About GLARE FILMS INC

We chase the light others flag off.

Glare is the light that hits the lens head-on — the thing most crews block with a flag. We lean into it. It's how we think about every project: find the honest, slightly unruly moment and build the film around it.

Our story

A Burbank company with a director's eye.

GLARE FILMS INC was founded by Aramayis Sarkisyan, a producer and director who spent years working on sets across Los Angeles before starting a company of his own — one built around small senior crews, honest budgets and a real obsession with light.

Today we produce commercials, music videos, documentaries and brand films for local businesses, national brands, agencies and independent artists. Some projects are a single shoot day; others run for months. Every one gets the same producer from first call to final delivery.

What we believe

Four rules we shoot by.

Light first

We decide how a film feels by deciding how it's lit — before we decide anything else.

Honest numbers

Fixed bids, line by line. If your budget can't do something well, we tell you.

Small, senior crews

Fewer people, more experience. Faster days and more natural performances.

Finish strong

Color, sound and delivery get the same care as the shoot. That's where films become films.

The studio

Our Burbank base is where projects are planned, edited and graded. Shoots happen everywhere — stages in the Valley, streets in Hollywood, deserts, harbors and kitchens. Studio visits are by appointment.

Let's make something worth watching.

We take on a limited number of projects each month so each one gets our full attention.
