Websites for film and TV production companies
The work speaks for itself.
Your website should let it.
We work with film and television production companies, documentary studios, and commercial production houses whose site no longer matches the calibre of their slate. If the portfolio is out of date, adding a project takes a developer, or the site does not hold up when a network or a financier looks you up, that is the problem we solve.
What problem do we solve?
Before a meeting gets taken, someone looks you up. A commissioning editor, a distributor, a financier, a brand looking for a production partner. They land on your site, scan the slate, and decide in under a minute whether you are the company they thought you were. You will never hear about the meetings that did not happen because of what they saw.
An outdated site does not just look neglected. It undercuts the credibility your credits have already earned, at exactly the moment it matters most.
The good news is it is a fixable problem.
What we do for production companies
Most production companies we work with are dealing with one of three situations. Here is how we approach each one.
Foundation
The platform is often the real problem. The site is slow, hard to update, and increasingly difficult to build on. Design is part of the issue, but it is rarely the whole story.
We assess what you have and build what you actually need. That might mean migrating from WordPress to a platform that gives your marketing team real control. It might mean rebuilding what exists, or restructuring a Webflow site that was set up poorly. In every case, the result is the same: a clean, scalable foundation that your business can grow on.
Maintenance and Support
You have a marketing person in-house or you work with SEO agency. What you do not have is a developer.
We sit alongside your team as the technical resource. New pages, CMS updates, design changes, performance fixes. You brief us, we build it. No agency overhead, no hiring process, no waiting three weeks for a small update.
Growth Management
Once the site is live, it needs ongoing work to keep bringing in business. If there is no marketer in-house yet, that work usually does not happen.
We run a monthly plan for your Webflow site covering conversion optimization, Modern SEO, performance monitoring, and Zero Drift, which keeps your business described the same way everywhere. Content production supports the SEO work. You can start with one service and add more later, and every plan runs in monthly cycles with reporting.
Fantastic Experience with Rapid Fire Web
I was really happy with the work Karina and her team did; the website looks fantastic. They were collaborative, creative, and quick to respond throughout the entire process. It felt easy working with them, and they consistently went above and beyond to deliver. Rapid Fire Web is a great company, and I’d definitely hire them again.
Which Production Companies Do We Work With?
We work best with production companies between 10 and 150 people, with an active slate and a track record, where the founder, executive producer, or head of development has reached the point where the website is holding the company back. The pain is usually specific: a site built years ago that still leads with old projects, a portfolio nobody on the team can update, or a brand that has matured while the site stayed where it was.
This is not the right fit for every company. If you are looking for the cheapest path to a new site, or a one-off build with no ongoing relationship, we are probably not your best option. We perform best with companies that want a partner who stays involved after launch and keeps the site current as the slate grows.

Do We Get What It Takes to Build a Website for a Production Company?
The portfolio is the pitch. Project pages, reels, stills, credits, and press have to be structured so a visitor finds the relevant work in two clicks. We build the slate as a proper CMS, not a gallery bolted onto a brochure, so every project has the space it deserves.
Video and imagery are heavy. A site built around trailers, full-bleed stills, and background video will crawl if it is built carelessly. Hosting choices, lazy loading, and image handling decide whether the work plays or the visitor leaves while it buffers.
The slate changes, and the site has to keep up. A new project wraps, a series gets picked up, an award lands. Adding it should take a producer ten minutes in the CMS, not a ticket to a developer. Otherwise the site is always a season behind.
The audience is small and the stakes are high. You are not chasing traffic. You are convincing a short list of networks, distributors, financiers, and brands that you are the right partner. Every page is a credibility check, and the design has to carry the same standard as the work it presents.
How engagement works
Every engagement starts the same way: a direct conversation with our founder, Karina Demirkilic.
Discovery
We look at where your site is falling short, what your team needs day to day, and where the business is trying to go. No assumptions. By the end of that call, we have a clear picture of your situation and can tell you honestly which of our services applies.
Scope and options
Based on what we learn, we define the scope and present your options. That might be a platform migration and redesign, maintenance support, growth management, or a combination. You choose what fits your current needs. Nothing is pushed on you.
Kickoff
Once the engagement is confirmed, you are assigned a dedicated project coordinator. They keep the work on track, ensure communication is timely, and make sure no request falls through the cracks. You always know what is happening and who to contact.
Delivery
We do what we said we would do. Template-based builds take 2 to 4 weeks. Custom builds take 2 to 4 months, from strategy to handoff and training. Maintenance engagements can run on a defined monthly retainer or on an ad hoc basis, depending on what your team needs. Growth management runs on a monthly cycle with clear deliverables each period. Where monitoring and reporting are part of the scope, you get a consistent view of what is working, what has changed, and what comes next.
No guesswork, no chasing us for updates.
Managing and regularly updating historical information using informative webpages has been a challenging but rewarding experience. I did not have the expertise to make it work in a practical and useful way. As a birthday present, my children arranged to hire Karina to come up with a workable solution - she designed and built an incredible history saving machine that has grown with time to the point that over 1.9 million visitors have dropped in to have a look at the web pages. ...
... I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to have a site built for themselves. Should you choose to make use of her skills, you will be well served.
The BEST team for my Website Development
I’ve been working with Karina since the very beginning of our website, almost four years now, and she has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She and her team are incredibly responsive, professional, and easy to collaborate with via email. They make everything seamless and give me examples since I'm not an expert in this field. I’m based in California and my only wish is that I could work with Karina on even more projects. I can’t recommend her and her team enough!
Everything You Need to Know
We’ve gathered the questions we hear most often to make sure you feel confident before moving forward.
Yes. That is the core of how we build for production companies. Each project is a CMS entry with fields for synopsis, credits, stills, trailer, awards, press, and status. Adding a new title is a ten-minute job for anyone on the team. No developer, no ticket, no waiting.
Video stays on Vimeo, YouTube, your own or third-party hosting and streams in. Stills are compressed and served in modern formats and loaded only when they come into view. Background video, where it is used, is short, muted, and sized for the web. The goal is a site that feels cinematic and still loads in under two seconds on a phone.
Yes. Projects can sit in the CMS as drafts until you are ready to publish, or be marked "in development" with limited detail. We can also build a password-protected section for slates you want to show selectively to financiers or buyers without making them public.
We understand what the site has to do for the business. We have built for production companies before and we know the difference between a portfolio meant for the public and a slate meant for a distributor. We will not pretend to know your development process better than you do. We will make sure the site never gets in the way of it.
Lighter than for a publisher, but it still matters. Most production clients move to a maintenance arrangement after launch: new projects, seasonal refreshes, a redesign of a section when the brand evolves, performance checks before a festival or a market when traffic spikes. You get a named coordinator, and the site stays current without anyone on your team thinking about it.
