About Us

At the heart of all is the ability to tell a good story. 

Ours began on Groundhog Day 1987, when a team of creatives decided to stick their necks out to try and make a living, and life, out of storytelling – far from the production centers of either coast.  

 

Who could foretell that their adventures would take them to distant continents, or that their tales would be broadcast internationally?  Or that students throughout North America would watch their films?  

TV shows, corporate and non-profit videos, commercials, documentaries, educational films – when your roots are in Appalachia, your body of work runs the gamut and creativity cross pollinations. 

 

We’ve often been asked: what’s your favorite project?  

 

It’s the story untold. 

Let’s produce yours!
