Collaboration is not something we take lightly.
Over the past two years, I’ve personally felt an elevated experience to collaboration and the creative process, because we are no longer bound by the limitations of time zones or miles between us.
Doors magically opened, and I’ve had the opportunity to meet more brilliant clients and collaborators in these two years than was traditionally possible.
Most recently, I’ve been lucky to be back in the studio, now filled with familiar sounds – excited voices elevating as ideas build, colleagues and clients sharing laughter, or the celebration of a locked cut – allowing me to witness collaboration in a way that we never considered, with half of the team on a screen and the other half in person.
We’re settling into a balance we’ve been negotiating for two years. The passionate spirit of creativity and filmmaking remains a tangible force.
In this issue, we celebrate the product of that force: our clients’ stories manifested across platforms – from this year’s Academy and CAS-Award winning documentary, Summer of Soul, to a lineup of Superbowl and Olympics campaigns to eight Sundance and SXSW films. In addition to this, we are happy to announce we are set to open in London this summer and continue to grow our global picture post talent roster.
This publication is our monthly love letter to you, our Harbor collaborators, and colleagues, and all that you do to support our clients’ stories from set to screen. With that, I hope you enjoy this issue.
