What is Hot Mop?

Hot Mop Films is a breath of fresh air in an industry that has become over-saturated with high budgets, green screens, and untalented “artists”. We’re a team of young, vibrant, dedicated, passionate and “life-loving” people. We feel confident in saying that we challenge ourselves to do creative work without relying on Hollywood resources. Hot Mop Films takes pride not only in our projects, our crew and our clientele but also within our originality to interpret stories through the camera lens. We represent the streets and the corporate sector. We keep it real yet we have compassion towards our clients and will work around a concept even if it might seem too big. We’re young, fresh, and so NEW YORK; there is no limit to what we can achieve. Here are some of the people we worked with in the past 50 CENT, MTV, VIBE, NINA SKY, N.O.R.E, THE CATARACS, OUTASIGHT, THE KICKDRUMS and COLIN MUNROE.
