About the Company

Got The Shot develops and produces non fiction and fiction films for all media. Our company is interested in character driven compelling stories that entertain. From the stories of world-renowned artists to youth and adults alike finding their passion, the subject and stories touch our consciousness as their human drama unfolds.  We believe that the audience is inevitably drawn to characters they can relate to or sympathize with and that connection will drive their interest in watching the film.
