Why
Neon Aloha

Headquartered in Toronto and available worldwide, Neon Aloha specializes in story-driven filmmaking that’s both grounded and cinematic.

We thrive in the space where professionalism meets creativity.

Moody’s unique background sets the tone. His military experience brings rigor and leadership to every project. His stunt work adds insight into action, timing, and authenticity, and his formal training gives it all polish. Backed by years of on-set experience Moody leads productions that are sharp, adaptable, and built to deliver.

At Neon Aloha, we don’t just run a shoot—we run the whole production with purpose, precision, and professionalism. Clients come to us because they need more than creativity; they need a production partner who knows how to get it done—on time, on budget, and up to spec.

We specialize in the real work of filmmaking, handling the complex logistics that take a project from script to screen. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • We guide productions through Canadian and international tax incentive frameworks, helping to structure shoots for maximum eligibility. From application to audit, we manage qualified expenditures, reporting, and compliance to ensure producers and financiers receive the full benefit of available rebates.

  • We prepare detailed production budgets using industry-standard tools such as Movie Magic and EP Budgeting, tailored to your financing structure and creative scope. Our scheduling is designed for efficiency and feasibility, minimizing risk and keeping production days optimized and under control.

  • Our network includes top-tier department heads, union crews, and specialty vendors across Canada and the United-States. We hire based on project scope, working with experienced professionals who meet both the creative vision and operational requirements of each shoot. All crew onboarding, rate negotiation, and union coordination are handled in-house.

  • From securing permits and municipal permissions to managing E&O, production, and general liability insurance, we ensure your project remains legally protected and in compliance with all municipal, provincial, and federal regulations. We handle union signatory processes (e.g., SAG, ACTRA, IATSE, DGC, IASTE, and NABET) and maintain rigorous documentation throughout.

  • We oversee post workflows from editorial through final mastering, managing timelines, approvals, and delivery assets across departments. Our producers ensure all technical specifications, metadata, and legal deliverables are met for broadcasters, streamers, and distributors—including DCPs, ProRes files, M&E tracks, and QC standards.

  • We manage location sourcing, agreements, and on-site operations with precision, whether shooting in dense urban environments or remote wilderness. For casting, we exclusively collaborate with members of the Casting Directors Society of Canada (CDC) and the Casting Society of America (CSA) to ensure professional handling of talent, union compliance, and accurate casting that serves both the narrative and production objectives.

  • Every production encounters challenges—our job is to resolve them before they impact your timeline or budget. We operate with calm, solution-focused leadership and clear communication to maintain momentum and morale on set. From last-minute vendor replacements to sudden location changes, we adapt quickly and keep the project moving forward.
