Storytailors were incredibly dialed from day one through the last – from helping assemble our production crew in Seoul, to navigating our 16-hour time zone difference with grace and ease, to translating Korean interviews in post – they truly were an extension of our creative production team in Portland.
The Storytailors team were an immense support on a remote project that started with many moving pieces. We ultimately shot with a brilliant team in Bolivia who were thorough and a pleasure to work with.
Working with Storytailors on our recent film in Cambodia was an efficient, helpful, and creatively collaborative experience. The Storytailors team understood what our specific goals were and matched us with skilled artists, with intimate knowledge and connection to the local community we were interested in capturing.
Paul Lungu kindly supplied us with fixers and crews for a series of short charity films that we made in four European countries. Everything was dealt with very efficiently and the crews and fixers were friendly and helpful. The project was particularly challenging because of the Covid pandemic but everything passed without a hitch.
Storytailors were great in facilitating an overseas shoot in South Korea during lockdown. It was a tricky brief, with lots of moving parts and the guys helped us find solutions at every turn.
