    Director William Rouse has been creating incredible work for the major streamers and has a special ability to create a very positive and creative environment on his sets.

    His film MOMMA has garnered a ton of attention and you should definitely check it our here: https://hiimwill.com/Momma

    William began his filmmaking journey in music videos and comedy sketches. Soon, his skills were requested on large commercials and intense documentaries for seasoned directors. However, long before a camera was placed in his hands, he fell in love with the writing process in grade school, and that creative bug never left.

    His background in basketball and surfing served him well, as persistence and practice forged an iron work ethic. William is also passionate about mixed media and third spaces. He helped produce the incredible stage & film presentation TRUE that showcased just how powerful these events can be when art and commerce connect.

    His frequent collaborators include: Rob Smith, Matthew Law, Matthew Thompson, Jeff Vanderpool, and Jakob Owens.

    Cinematographer Pithai Smithsuth is on an incredible path. As a child he visited David Fincher's set for Panic Room, and was blown away by the problem solving exhibited by the crew.

    He started filming skate videos for his friends, and his skills continued to grow.

    Then he went into a completely different field, first into music, then commiting to and graduating from aviation school.

    But he never forgot the wonder he experienced on Fincher's set. He began line producing in Thailand and one day the cinematographer was held up on a flight and he was given his big break, which led to a Vimeo Staff Pick. Pretty soon, Nike came calling and he filmed multiple pieces for them in Thailand.

    Then he began and incredible run including Da Five Bloods with Spike Lee, Killers of the Flower Moon with Martin Scorsese and Rodrigo Prieto, and the Creator with Greig Fraser, Oren Soffer, and Gareth Edwards.

    If you're familiar with the film industry, you know that it is common for a job to appear the moment you purchase a plane ticket out of town. This is exactly what happened to Pithai when he and his family set out to return to the United States. This time, the call was for White Lotus Season 3, and Pithai would be working alongside a DP he long admired; Ben Kutchins.
