We're Inspired By
Dead Poets Society

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

"No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world."

"To quote from Whitman, 'O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?' Answer. That you are here — that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

What will our verse be?

Our Five Pillars

01

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. No matter what.

Our team consists only of those who are both incredibly passionate about film and storytelling and who are excellent at what they do.

Regarding the productions we make, we will make one quality production over ten mediocre productions.

02

The "experience" Matters

We're not only focusing on creating experiences for our audiences through high-quality storytelling, but we set out to ensure each of our projects is a wonderful experience for our cast/crew.

Some of the best parts of our journey will be the amount of fun we have in all aspects of production together.

03

The best idea always wins

Ideas are what will shape this company.

No matter the department, role, or individual, everyone's voice matters in Moon Era, from the director to the set designer to the lighting technician to the production assistant.

04

Creativity built on candor

If we can't be honest with each other, we're already doomed.

The only way to successfully collaborate in a creative environment is to be able to provide different ideas/perspectives, constructive criticism, and honest opinions.

At the end of the day, it's not about how much credit any individual obtains. It's about the quality in our storytelling as a community of passionate filmmakers.

05

make our lives extraordinary

In every single production, trip, long shooting day, late night, early morning, meal we share, film festival we win, festival we lose, amazing picture we make, fail we have, last-minute change, stressful rush to hit a deadline, laugh we have on set, tear we cry on or off set, good idea we celebrate, bad idea we let go of, creative collaboration we share, painful critique we get, positive encouragement we give, and every task we set out to do.

We vow to make our lives extraordinary. And to enjoy contributing our verse to the play. And ultimately, to love others well and leave the world a better place.
