A film production or commercial production is a lot like a spoken story. Ask 10 different people to relay all the same the facts of a story and still, you’ll get 10 unique versions of that story. The same goes for film, television and commercial directors. So when you choose a production company, you’ll want to make sure that it can deliver a director who will not only share your vision for your project, but help you improve it.

Digital Video Arts offers much more than production studios and post production suites and services. Our Directors Resource program matches you and your project with the right director chosen from dozens of highly skilled and talented film production and commercial production professionals and production companies nationwide. Over the years, DVA has established strong working relationships with top film, television and commercial directors throughout the Southeast and in major markets across the country. Tell us what you’re imagining for your project and we’ll connect you with a director whose style and creative abilities perfectly complement that vision, whether it’s a feature length documentary or film production, commercial production or Internet production.

Choosing the right director is key to your film production or commercial production’s success because he or she is the primary influencer of the project’s look, pacing and feel. The director sets the tone for the entire project via his or her selection of on-camera or voice talent, digital video equipment specifications, post production applications and more. But directors are a dime a dozen. Yours should be chosen as carefully as you would choose an on-camera spokesperson. DVA can help. We’ve created hundreds of film productions and commercial productions and spent thousands of hours in production studios with scores of talented production professionals. We’ve got a real knack for matching the right project with the right professionals.

Besides directors, DVA has access to a broad range of talent including actors, voice over artists, producers, cinematographers, casting directors, musicians, etc. Our in-house production professionals are top-notch. But if your project calls for a unique style or skill set not represented at DVA, chances are we know the right outside professional.

Don’t leave your project’s success to chance by hiring the boss’ fresh-out-of-film-school nephew or friend of a friend. Take advantage of DVA’s years of success as a top Florida production company and let us help you choose all the best players for your film or commercial production. Contact us today at 888-340-1010 or via our online email form. We’re looking forward to working with you on your next film production or commercial production project.

Jacksonville film production buffs, look out for the launch of Jacksonville.com’s Cinemania, a community-based group of amateur and professional Florida videographers and filmmakers working to hone their skills. Led by longtime screenwriter Sharon Cobb, the group is designed to help amateur Florida filmmakers and videographers launch their careers and make the jump from part-time purveyors of short films to full time Florida film production professionals.

The group debuts Monday, Feb. 15 with a screening of the four top winners of the 2010 Doorpost Film Project, an annual short film competition. The event takes place at the Five Points Theatre, 1022 Park Street in the Five Points neighborhood of Jacksonville’s Riverside district. Admission is free, but get there early to make sure you’ve got a seat.

The films showing are:

•    The Butterfly Circus, a touching, Great Depression-era story of a circus showman leading his troupe through the America’s devastated landscape, inspiring and being inspired along the way by a cast of characters including a quadriplegic whom they befriend at a carnival sideshow;
•    La Premiere, the story of the Lumiere Brothers, Auguste and Louis, credited with taking motion pictures from the tiny Kinetiscope to the big screen – the invention of the cinema as we know it today;
•    The Rift, a metaphorical tale about a man who wakes up in a dark, despair-ridden place that he fears is Hell and learns a lesson in how one act of love can change the course of a person’s life;
•    Guest Room, a character-driven drama about a man who finds another beaten and passed out at a remote highway rest stop and decides to help, launching a friendship and a journey that proves the people who have the greatest impact on our lives can be the ones we least expect to matter at all.

Cinemania plans monthly film events including film-related workshops and stage screenplay readings, discount screenings of feature films, independent films and films by Florida film production companies Jacksonville video production professionals.
