Uncompromising. 
We are a tight team of seasoned professionals–writers, producers, creative directors, directors, editors, designers, animators, AI experts, and VFX artists–all working together to create transformative work.
We’ve amassed a body of work of over 1,000 projects. Super Bowl commercials, brand anthems, infomercials, explainer videos, internal communications, live events, and concerts.
From big budgets to small budgets and from global campaigns to one-off videos, we work with you to understand and define your goals so that we can create maximum impact across all channels.
We take the work seriously, and ourselves, not so much. And we never settle.
Curt Fleming | CEO / Partner
Curt is our fearless captain, diving headfirst into strategy, creative, and concept development for our clients. From the spark of an idea to the final touches on storyboards, he's in his element. He's all about the 3B's - Big ideas, Big impact, Big results. His mantra? Laser-like focus. Master your craft. Be the best. And, collaborate with awesome folks who want to do awesome things for awesome clients. Simple as that. And, it's been his guiding light for two decades now. Whenever we get too cozy, he shakes things up, reminding us that "greatness never transcends from comfort zones". Curt ensures we have all the ingredients for success: the right squad, the right tech, a dash of fun, a safe space to stumble, and a pinch of adrenaline – because that's where magic, hustle, and efficiency truly thrive.
Scott Fleming | Director / Partner
Scott's our guru for everything that says 'action' at Merit/Andrew. He's the boss of colossal multi-year campaigns, small product launches, and everything in between. Scott's a hands-on creative both behind the camera and the edit bay. He’s a creative who thrives on collaboration with our deep bench of creatives and filmmakers. A proud alumnus of the Vancouver Film School, Scott has been conjuring up magic almost his entire life. With over 500 directorial projects under his belt and shelves of shiny hardware, Scott’s invaluable experience, knowledge and wisdom is tapped everyday to make visions become reality.
Caroline Scott | Head of Production / Partner
Big C brings it all to life. On brief. On time. On budget. Exceeding expectations and managing the people and the process—effortlessly. She’s been the “/” in Merit/Andrew since 2002 as the unsung hero that brings it all together. Over 1,000 productions under her belt, she’s helped prep Will Ferrell as a high school football coach, rocked out to AC/DC with Rob Riggle, had pistachios with R Lee Ermey, and been yelled at by Jane Lynch. Robert Mondavi called her “nails” (affectionately, of course). That stuck. Because if you want to know what it takes to be successful in this business. Nails.
Jake Klarkowski | Producer
Jake can be found anywhere the work sends him. He’s Caroline’s right hand making it happen behind the scenes on the big stuff and front and center on the other stuff. Jake was a tour manager for October Fall before getting into the film industry. We hired Jake as an AD on a WD-40/R Lee Ermey job back in 2010 and that was it. From 1-day product shoots to 40-day multi-state commercial beasts, Jake gets it done (flawlessly, with only minor spelling errors) with a laugh and a smile. He's got that gritty Chicago work ethic, an LA creative eye, and that New York no-nonsense 'let's get it done' attitude.
Jason Rapp | Head of Animation
Animation's a big deal around here at Merit/Andrew, and Jason's been our resident wizard since 2010. If you've got an idea, Jason and his team can make it real. And if your imagination's on empty, he's got a full tank ready to go. He's always in the thick of things, sleeves rolled up, ready to dive into the impossible. Whether it's VFX, 2D, or 3D animation for TV, digital or experiential projects, Jason and his team have got it covered. He's a pro with the trickiest software, though he's hilariously bad at email and Google calendar. His spelling's a disaster too, so you know he's a certified CG rock star.

We`re live with The Lido Lot — our boutique LED production studio purpose-built for teams who want their content to flex with beautiful intention. One stage. Limitless worlds.
On May 1st, we made our official debut. We gathered our people and celebrated community, creativity, and craft. It was the perfect way to open the doors on something we`ve been building toward for a long time.
This is microVP — Micro-Virtual Production, dialed in and ready to deploy.
A big thank you to our launch sponsors (they`re featured in the sizzle video so check it out!). And if you weren`t able to join us, come see the space and get your mind rolling with the possibilities. Tours are open and bookings are live.
Let`s make some magic in 2026!

Happy April Fools` Day! Back in 2013, we won the internet — at least according to PC Magazine, who called Toshiba the winner of April Fools` Day that year. We introduced the Shibasphere gaming console, and let`s just say not everyone in the building was in on the joke (our VP of Support was not amused). Those were the days when CE brands could break the internet with a good prank. Still holding out hope for "Trade Show: Vegas Edition" and "Organic Farming" someday... 👀

We made history as the first outside crew to film the SLS rocket inside NASA`s Michoud Assembly Facility. Our mission? To celebrate the incredible Boeing team behind it — the people who design it, build it, and pour their passion into every detail.
At the time we filmed, the rocket was being prepped for its journey to Stennis Space Center for testing — and our video would debut at the very event marking its departure from the facility. Nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Tomorrow, it launches and we`ll be watching.

10+ years of Chuck Norris Movie Nights at Merit/Andrew. Watching the legend 86 everyone dumb enough to cross him. It`s fitting that at 86, he 86`d himself out of this world and into one where he`s surely delivering roundhouse kicks to anyone disrespecting the grounds beyond the pearly gates.
Sendoff is happening with Code of Silence on Wednesday May 6th at lidolot.com. Hot dog bar and PBR. Who`s in?
RIP Chuck Norris — the silence is deafening. 🎬🤛🤠

@KontrolFreek just dropped a global campaign — and we had the privilege of producing, directing, and handling post-production.
What started as a launch video evolved into something much bigger — a brand position and storyline rooted in the psychology of winning, brought to life across long form, cutdowns, and photography — built to meet gamers on every platform and screen.
Big thanks to @carlosmusquez and the team at Old School Collective for the creative vision, strategy, and collaboration — and to the entire team at @KontrolFreek for the trust and confidence. And to our killer team (not all of whom we can mention here!) who brought it to life:
EP: @cfleming79
Producers: @panicskater124 @jakeklark
Director & Lead Editor: @scottflemingdirector
DP & Photography: @byronwernerdp
Production Designer: Jeff White
Gaffer: @bezerqer74

Color: @colorbysanti
Super proud of this one. Check out the long form cut!
