About VTM

Venice the Menace (VTM) is a full-service film and video production company based in Venice, California.

Since 2007, we’ve worked with major brands, established nonprofit organizations and leading small businesses to produce professional quality ads, films, web videos and other content that serves their needs at an affordable price. To find out more about our production services, click here.

We’re also the creators of three feature documentary films, including the 2011 movie Surfing With The Enemy, now available on DVD from Amazon.com and Polaris Global Media.

And when we’re not busy with all of that, we make videos about life in Venice with the help of our talented friend and post them here and on our YouTube channel for all to enjoy…
