ahpfilms / The Secret Adventures of Mr. Grant, Case #118

I'm an aspiring filmmaker who loves directing & writing! Have a huge passion for film. East-coaster from Brooklyn now in LA. 1st generation American. Came to the site cause I'm a big fan of Duvall & Caan, and thought it was a great place to share some of my stuff. Hope to get to know some of the other filmmakers. Grew up on Hitchcock & Twilight Zone. Besides directing and writing, I wear many hats (DP, Editor, etc) and I'm gearing to shoot something low budget in 3D. A lot of my stuff has been ultra low budget (don't have a lot of $ or equipment but I love the low budget way of improvising!), so haven't really had the opportunity to work with a crew - just my friends, but looking forward to doing bigger & better things with them!Kindly watch my favorite - The Secret Adventures of Mr. Grant, Case #118

Frog Island Films / The Enemy Immortal

Frog Island Films is Paul Stacy and Tonua Carano. We are storytellers that have a great desire to tell our stories through the media of film. We're not technical experts, we don't have access to great equipment, and we have no budget to work with. But, armed with a decent pro-sumer camera, a cheap lighting kit, and shotgun mics mounted on a painter's pole, we've managed to find a way to tell our stories. We hope you enjoy our films, and we hope, someday, to get a financing opportunity so that we can partner with tehnical experts, gain access to better equipment, and share our stories with a wider audience.
