The Top of the Key

The Top of the Key

We’re Building the Crew

The Top of the Key is now in pre-production, and we're looking for a small group of creatives to help bring it to life.

About the Film

Top of the Key is a character-driven short film about a retired basketball player forced to reinvent himself after an injury cuts his career short. When his son shows a passion for the game, what starts as a second chance becomes an obsession — and a test of whether he can be the father his son actually needs.

This film lives in quiet moments. Tension. Love that isn't always spoken.

We're building a lean, intentional crew that understands storytelling beyond just getting the shot.

Who We’re Looking For

We are currently looking to connect with:

  • GAFFERS – who can shape light with intention and mood

  • AUDIO MIXERS – who understand that sound is the emotion

  • CAMERA OPERATORS – who can move with the story, not just capture it

  • OTHER ROLES – if you feel aligned, we want to hear from you

Location Focus:
Virginia (Hampton Roads / Richmond area)
