Our Process

The Prodigium line producing and production management team will work with you to understand the scope and specific needs of your project (story, world, investment ceiling, ROI assumptions, tax credits, cashflow constraints, cast expectations, etc.).

Tobias Deml, Hiroki Kamada, and the Prodigium team expand your ideas with imagination, storytelling skills,  and a passion for video production. It’s what we love.

After we completely understand your vision and prior commitments within the project specifications, we'll work with you side by side to develop a detailed preliminary budget and schedule that will satisfy any potential investor or EP.

After your preliminary budget is complete, we can help with budget adjustment, vendor qualification and overall financial planning. And if you're looking for a production services partner, we are happy to execute the budget and schedule we've built.
