Full-service film & TV production in Los Angeles — budgeting, casting, crewing, and physical production for every platform and every budget.
Founded in 2016, Doubloon Productions is an independent production company based in Los Angeles, led by Steve Bakken, with over 20 years of experience in the LA entertainment industry. We've worked across scripted features, documentaries, independent TV pilots, reality and docu-series, web series, and commercials.
