Unreel Philosophy
…It's about telling the best stories we can tell, and coming out for the better through the experience…
Film is an incredibly versatile medium and can have profound effect on the human experience. There are virtually no limitations. Anything you imagine, anything you dream of can come to life with film. Because this medium is so incredibly powerful, the stories we tell and the means in which we tell them is unbelievably important. What is the saying..."with great power, comes great responsibility." Well, this is exactly what Unreel Films is about.
Hello, my name is Eric Mann and I founded Unreel Films, LLC back in 2013. The joy of creating work that not only inspires me and my team, but also can help transcend the watcher to a place where they themselves feel inspired to create, and explore the very essence of their truest self, is the lifeblood of this company. It's about integrity, it's about getting to the heart, it's about passion, free play, creativity, beauty, and fun. All the work that is put into film comes out in the wash for the viewer and their experience. When we let go of the ego, we are free to play from a place that is much deeper than thinking, much deeper than the ups and downs of our emotions - there is a divinity in our creative spirit, and when you trust that, all the boundaries fall away. Film acts as a conduit to express this very spirit.
It's about telling the best stories we can tell, and coming out for the better through the experience. Thank you for visiting this website and being a part of the Unreel family.

The Process
-
Dream it.
Pre-Production/Concept Development:
The blank-canvas phase where we craft the ideas, run trial-and-errors, PLAY, create, and get it all down to the nitty gritty.
The best part of this phase is the ability to move into pure potential, pure play. Often times with one expectation unfolding into something completely astonishing.
-
Collect it.
Production:
The phase that manifests the dream into reality - there is a magic here when all the elements come together whether it is a film, documentary, commercial, social, or wedding. We can scale up or down depending on the budget, and work closely to co-create the magic of the day.
-
Build it.
Post-Production:
The final phase where all the intention from the beginning to end culminates into the final product. Each detail of the visuals, audio, music, graphics, animation, and/or more get layered in to craft a unique final product. It’s been a joy to co-create with so many amazing clients, organizations, artists, entrepreneurs, businesses, and more to bring these products to life. Thank you from each of us here at Unreel.
