Lumberwitch handles budgeting, casting, production, post and final delivery for platforms and producers worldwide. Real actors stay at the centre. AI expands the world when the story needs it.

Built for remote clients
One Vancouver team from budget to delivery.
You should not have to manage casting, crew, locations, photography and post from another country. Lumberwitch builds and runs the local production, with clear approvals, reporting and one point of responsibility.
When the story needs locations or worlds that the schedule cannot support, our AI-hybrid workflow expands what can appear on screen while keeping the actors and photography real.

We film the actors.
AI expands the world.
Our AI-hybrid workflow begins with actors, direction and controlled photography. It can unlock locations, scale and visual range that live-action set-ups cannot always support.
Every workflow is scoped before photography, with client approval, performer consent and source tracking built into the production plan.

Production ready
One city. A wide range of worlds.
Vancouver brings experienced crews, strong casting, established production infrastructure and locations that can play across genres. Remote clients stay close to the work through agreed approval points, production updates and cost reporting.
07 / Performance first
Fast production should never feel rushed on screen.
Vertical drama lives in the close-up. We protect casting, chemistry, pacing and emotional turns while maintaining a production rhythm built for serialized storytelling.
Efficiency matters. The moment still has to work.
