Framework Films

What Framework Films does

Framework Films, LLC is a Los Angeles (Venice)-based, full-service visual media agency founded in 2019 that provides end-to-end creative production services for enterprise technology firms, entertainment companies, marketing agencies, and venture-backed startups. The company operates across four core service lines: full-service media production from concept through post-production, specialty cinematics (FPV drones, aerial cinematography, RED cinema, motion control, VR 360), brand strategy and concept development, and technology startup services such as VC pitches, decks, and brand launches. Named customers include Microsoft, Google, Apple, Netflix, Condé Nast, A24, Live Nation, Fox Nation, Greenpeace, VÆRIDION, Azuki, Discovery, Viacom, the Olympic Channel, NBC, The Economist, and The New Yorker, spanning technology, entertainment, media/publishing, aerospace, consumer brands, and nonprofit sectors.

The company's technical stack centers on specialty cinematography hardware: DJI Inspire 3 and Freefly Alta X heavy-lift aerial systems, custom-built FPV quadcopters capable of up to 100mph, RED cinema cameras with raw workflows, motion control platforms, and FAA Part 107 certified drone operations backed by $10M aviation liability coverage. Production capabilities extend to UHD 8K+, ProRes RAW, CinemaDNG, hyperlapse, timelapse, Steadicam, and underwater cinematography, supported by in-house post-production including VFX, motion graphics, color grading, and audio engineering. The firm maintains a licensable UHD stock footage library and operates a globally distributed team with regional support across Southern California, the US Southeast, Europe, and Australia.

Framework Films generates revenue through three primary streams: project-based professional services with custom quotes (typically 50% deposit at contract signing, 50% upon delivery), stock footage licensing priced by project type and distribution scope, and extended retainer engagements for ongoing content and platform development. Distribution is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement with discovery calls and bespoke proposals; pricing is opaque and quotes are tailored to scope, timeline, and complexity. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding and operates with 11–50 employees under an LLC structure.
