We are Committee Films. And we’ll go to the ends of the Earth to make magic for you. Of course, we mean this figuratively. Well, literally too. (No, not the very non-literal kind of “literally” people literally use these days in every sentence. Wait.)
It’s like this: We’ve shot in dozens of countries, like Nepal, China, Ghana, Turkey, Chile and even Canada. (Oh, come on, Canada. You can take a joke, eh?) We’ve also filmed on six of seven continents. (We’re coming for you next, Antarctica!) We’ve been to Everest, Easter Island, and the driest place on the planet—twice. Which, by the way, is the Atacama desert. Pro tip: Don’t bring pretzels as your snack.
We’ve even talked to a serial killer (for real), helped the FBI identify a bombing suspect (for real) and hunted for Bigfoot (for real—even though he very well might not be). And when we’re not chasing down monsters, we’re making commercials for brands like Target, Best Buy, Walmart and Sperry.
Our founders, Andy and Maria, come from two very different worlds: Andy, a film and commercial director and editor. Maria, an award-winning investigative journalist. (Andy wants you to know he won some awards, too.) With these two disparate backgrounds, it’s no wonder one week we’re talking to a serial killer and the next we’re shooting a commercial for Target.
Finally, our mission statement is: We can do it better. This, of course, applies to everything we do (aside from coming up with a new mission statement). And we’d love to do it better for you.
We’ll see you at the end of the Earth. Or Antarctica.
