The people behind the work

Two founders, one cutting room, and a small crew of people who care about the frame.

Who we are

Lodger Films is a Los Angeles production company built on a simple idea: the best work starts with a point of view, and survives every cut intact. For over a decade we've turned scripts into films, promos, and music videos that audiences remember.
