Uh, Bean
What?
BEAN DOG is a full-service production partner with a curated roster of next-gen commercial filmmakers. We create a trusting environment with creative backstops for our talent to produce powerful work for clients.
What's a Bean Dog? Just a nickname for our three-legged mutt, Tilly. She's a lover and a fighter; always going hard for the ball, hard for your love, and hard for adventure. Any struggle she faces by nature of her constitution is met with remarkable ingenuity. We borrowed the moniker to live up to the high bar she sets for getting after it and showing up to the world with max enthusiasm, moxie, and heart.
Our Values
1
be relentless
Tilly models the kind of hustle and all-in attitude we aspire to live up to every day at work. We work with a team of hustlers that show up to each day and each project with full-throttle effort and a grateful heart. Bean Dog Films is about summoning something gnarly and beautiful from within to make excellent content with a positive attitude, fresh perspective, and a little je ne sais pas.

authentic
attitude
If we don’t think your project needs two cameras or a techno crane or Derek Jeter as primary talent, we’ll tell you that in our treatment. If we do think your project needs two cameras and a techno crane and Derek Jeter as primary talent, we’ll tell you that too. You can expect us to keep it ambitious while keeping it real.

designed to scale
Like one of those kiddo washcloths that expand in bathwater, our organization is designed to scale. We power up with anywhere from 10 to 100 quality crew to meet the gig’s demands. Looking for a script? Gear? Pre-pro? Day-players? The full monty? We got a team for that.
4
better together
Diversity is dynamic. For every project, we commit to hiring half the picture: a parity of highly qualified crew that we hope carves a little more room for women to make a living wage and thrive in the film industry. Depth on the bench makes our work 200% better. Women and people of color make up way more than half the picture on planet earth, our sets (and yours) should reflect that makeup.
We are also building a community within. Our directors have committed to giving back to each other. Whether in the treatment process, the problem-solving stage of preproduction, or a full team feedback session in post, the network has been built with a we are better together mentality. And we really are.

be a good human
From pre-production to the final edit, we hope our clients and vendors walk away from the creative process feeling respected, valued, and (gasp!) like they had a little fun along the way. Good vibes are contagious.
