About

At Man Bites Dog Films we prove that you don’t need to be a big studio to produce great work with an innovative style.

Sergei Krasikau & Rory Owen Delaney

Our mission is to create unique films, commercials and videos that express our client’s vision with clarity, cleverness and BITE! MBD Films can guide clients from pre-production through post to create a professional visual product, while keeping it real with a down-to-earth attitude and a few laughs.

Whether you need us for concept through completion or for just one specific area of production, you will get the added benefit of our full range of services — writing, editing, and film production — minus the typical Hollywood attitude. With Panasonic HVX200 and the Canon XHA1, and an Arri light kit and a slew of sound equipment, you can rest assured that you’re getting a state-of-the-art product that will truly represent your vision.

In editing, our writing informs our story construction; in shooting, our editing informs the shot compositions; and in our writing, our production experience informs character actions. But don’t take our word for it, experience our fully insured, highly professional service for yourself today.
