We develop and produce creative vertical content through smart planning, efficient execution, and defined production budgets.
Nine Sixteen is a complete vertical production partner. One team covers development, deal structures, crew, gear, and delivery — so platforms and producers deal with one company, not ten vendors.
Full-service production of your title on a defined budget. We plan it, crew it, shoot it, and deliver it — on schedule and on budget.
Flexible deal structures for apps, platforms, and production companies — from straight co-productions to profit-share partnerships.
An experienced writer on our core team means a slate of original vertical scripts, ready to option or purchase outright.
The gear a vertical production runs on — cameras, support, lighting, and monitoring — is already in house, with local access to anything a larger build needs.
A trusted rolodex of HODs and crew for every department — production staff, camera teams, locations, accounting, and bookkeeping.
Editorial, VFX, DIT, and post supervision handled by our own team, with delivery specs matched to your platform.
Vertical titles we are actively developing and discussing with apps and co-production companies.

The slate is shown at a high level — several titles are in active conversations and shared under NDA. See the full slate or get in touch for loglines and budgets.
Our team comes from commercial campaigns, documentaries, award-winning independent films, and MOW productions for networks like Hallmark and Lifetime — with vertical credits on apps like ReelShort.
That background taught us to deliver high-quality productions inside defined budgets, and to design workflows that stay on schedule while the content still performs.
Vancouver Island is our advantage: oceans, beaches, lakes, mountains, forests, and high-end homes — with fewer restrictions and lower costs than the big production cities.
Our storyWe're actively looking to collaborate with brands on films and vertical productions — original branded series, integrations inside our slate, and content built around the audiences you want to reach.
