lvl 29


dream together

who we are

LVL 29 began with a simple idea… create a one-stop shop for all things entertainment and media. Film, television, digital, and marketing all under one roof. The dream team behind this team dream had touched every aspect of these diverse fields and found one thing to be true. They all had more in common than they didn’t.

What if we could amass a vast collection of the industry’s best and brightest and find a way to leverage their talents in an adaptive environment? One that could tackle any project of any size. End to end. All in one place. That is who we are. That is what we do.

If you’re looking for something different and new, something you can hand off or be fully in step with. Something that brings you joy and excitement. If you want a partner and not just a vendor, then you’ve come to the right place.

Welcome to LVL 29.
