What We Do

Two disciplines under one roof — independent film production and new media — handled end to end, from first concept through final delivery.

🎬

Independent Film Production

Auteur-driven narrative and documentary work produced by a seasoned Los Angeles crew. Development, principal photography, and post — with creative control kept in the filmmaker's hands.

📺

New Media Production

Storytelling built for the platforms audiences actually watch. Web series, short-form content, and streaming-ready programming produced with the same care as our feature work.

🎥

Web Video Production

Concept, shoot, and edit for promos, brand films, and social video. Cinematic craft scaled to a web audience and delivered in the formats you need.

🌐

Websites & SEO

Websites and search-optimized digital presence for artists, brands, and productions — so the work gets seen once the cameras stop rolling.

Post-Production

Editing, color, and sound finishing for our own productions and for outside filmmakers who need a finishing partner they can trust.

🤝

The 2026 production landscape

Why the moment favors a founder-led, full-service studio like Lockett Productions.

Production is back in LA

Los Angeles logged 5,121 on-location shoot days in Q1 2026 — up 10.7% from late 2025 — as California's expanded film & TV tax incentive drew production back to the region. For a studio based in the Los Angeles area, that means more work, more locations, and more collaborators nearby. Source: FilmLA Q1 2026 report; industry analysis.

A booming indie market

Worldwide spending on films budgeted under $5M grew from roughly $880M to $1.22B — strong demand for the independent, auteur-driven productions at the core of what Lockett Productions builds end to end. Source: industry analysis.

Studio-grade, reaching direct

Falling LED-volume rental rates and AI-assisted editing and VFX put studio-grade tools within reach of a full-service team, while creators reach audiences directly through email lists, memberships, and private screenings — the exact new-media channels we produce for. Source: industry analysis.
