Established in 1996, Nomad began as an editorial company. From these roots, we expanded into creative development, live action production, visual effects, motion graphics, CGI and sound design. Today, we are a veteran creative think tank, a world-class production company and an award-winning post house. Through our global presence in Los Angeles, New York, London and Tokyo, we service and manage work whenever and wherever.
Come in at any stage of the creative or production process and we’ll shepherd your project seamlessly from the beginning (or middle!) to the end.
