The team
Who actually does the work
Placeholder Name
Founder, Director
Started MixFilm after eight years cutting other people's footage and watching good films die in delivery. Directs the long-form work and handles every first call personally.
Placeholder Name
Director of Photography
Shoots on Alexa and FX, prefers primes and available light. Has lit a roastery, a hospital ward and a restaurant mid-service without stopping any of them.
Placeholder Name
Editor
Cuts long and argues for it. Responsible for the seven-minute version of a film the client asked to be four, which is still the highest-retention piece on this site.
Placeholder Name
Colourist, Finishing
Grades in Resolve and builds the delivery LUTs clients use on their own phone content. Handles conform, QC and every platform spec so nothing bounces.
Before you ask
The five things everyone asks
You are not in my country. How does that work day to day?
We hold hours that overlap the US, UK and Australian working day, and we answer within one business day. Calls happen in your timezone, not ours. In practice you send notes at the end of your day and the next cut is waiting when you start the following one.
How many revisions do I get, and what happens if I need more?
Two rounds are included in every quote and are almost always enough, because you approve the treatment before we shoot. Further rounds are billed at a stated hourly rate that appears on the original quote, so it is never a surprise.
How do payments work?
Fifty per cent to book the dates, fifty on delivery. We invoice in your currency and accept bank transfer and card. Nothing is held hostage — you receive the files when the final invoice is paid, and the terms are on the quote before you sign.
Who owns the finished film?
You do, outright and worldwide, with no time limit and no media restrictions. The only exception is licensed music, where the licence terms are named on the quote before we use the track. We keep the right to show the work in our own portfolio unless you ask us not to.
What happens if the shoot goes wrong?
We carry backups of every critical piece of kit and record to two cards simultaneously wherever the camera supports it. If weather or access kills a shoot day, we reschedule at our cost. If we cannot deliver what the quote names, you do not pay for it.
I do not have a brief. Can you still quote?
Yes. Most of our projects start with a deadline and a rough goal rather than a brief. The thirty-minute call exists to turn that into a scope we can price.
Next step
Thirty minutes, in your timezone
Bring the deadline and the budget range. We will tell you on the call what it costs, how long it takes, and whether we are the right studio for it.
We overlap with US, UK and AU business hours.
