                                is an award winning production company based in los angeles. 

 

Joe Staehly and Yanni Rozes, a director-producer combo, are true storytellers at heart. They both discovered their love of film early on, through the lens of some old family camcorders, igniting a spark within them. That same spark would later inspire them go on to create Set In Motion together.

 

For over a decade, Joe and Yanni have dedicated themselves to a singular goal: to craft experiences that linger long after the screen fades to black.
