The areas of North Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina have become  hot-beds of independent filmmaking. Not just big budgeted Hollywood type productions, but small and in your face movies by people like you and me  who have dreams and stories to tell.

There should be a place for the actors, the crewmembers, the writers and directors who have the desire to create but not the resources or connections for multi million dollar productions. There should be a place for the activists who dream, and the dreamers who act.

Now there is. We are building a community of people who wish to assist, mentor, learn, develop, and create projects that wouldn't otherwise be made.

Mostly low/no dollar features that offer experience and deferred payment options. Most of us have no desire to rush off to L.A. and become the next Spielberg or Cameron, though if you do you are still welcome. But we want to create an industry here for the little guys, the people who wish to make a living doing what they love.

If it sounds like something you might be interested in then join us and lets help one another.
