Jamie & Nick

We’re the first people you meet and the last ones rolling up the cables. After more than a decade of working, creating, and growing together, we’ve built a partnership that balances instinct, taste, and execution. One of us leads with vision, the other with precision—both committed to making work that feels alive.

We collaborate because we sharpen each other. We listen closely, push ideas further, and bring a calm, prepared energy to sets of every shape and size. Clients come to us for clarity, trust us with their stories, and stay because we deliver work that stands out without the drama.

This is the core of After Now: two people who care deeply about the craft, the people we work with, and the final image on screen.
