Capabilities

From the first page to the final delivery.

Third Door Films is a genre studio built end to end. We develop, finance, produce, finish, and prepare feature films for the market: under one roof.

01 — Development

Development

The work that decides whether everything that follows is possible. We sharpen scripts, build packages, and pressure-test plans before money moves.

  • Script development and notes
  • Packaging — creative team, key cast outreach
  • Budgeting and scheduling
  • Financing support and waterfall modeling
  • Pitch decks, look books, and proof-of-concept materials

02 — Feature Film Production

Feature Production

Physical production run with studio discipline at indie velocity. The plan you approved is the plan we shoot and the one you see in dailies.

  • Physical production and on the ground production management
  • Crew, locations, and vendor coordination
  • Insurance ready paperwork and risk workflows
  • Department head sourcing and union/non-union staffing
  • Safety, intimacy, and stunt protocols

03 — Post & Delivery

Post & Delivery

Where horror is finally tuned. Sound, picture, and timing aligned to the same intention — and packaged to whatever spec the buyer asks for.

  • Post supervision across editorial, sound, and color
  • VFX and DI coordination
  • QC pass and technical compliance
  • Festival and distributor deliverables
  • Archival masters and access copies

04 — Distribution Support

Distribution Support

We don't promise outcomes. We promise that when a buyer says yes, everything they need is already ready and traceable.

  • Sales materials and EPK coordination
  • Trailer and key-art workflow support
  • Deliverables tracking against buyer specs
  • Release planning support across windows
  • Festival submissions and screening logistics

Incentive-aware

Built around what qualifies.

We build budgets and schedules with applicable production incentives in mind from day one, with documentation workflows that hold up to audit. Vendors and department heads are sourced to maximize qualifying spend where it makes sense, with full transparency on what does and doesn't qualify.

We're modest about this on purpose — incentives change, applications take time, and outcomes aren't guaranteed. What we can guarantee is a clean paper trail.
