In the midst of a busy spring, SCOUT’S HONOR screened *thrice* at SIFF to sold out theaters, and took home the Grand Jury Prize for a Live Action Short Film! This is one of the funnest sets we’ve ever been on, so to see the story stick the landing with such heart, humor, and polish has been incredible. Huge gratitude to @samipaley, @brennapower, @jasonmcruer, @ipask, and everyone who helped bring it to life. We’ve loved laughing with so many of you!If you haven’t caught the film yet, stay tuned and follow along @scoutshonorfilm. Excited to see where it goes next! 👀BTS 📸: @john_curry_photography by @offbeatseattle

Say hello to Kevin.Kevin is the star of Washington’s We Keep WA Litter Free campaign. And he helped DH help the Department of Ecology give litter prevention a fresh voice, one a hard-to-reach audience actually wants to watch. The message is simple. It's on all of us to Keep Washington clean. Secure your load, and keep a litter bag in the car. Small habits add up to a big difference. We shaped the creative strategy, wrote scripts, brought Kevin to life with our production partner Offbeat, refreshed the campaign’s web experience, and carried the work into radio and paid media across the state.Behavior change starts with getting people to pay attention. Kevin does exactly that.Since his commercial debut, Kevin has been popping up across the state. See him in action in his debut performance, and follow along for more Kevin content!Learn more: https://ecology.wa.gov/waste-toxics/solid-waste-litter/litter/litter-prevention/we-keep-wa-litter-free#BehaviorChange #LitterFree #SecureYourLoad by @offbeatseattle

This job is great because our collaborators are great!We’ve had a fun, busy spring celebrating past projects and working on new ones. It’s such a joy to debrief over dinner with clients after a successful shoot. It’s such a privilege to sit in a dark room and see an audience moved by a story. We were lucky to do a lot of both this quarter. Cheers to the friendships that persist past “That’s a wrap!” and “Final_FINAL v2” delivery.This community is so special and passionate and full of talent and we’re proud to be a part of it. Thanks for making stuff with us! 🤘and 🤟! by @offbeatseattle

From behind-the-scenes moments to the big screen 🎬✨I loved shooting BTS and promotional stills for Scout’s Honor (@scoutshonorfilm), and now seeing this beautiful short selected for the Florida Film Festival 2026 (@floridafilmfest) feels truly special.There’s something powerful about watching a film go from on-set magic—quiet focus around the monitor, clapperboards in motion, cast deep in character, crew building every frame—to its world premiere on April 12 & 16.These images are a glimpse into the passion that built this film. In these I see the energy on the set: the collaboration, the precision, the creativity, and the joy that filled every day of filming. The Florida Film Festival is a highly respected Oscar-qualifying festival now in its 35th year, and Scout’s Honor could not have found a more exciting stage.So proud to have documented the moments behind the movie magic. 📸🎥————————————Huge congratulations to the entire creative team for this well-deserved milestone. The team included: Isabel Pask, @ipask, Director; Jason McRuer, @jasonmcruer, Producer; Brenna Power, @brennapower, Producer/Actor; Sam Paley, @samipaley, Producer/Writer/Actor; Melanie Sudyn, @ann_melanie, 1st AD; Madison Wechsler Sanchez, @madisonjeanwechsler, 2nd AD; Sofia Poe, @ilypo, Script Supervisor/HMU; Danny Chastain, @dannychastain.dp, Director of Photography; Ilana Rahaman, @ilanarahaman, 1st AC/DIT.————————————#BTS #BTSPhotographer #BTSIndieFilmPhotographer #seattlephotographer by @offbeatseattle

Last fall, our friends at @wearedh came to us with a campaign concept centered around a road trip with two best friends. One just happens to be a marmot…named Kevin.The @ecologywa campaign includes six spots, three in English and three in Spanish, that aim to Keep WA Litter Free.We had an amazing time bringing Kevin’s world to life in collaboration with so many talented people, wrapping on Halloween as the leaves turned.Full PSA campaign coming soon, directed by @lael.j.rog & @peter_edlund—with Kevin the puppet created by @flyfolk.goods.

Presenting our new Offbeat Original…SCREEN TIMEA dinner conversation about phone addiction collapses as each guest literally disappears into their device.Thanks to everyone who helped bring this film to life—a story that, in the words of writer & director Bryan Campbell, is “a satirical exploration of our obsession with smartphones and the irony of how easily we fall into the habits we criticize.” But make it a dinner party!Seattle has an abundance of talented filmmakers, both established and up-and-coming, and we believe it’s important to get together and practice our skills, meet new collaborators, and have fun.Emma: @adaratoopLisa: @kelsiumekoDrew: @mrpedrozJames: @theraymondpowerTanya: @geerose21Written, Directed, & Edited by: @directorbryancProduced & Story by: @dannychastain.dpDirector of Photography: @cmossonProduction Designer: @kelly.june.mitchellHMU/Wardrobe & 1st AD: @lindseyjwatkinsVisual Effects Supervisor: @the_scherpRe-Recording Mixer & Sound Design: @davesound Colorist: @bentcowanSound Mixer: @brianppppGaffer: @_mlindbergB-Cam Operator: @ilanarahamanGrip: @finntbakerGrip: @adam.kubotaPA: @soleilbeares by @offbeatseattle
