SQUINT is a video production company based in Philadelphia but working anywhere our projects take us.

We are filmmakers, first and foremost, who are passionate about the art of moving pictures. We focus on the important things, story and form, preferring a no frills style of production. Also:

  • We prefer handmade things.

  • We prefer surprising things.

  • We prefer moving things.

These hypothetical things come in the form of branded films, commercials, music videos, movies, or something else in-between. The goal is to meet your goals, while also adding another beautiful thing to the world. We believe those should go hand in hand.
