Philadelphia & Los Angeles
A full-service production company built on one belief: connection converts better than interruption.
Featured Work
Our Point of View
The brands winning attention right now aren’t outspending the competition. They’re out-creating them. We craft work that earns the watch: content that stops the scroll, sparks the share, and makes viewers feel something before they’ve thought about buying.
When people enjoy watching your content, they remember it. When they remember it, they’re ready to convert.
01
Connecting first, advertising second.
Every brief starts with one question: would someone choose to watch this? If the answer isn’t yes, we go back to the idea.
02
A custom crew, not a standing team.
No fixed overhead passed to you. Each project gets specialists assembled for that production: the right people for your brand, every time.
03
Coast-to-coast without the price tag.
Philadelphia and Los Angeles bases mean we can crew locally almost anywhere in the US. Limited travel markups, same quality everywhere.
04
The process should be fun.
Good Times isn’t just a name. If our team and our clients enjoy the creative and production processes, viewers are more likely to enjoy watching it. Simple as that.

A cold-launch brand needed to find its audience fast. We gave them three ways to do it at once.
Pool Party :15
My Bunky Addiction :30
Runway :15
Bunky Protein Popcorn was launching cold: no audience, no awareness, no playbook. They needed content that could create buzz fast while they figured out who their customer actually was.
A brand launching without an established audience doesn’t need one perfect ad. It needs options. We developed three entirely distinct creative directions to test simultaneously: a sun-soaked lifestyle spot, a deadpan comedy, and a campy hybrid. Each targeted a different viewer with a different emotional hook. We shot all three in a single day, using different rooms and corners of one location styled to feel like completely separate worlds.
The campaign sold out Bunky Protein Popcorn’s entire first product run and gained 16,000 Instagram followers in under a week.

Flagship Brand Film
Hawaiian King Candies
Island Princess
Coffees of Hawaii
After 46 years in business, Hawaiian King Candies wanted to modernize in order to access new Costco locations, a stronger DTC presence, and a rebranded image rooted in their community.
Selling a Hawaiian candy brand isn’t about the product. It’s about the place, the people, and the generations of care behind it. We flew to the Big Island, Oahu, and Molokai and spent a week following Hawaiian King Candies’ operations from farm to factory. Four films, each with its own story and visual identity, all rooted in the same truth: this brand has earned its heritage.
Hawaiian King Candies used the films in sales meetings and successfully expanded into new Costco locations.

Impact Circle: Ensenada
Impact Circle takes volunteers to Ensenada, Mexico to build homes and make connections. They needed a film that could show, not just tell, what that experience does to the people who participate.
We went to Ensenada and filmed with the family whose home was being built, inside migrant camps, and with children learning baseball from volunteers. The goal wasn’t to make a charity video. It was to capture the full emotional exchange on both sides.
The film was shared across LinkedIn and Instagram, building awareness and ongoing support for Impact Circle’s mission trips.
“Super professional and some of the best videographers I have worked with. They had a clear vision, took charge, and executed on what we asked.”

Letter 01
Letter 02
Letter 03
Just5 distributes $5 monthly donations directly to people in need across Los Angeles. Their beneficiaries couldn’t appear on camera, so we found another way to show the impact.
We asked beneficiaries to write letters to Just5’s board with no editorial filter, then filmed board members reading them for the first time. What followed was unscripted emotion, turning the constraints of production into the strength of the films.
Used in email campaigns to activate donors and drive sharing.

CEET Program Anthem
Penn’s Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology needed a film that could translate complex research into something a room full of donors would feel, and fund.
We shot across Philadelphia over two days, grounding the CEET program in the specific communities it serves and the measurable environmental problems it’s actively solving. We served as production partners alongside Truth & Consequences, who led creative direction and editorial.
The film was screened at Penn’s gala to draw donor support for the CEET program.

Brand Anthem
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware wanted a film that could pull their community closer and open doors with adjacent communities who didn’t yet know their story.
We created a brand anthem woven from the Clubs’ history, their day-to-day impact, and the philosophy that has driven their work for decades. Not a fundraising video. A portrait of a community.
The film became an ongoing resource for community outreach and donor engagement.
“Understood our vision and created a video that perfectly captured our history and message.”

Ross Chastain Campaign Film
The Delaware Office of Highway Safety needed a campaign that could connect DUI prevention messaging with real people beyond a standard TV spot.
We produced a campaign film featuring NASCAR driver Ross Chastain at the Delaware State Fair. By anchoring the message in a genuine community moment with a recognizable face, the campaign cut through in a way traditional formats rarely do. We served as production partners alongside Aloysius Butler & Clark, who led creative direction and editorial.
The campaign aired in Delaware and was deployed across digital as part of the Drive Sober, Arrive Alive DE initiative.

Serious About Pizza :30
Ooni Pizza Ovens was in need of a commercial that spoke directly to their audience: people who are genuinely, unapologetically serious about making great pizza at home.
We leaned into that passion and played it for both warmth and comedy. The spot follows the rituals of the serious home pizza maker with a knowing wink.
A comedy spot built to earn laughs before revealing the brand. The kind of commercial that entertains the viewer before they've even thought about buying anything.

Win Every Week
Verse Fantasy needed a commercial that could cut through a crowded fantasy sports market and give players a genuine reason to choose their platform. That reason was its interconnective UI, allowing friends to bet competitively against one another.
We built a comedic campaign around the universal truth of fantasy football: losing is just as much a part of the social experience as winning is. The spot leans into the absurdity of both outcomes with humor.
Verse Fantasy used the spot across paid social and digital to drive app downloads and player sign-ups.

We handle everything from brief to delivery. One team, coast to coast, from first conversation to final frame.
We make ads that stop the scroll. Comedic, clever, and crafted to cut through the noise, our commercials grab attention, spark conversation, and leave a lasting impression. Every frame is designed to move your audience and your brand forward.
The work that lives on your homepage, plays in your pitch deck, and makes people believe in your company. Whether we’re producing an emotional documentary about a brand’s impact or a social series to spark conversation, we focus on character-driven stories that connect to your audience and make them remember you.
One team. From brief to delivery.
Brief Development & Strategy
We start by understanding your brand, audience, and goals. A strong brief means every creative decision has motivation and drives results.
Ideation & Screenwriting
We develop concepts that are original and on-strategy, then write scripts that balance clarity with creative impact.
Storyboarding
Every shot is thoroughly planned before we step on set. Storyboards align the creative team and give clients a clear visual picture of what we’re making together.
Animatic Production
For complex productions, we build animatics: rough visual sequences that let us test pacing, timing, and structure before a single light is rigged.
Location Scouting
We find the right setting for the story. Every location is vetted for logistics and aesthetics to ensure a seamless production and on-brand visuals.
Casting & Talent
Whether it’s real people or professional talent, casting is where characters come to life. We find the right faces for your brand.
Budget Management
We track every dollar. Clients always know where the budget stands and what they’re getting for it. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Schedule Management
Projects run on time because we plan for anything and everything that can slow productions down. A detailed schedule protects everyone’s time and the budget.
Permits & Permissions
Locations, music, talent + location releases: we handle the paperwork so the production is legally sound and stress free from day one.
Production Insurance
Every production is fully insured. Clients and locations are fully protected and our crew works in a covered, professional environment.
Gear Rentals
We source the right equipment for each project's budgetary and visual needs. Anything from specialty lenses to custom built rigs, the kit is built to serve the creative.
Handpicked Crew
Without a standing roster, we're able to build crews for the specific needs of each project. No matter what a production calls for, we assemble the perfect team to get it done.
Production Design
Set, wardrobe, props…every visual element is considered. Production design is what separates a good-looking spot from a truly unique and memorable aesthetic.
Location Management
We handle coordination, access, and on-site logistics so the location works for the production, not the other way around.
Aerial Cinematography
FAA-certified drone operation for aerial shots that add scale and dimension to your story, used when the work calls for it, not as a default.
On-Set Client Review
Clients are welcome to be on set and plug into the monitor. You see everything in real time because the best time to fix something is before you leave the location.
Blackmagic, RED & Arri Camera Kits
We shoot on cinema-grade cameras: Blackmagic, RED, and Arri selected based on the look and needs of each production. The format follows the creative, not the other way around.
Editing
The edit is where the story is really told. We cut with intention: pacing, rhythm, and structure in service of the narrative and the brand.
Motion Graphics
Titles, lower thirds, animated brand elements: motion graphics built to match your visual identity and elevate the final cut.
VFX
When a production calls for visual effects, we bring in trusted specialist partners. The work is managed in-house; the execution gets the expertise it deserves.
Sound Design & Mix
Sound is half the experience. We design and mix audio that holds up from theaters to social media and everywhere in between.
Color Grading
Each project gets a consistent, intentional look that serves the story. Color grading is the final layer that ties the visual and emotional styles together.
Questions we get a lot.
Nope. Most of our best work starts with nothing more than a goal and a brand. We’ll develop the concept, write the script, and build the treatment alongside your team.
A typical commercial or brand film runs 4 to 12 weeks from brief to delivery. Rush timelines are possible.
Constantly. Our remote model means we can crew locally almost anywhere in the US, keeping costs down and quality consistent regardless of where you’re shooting.
Everything. Creative development, scripting, pre-production, casting, location, shoot, edit, color, sound, and final delivery. One team, one point of contact, zero subcontractor chaos.
That’s what the first conversation is for. We’ll ask about your audience, your goals, and your timeline, and tell you what format and concepts will get you there.
Ready to start?
We started this company because we believed something the industry was not practicing: that the best way to connect a brand with its audience is to connect with and entertain them first.
Consumers aren't buying products. They're buying a sense of community, personal change, or an opportunity to make their day-to-day lives a little brighter. Our job is to give your brand the feeling your target consumers are looking for.
Good Times Film Company is a full-service production company built on that belief. Filmmaker-led, lean by design, and obsessively focused on the person on the other side of the screen.
Most production companies carry a full-time roster regardless of what they're shooting. That overhead gets passed directly to you. We built Good Times Film Company differently.
01
A custom crew for every project.
Every shoot gets the right cinematographer, the right editor, and the right sound designer. Not whoever is available. The best person for the job, every time.
02
Lean by design, competitive on quality.
No fixed overhead passed to you. Your entire budget goes to the production, not to an office building landlord.
03
Coast-to-coast without the markup.
Philadelphia and Los Angeles bases mean we can access our network to crew locally almost anywhere in the US. Limited travel markups, same quality everywhere.
