Founded in 1990 by Charles Ashira, BackHome Pictures has primarily been involved in the production of television commercials working mainly with advertising agencies such as TBWA/Chiat-Day, Wieden/Kennedy, Fallon/McElligott, DDB/Needham, Carmichael/Lynch, Goodby Silverstein, McCann Erickson, Campbell Ewald and J. Walter Thompson.

By the year 2000, BackHome Pictures had evolved from servicing exclusively ad agencies to developing into a creative boutique offering full advertising services to clients with no agency on record, while still maintaining a relationship with a select number of ad agencies. By 2010, BackHome Pictures acquired four A-list properties and is currently involved in developing them into full-length feature films (see In Development page).

Flambe, as in other Abehsera & Partners productions, started a trend in simple story telling in the most possible minimal way, with excellent directing of actors, great casting and art direction.
