Made in Fremont.
We started in this neighborhood.
Fremont Filmworks was founded in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, an arts district that still runs on the energy of working artists, makers, and small businesses doing things their own way. That neighborhood DNA is baked into how we work: hands-on, deliberate, and locally rooted.
Trained at Seattle Film Institute
Our foundation comes from Seattle Film Institute, a rigorous, craft-first film school that trains working cinematographers, editors, and directors. We studied cinematic language, lighting theory, editorial rhythm, and post-production workflow. That training shows up in every project we take on, from a small business brand film to a full wedding production.
We didn't learn this from YouTube tutorials or weekend workshops. We learned it frame by frame.
What "cinematic" actually means to us
It's not a filter. It's not a camera model. Cinematic filmmaking is about intention: in the framing, in the light, in the edit, in the sound. It means asking what a scene needs to feel like and then building every technical decision around that answer.
We bring that same question to a wedding in Leavenworth, a coffee roastery in Capitol Hill, and a sculptor's studio in our own neighborhood.
How we run a production
Every project starts with a discovery conversation, not a pricing sheet. We want to understand what you're making before we tell you how we'd make it. From there, we build a production plan: shot lists, schedule, creative direction. When we show up on set, nothing is left to chance.
Post-production is handled entirely in-house: editorial, color grading, sound design, and music licensing. You get a final film, not a rough cut you have to finish somewhere else.
