Let Us Help You Make Your Mark
Brand Manifesto
We believe every creative voice deserves to be seen, heard, and remembered. We exist to help filmmakers stand out; to rise above the noise, book the next job, and carve their name into Hollywood’s long history.
We reject assembly-line gear and indifferent mega-vendors. Everything we craft is one-of-a-kind, born from the same grind and grit you bring to set.
Founded by a working Director of Photography, we live the long days, the overnights, And the long drives home at wrap. We know what survives the rigors of production and what gets tossed after the first take. So we build slates that are both luxury-grade and production-ready. Bold in design, rugged in hand, and ready to slap a thousand times without flinching.
We pour 110 percent into every project, because that’s what every project deserves.
No matter your budget, no matter your title, we treat your indie like an A-list Production.
Opening a Scorched box feels like unwrapping an award: anticipation, awe, and the electric urge to show everyone on set. We aim for joy, wonder, and the quiet swagger that comes from holding something extraordinary.
Our future is a stage lit for every storyteller; where bold ideas get the spotlight and the smallest crews feel like million-dollar productions.
If you’re ready to leave your mark, we’re ready to craft the slate that carries it.
