From there, the floodgates opened and the waters of creativity rushed from project to project, and gig to gig. Click below to find out more about what SHB has been up to over the years!”
“We make film and theatre productions. Then we make stuff for you to proclaim that you saw what we made. Every item purchased through our shop tells us you support our work, and lets us keep creating! Trust us: a tee shirt is a great conversation starter.”
“If you are involved with training, marketing, or getting in touch with potential clients at your place of work, you may at a point think something along the lines of “I wish we could just show them a video to relay all the information they need to know.” Then after you make your wish you realize you would need a team of people to gather the info, write the script, organize the cast and crew, and direct the thing. Then a genie shows up and tells you he isn’t the man for the job, but he puts you in touch with us!
Swamphatched Butterfly Productions works with independently established businesses to plan, write, organize, direct, and produce films for in-house use. These may be films to show employees: such as short training films, crafted to be timeless so they can be shown for years. These may be films to show clients: such as videos that summarize what you business does or inform clients about your mission. For your in-house film we can do any/all combination of the writing, directing, and producing. We will coordinate with you and your business to clarify purpose and desired content, distill the information to write a script, organize cast and crew, plan a shoot schedule, and direct the project.”
