THE FILMMAKER BEHIND THE STUDIO
Storytelling experience.
Practical production knowledge.
BleakVector Studios is led by Jason Montney, an owner and filmmaker whose experience spans directing, producing, and working as a Director of Photography. His background includes Living Nightmares, which aired on Channel 20 Detroit, and filmmaking study at The Actors Loft in Royal Oak, Michigan.
That experience shapes how we approach every project: understand the story or message, decide what needs to be on screen, and plan a production that fits. Hire Jason for a defined role or discuss broader support through the studio.
WAYS TO WORK WITH US
Find the support
your project needs.
01 / OUR PRIMARY FOCUS
Film & Series Production
Feature films, short films, television series, and web series. Discuss directing, producing, Director of Photography and cinematography services, or a broader production scope built around your story and existing team.
02 / BUSINESS & BRAND
Commercial Production
Commercials and branded business content, from concept and shot planning through filming and the final edit. Explain your offering clearly with a production shaped around your audience, intended use, and budget.
03 / DEDICATED FILMING SUPPORT
Creator Content Production
Professional planning and filming for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other creator platforms. One-time, weekly, and monthly sessions deliver footage for you or your editor to finish. Creator sessions do not include ongoing editing.
WHAT PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION ADDS
The decisions behind
the finished image.
Good production begins before the camera records. The purpose of the piece guides the shot list, lighting, camera placement, sound requirements, and coverage. Those choices help the material communicate clearly and give the edit a stronger foundation.
Creative preparation
Know what needs to be captured and why. Align the visual approach, message, and practical shoot requirements before production.
Focused execution
Bring dedicated attention to lighting, framing, movement, sound, and the details that make footage useful.
A defined handoff
Agree on what you will receive. That may be footage for your editor, a specific production role, or a finished commercial.
BUDGETS & COLLABORATION
Start with your goal.
Let’s discuss what’s achievable.
Tell us what you want to make and the budget you’re working with. We’ll explore a practical scope and explain what’s achievable. Shoot time, locations, crew, equipment, and post-production all affect the approach.
Pricing is tailored to the agreed work. A focused filming session and a complete production have different requirements, so the first step is a useful conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU INQUIRE
A clear place
to begin.
Can I hire Jason for a single role?
Yes. Directing, producing, and DP / cinematography work can be discussed individually. Share your existing team and the specific support you need.
Where should I send my project details?
Each service page has a tailored inquiry form. Choose film and series, commercial production, or creator content so we can ask the questions relevant to your project. General inquiries can go through the Contact page.
Do you work outside Metro Detroit?
Yes. BleakVector Studios is based in Metro Detroit and available across the United States. Travel needs are discussed and scoped with the project.
Are all services offered as complete production packages?
No. Your scope can be focused or broader. Commercial production includes an agreed final edit, while creator sessions focus on planning, filming, and footage delivery. Film and series engagements are defined around the roles and stages needed.
