When going to a location, you need someone familar with the terrain. You can't expect to do everything and be everywhere.
In filmmaking you need a great team to come along side you and help. Let us be your local connection to the DC area market.
We are here to serve you in many various roles. From Production Management to Location Scouting.
Whatever you need - we can pull together the team to do it!

The DC area film market is on the rise and local area professionals are waiting to serve you in your quest to film in our area.
Save the money you would have to pay to bring someone from across the country - and hire locally. We'll get the job done!

At OAP Films we want to share the knowledge and experience we have gained and hope to help others in their film making dreams.
By sharing our experiences, hopefully we can help others avoid some of the hardships and mistakes that can arise in film making.

Keep watch here and on our Facebook page (link on top of this page), to see when our next seminar will be.
In the meantime make sure to visit our Film Making Blog for more info.

Until then, go EXPRESS YOUR INDIE!
