Dreem Websites designed and launched a brand-new website for Gross Development Productions (GDP), a family-owned independent film, television, music, and musical production company based in the San Fernando Valley, founded by Dan Gross and Laura Gross.

GDP needed a home base for its growing slate — led by MENTAL, an award-winning dark comedy mockumentary series created by Laura Gross and directed by Suzanna M Turner. The site had to feel like a premiere: cinematic, dramatic, and built to showcase the series, its cast, and its festival run to audiences, press, and industry contacts.

We designed a dark, film-inspired experience with full-bleed stills, bold condensed typography, a “REC” camera-frame video treatment, and film-strip galleries that echo the mockumentary format — all while keeping navigation simple: Home, About Us, Mental, News & Updates, and Contact Us.

Beyond the Design: SEO & Social Media Marketing

We optimized the site so Gross Development Productions and MENTAL can be found by name and by topic — with on-page SEO, structured data for the organization and series, optimized titles and descriptions, and keyword-focused pages for the production company, the series, its creators, and cast.

We support the series with social media marketing on Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes content, cast spotlights, festival news, and award announcements, and connecting the social feed with the website to build an engaged audience.

The News & Updates section turns festival selections, awards, screenings, and promotional moments into fresh, shareable content that supports both search visibility and social campaigns.

Project Scope: Brand-new website design, custom WordPress development, mobile-first responsive build, series showcase page, cast and credits sections, video and film-strip galleries, news and updates section, IMDb and Instagram integration, SEO marketing, and social media marketing.
