Who we are
Alex Sagona
Alex turns founder-led companies into category leaders through sharp, conversion-driven messaging. He holds an MFA in creative writing, has been published in Colorado Review and The Normal School, and brings literary craft to commercial work. His short films have screened at Channel 101 and the BAFTA-accredited Short Com.
Satoshi Takekuma
Satoshi came to production from consulting and analytics. He brings the operational discipline of complex client engagements to creative work: scoping, scheduling, and budget control.
Brian Hajik
Born and raised in Chicago, Brian pairs an entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for the creative. A Director of Photography by profession, he wears many hats, including producer, production manager, and, as most would describe him, the facilitator of fun. He has worked in film and television for over two decades and enjoys nothing more than collaborating with the best professionals in the business to exceed client expectations.
Patrick Prater
Pat is the most experienced member of the team, with three decades in the film business. He brings levity to every set while leading crews with determination and care. Ask him his favorite part of directing and he'll joke about how much he loves his megaphone. He believes in treating everyone with respect, and the sets he manages are always places people want to work.
Dana Michelle Cook
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dana has lived in Spain and Argentina and now calls Chicago home. A UC Santa Barbara graduate, she has worked at MTV and the Montecito Picture Company alongside Ivan Reitman, managing branded content for Warner Brothers, Disney, and Paramount Studios.
Lori Fimoff
Lori brings over ten years of experience in video production and storytelling, plus a background in digital marketing and sales. She creates work that looks great and engages audiences through the unique power of stop-motion animation, turning a client's message into measurable conversions.
