Team.
Original stories need committed people across every stage of production. Meet the creative foundation of Darkroom 99.
A stable core.
Flexible roles.
Darkroom 99 is being built as a dependable creative team, not a fresh collection of strangers on every set. Writers and directors can initiate stories; production, performance and technical collaborators help bring them to life.
Specific roles and credits are agreed for each film. As the team grows, we want to make space for new collaborators without losing the relationships that make the company possible.
