Film is one of the most impactful mediums for sharing new perspectives through creative and compelling stories. We're excited to continue to develop and produce projects that bring seldom-heard stories to audiences across the world.
We're focused on producing documentaries (both short-form and feature) that tell both humanistic and naturalistic stories. We're also passionate photographers, and use our photography to capture the people and places we've visited.
If you're interested in learning more about any of these projects, please visit our connect page!
shorts and pilots
The Breakdown, 2023-present
We're currently pitching an original pilot script titled The Breakdown. Set just before a complete environmental collapse, the series follows a neighborhood in 2040s mid-city Los Angeles; their friendships, their struggles, and their stories.
Good Neighbors, 2023
Good Neighbors is a short thriller about a woman who attends a community meeting in her new neighborhood after experiencing a few disturbing events. During the meeting, she realizes that her neighbors are not there to help her.
Good Neighbors had its official world premiere at the LA Shorts Film Festival in 2025.
The Line We Carry, 2025-present
The Line We Carry is a documentary short that follows a group of outdoor educators through their experiences in the field.
Currently in the fundraising phase, this project is set to release in 2026.
#NotProudtoBe, 2020
This is a sizzle reel for a short documentary concept "#NotProudtoBe," which covers an on-campus movement in reaction to years of racial injustices on the campus of Colorado State University. It was directed and edited by Stevie Gray in March, 2020.
This film is not meant to lessen Colorado State University's credibility as an academic institution, but to show the scope and impact of on-campus racism at predominantly white institutions.

Camano Island Forest Preserve, 2020
It's no secret that one of our favorite things to do is venture into nature. Whenever we do, we always bring our cameras. This video is a short collection of footage we captured during our trip to the Camano Island Forest Preserve in Washington.
Silent Nature Loop
Created to play in the background of a presentation, party, or gallery, this silent nature loop has footage of wildlife and ecosystems from across North America!
sustainable film production
Sustainability is one of the most important and fastest-growing fields of this decade. It's imperative that we continue to think of creative solutions to combat the damage we're doing to our global ecosystems to ensure an equitable and safe future for the next generation of our planet.
Stevie spent over 2 years working professionally to manage and implement a global workforce development program that staffed and trained sustainability professionals in the film industry. That work continues to be a central part of our ongoing projects and initiatives in the film industry.
We've been grateful to be able to meet, work with, and compete with some of the most impressive minds in Los Angeles to think of new approaches to sustainability and global interculturalism. We're committed to restoring the native ecosystems in our home city to create a new and sustainable era for both the city of Los Angeles and the world.
independent production sustainability guide, 2022
Los Angeles is a global hub of film production. Depending on the production, hundreds of crew members may be required to shoot just seconds of usable footage that'll be seen in the final edit of a feature or show. These crews consume and dispose of massive amounts of single use plastic and emit carbon through the use of generators, machines, and production vehicles.
Currently, studios and independent production companies aren't incentivized to make their productions sustainable, and after countless hours on set, we believe that's a huge oversight. We created a set of independent sustainable solutions for small productions (the future leaders of the film industry).
collective: the global film initiative, 2021
The collective is a global film nonprofit concept that funds short film productions by underrepresented artists from across the world. Through monthly donor-based subscriptions, each selected project has a guaranteed grant of $10,000. Application criteria is based on a sustainable film production guideline modeled based on the United Nations 17 Sustainability Goals. Every donor votes to selected the yearly cohort of projects.
This concept was awarded third place in the USC Marshall Blackstone Launchpad Sustainability Challenge #2 and we were finalists in the 2021 Wrigley Sustainability Prize. For this pitch and competition, we were able to visit and learn at the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies.
#USCPlasticFree, 2021
Plastic overconsumption and pollution is one of the most important issues of this century. On college campuses like USC, the daily amount of single-use plastic waste is immense.
We were awarded first place in the USC Marshall Blackstone Launchpad Sustainability Challenge #1 for our concept and pitch of #USCPlasticFree, a model to make USC's campus businesses plastic-free by 2025 by distributing "zero waste kits" to all incoming students.
We also recommended the implementation of a university-wide land acknowledgment statement to recognize the indigenous tribes that once inhabited Southern California.

On the Road
We've been on quite a few roadtrips that often involve at least 16 hours of driving. We spend most of these trips talking about random topics that we find interesting; riddick and gray on the road is our little experiment to try and capture some of those conversations.
