Check out our BTS for Ricky Staub's "The Cage", featured now on Filmsupply. It was an honor to work with Ricky and the Neighborhood Film Co. on this incredible short!

The set for ‘The Cage’ was anything but typical. With vines, a visual effects supervisor, nonactors, and hiring the formerly incarcerated as crew members — the mission behind this film reflects so much of the mission within it. Watch ‘The Making of The Cage’ by Vita Brevis Films.
