MARIA CARRERA
Executive Producer + AD
Panda is your first problem solver when you embark on your sureCAN journey. She figures out the needs, the wants, and the budget. She works magic to make the creative, the team, and the numbers all align. On set she keeps everyone on track in a way that doesn't make people want to kill her (99% of the time.) If you want to thank Panda after a successful shoot, she's always down for a wrap-negroni.
CHRISTIE CARRERA
Line Producer + Accountant
Shrub is sureCAN's most organized problem solver. She takes all of Panda's scribbles and rearranges them into the most put-together production you've ever seen. She makes sure everyone is up to speed on needs and expectations, and somehow remembers what everyone loves (and hates) to eat. Shrub is quietly thoughtful + always pays on time, which makes up for her unhealthy relationship with the label maker.
DAVID CANADA
Audio Engineer + Drone Pilot
Bunny is the ultimate idea-guy and the one who gets sureCAN all our fun toys. From cameras to walkies, he researches, budgets, and receives all sorts of nonsense. Outside the office Bunny is our audio engineer and drone pilot. He is also quite dangerous with a soldering iron, always inventing new gadgets that nobody needs, until you do.
SURECAN
A couple of sisters + a lifestyle choice.
Our name is also our motto, and the answer to every question. We sureCAN make that work. We sureCAN do it within budget. And we sureCAN keep both the quality + the level of fun HIGH.
We were raised to be problem solvers -- Most weekends Papa would host get-togethers with all ages, nationalities, and viewpoints, and we'd debate both community + world events and how we could make things better. Nobody was shut down. And everyone was invited. Sometimes it got loud -- but hey: we're Latin!
Today the family sends each other the daily Wordle (and the NYT Mini-Crossword, Connections, Frames, Quordle, math + logic puzzles... dare me to keep going) and Panda especially cannot live without her (Grandmaster level) Sudoku puzzles.
We think that's plenty, but if you need more info, here are a few highlights:
SWEET SPOT: Bring us your conundrums. You have a 100-Course Meal that needs to be shot in one day? We have you. (Pepcid.) You need an efficient template for an every-other-week 3-day shoot that can work for years? We've done that. (Best Buy.) You want to film with THAT client for HOW much money?? Twist our arm. (We signed an NDA.) Bottom line is WE LOVE IT. There is no better feeling than waking up at 3a because our brains were working while we were "on break" and that issue is SOLVED! Queen Midas has spun another problem child into pure gold!
PRODUCERS: Our clients know that if they come to sureCAN productions, they will work with the best producers. We are always organized, we are always under budget, and we are always efficient.
SUPPORT: Ask any of our clients + they will tell you that our call sheets, logistics documents, shooting schedules, and all other documents are the most detailed + EASY TO READ they've seen. Having both ends of that stick is no small feat, believe us. We work hard at being easy. (That's what she said.)
HIGHLY-EFFECTIVE, WELL-PRODUCED, + HIGH-QUALITY VIDEO CONTENT: We work with all budgets, in all capacities, making life easier for you. We thrive in figuring out the challenging, in solving the problems, and in suggesting the creative solutions that work within all confines. Basically, we work, we work hard, + we LIVE for our clients.
Come + play with us, and you'll wonder how you ever lived before you had some sureCAN in your life.
