Backseat Conceptions is a partnership between three main producers with a network of professional crew members across the US and around the world.
Whatever the size or type of project, we have the team to bring it in on time and on budget. Most importantly we strive to produce work that is entertaining, marketable and has the highest possible production value.
Personally and professionally, Backseat Conceptions team members are recognized as being friendly, charming and enthusiastic about the projects we work on. We enjoy the profession that we chose and we are happy to do it. Long hours and difficult conditions won't knock the smile off our faces. The Backseat attitude is contagious, that's why our crew becomes our friends.
Backseat Conceptions is a friendly company with a collective feel and mentality, that's why Backseat is the first stop for crew members who are looking to do "their own thing". Backseat is constantly helping crew members produce their own pieces of media, whether they are short films, spec jobs or feature films. Because we've done so many collaborative, aspirational projects we've developed strong friendships throughout the industry. Those friendships translate into benefits for our clients.
