work to make an impact, passion is required. This is because when you speak from the heart, you speak to the heart. Our mission is to generate empathy in the world, and it is both professional and personal.

Story

Story has the power to generate empathy in a viewer's heart and understanding in their mind at the speed of light. As such, we make story both the wellspring of our ideas and the roots of our logistics. From it, all flows forth.

Curiosity

As humans, we have no choice but to evolve. So as filmmakers, we have a deep need to explore and discover innovative ways to communicate ideas with sight and sound. The result is work that is both fresh and accessible.

Efficiency

As artists and entrepreneurs, we understand how to use resources wisely. It is why we continually strive to strike a balance between each production's budget, schedule, and grade to maximize the overall project’s value.

Collaboration

Film production is a team effort, and we welcome input from our partners every step of the way. We believe more collaboration is always better than less. We’re interested in building lasting relationships upon foundations of trust.

Strategy

We work closely with our clients to determine the purpose, audience, and distribution of every project. Together, we develop a list of deliverables to fit the format, dimensions, and duration of the platform where the content will be shared.

 Consistency anchors our relationships.

We have earned the ongoing trust of our partners by consistently delivering quality products on time, on budget, and on brand.
