official trailer.

Sugar Boys is substantially assembled and moving toward picture completion, sound, visual-effects finishing, color, delivery, and release preparation.

The story

Two detectives.
One poisoned city.

Flip McDoodle and Derek Stone could not be more different. When the disappearance of a young woman pulls them into a conspiracy involving poisoned sugar, corrupt colleagues, and a powerful secret society, the mismatched detectives must decide how much they are willing to risk for the truth.

Big Detroit action. Character-first comedy. An original film built outside the Hollywood assembly line.

The Enigmaw method

Practical first.
Digital without limits.

We choose the tool that serves the shot. Motion capture, green screen, Blender, Unreal Engine, EmberGen, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Creative Cloud extend what the camera captures without replacing the human performance at its center.
