New Work & Signings

For those of you who expressed condolences and helped us through February, we want to start off by saying THANK YOU. February was a rough month for Team Saarinen. We receive a lot of warm wishes and prayers from many of you and the support of our production companies makes us proud to be a part of a big family. Thank you to all.

On that note, our family of production companies have really been thriving and doing amazing things. We had a chance to take a sneak peak at Bully Pictures' new space in Santa Monica. OMG is all we can say. Soon, very soon, they will be having a 'come check us out' bash and you will be impressed. Click here to view the work.
