This past Monday, we held the official first screening for Compendium V which featured our short film, ‘No Place Like Home.’ It was a long and arduous journey to get to the final product but, I have to say, when it was complete we were in awe of our final film! The opportunity that was presented to us to create [...]

This past week we listened to the ‘almost’ final sound mix for our Compendium production of ‘No Place Like Home.’ The journey from pre-production to this moment has been a long and arduous one, but totally worth all of the hard work the team has put into making this production.
