Film is f***king cool. We don't want to create AI videos — we think those are lame. What's more human than struggle. What's more human than emotion. AI takes away all of that. What's more human than perfect imperfections. What's more human than working on set with 20 other people exuding their physical and mental strength for the same goal. Everyone with different abilities, tasks, and talents. Not a water-cooled computer plant in the middle of some rural town in Arizona stealing from real artists so that a suit can buy another lake house. New age production companies are trying to replace their current workflows with AI-generated content that is high margin and low effort. That's not what Covalent wants to be. We started Covalent in 2024 because we wanted to bridge the gap between traditional production — film school knowledge — and AI slop. We continue to see how things can be more efficient and we're constantly striving for that. We integrate AI agents into our workflow, we create systems that make us more time efficient, allowing us more time to focus on the human experience. Our goal is to minimize the clicks that a client has to make. No, that's not a metaphor or hidden message — we genuinely want to decrease the amount of times our collaborators need to type a key on their laptop, push their mousepad, or touch their iPhone. A commercial production company that values speed and tech without discrediting the ability of artificial intelligence. We're merely too snobby to be using that shit to recreate human emotion. Call us old fashioned, or call us luxury. It's up for interpretation.
