We’ve spent years building a slate of original, fully developed stories. 

We’re a self-funded independent studio with a growing library of original film, television, and game properties — developed and ready

to move into production. Currently, we are operating as a virtual studio until we find our forever home. Our slate spans Family Entertainment, Drama, Faith Based, and several genre stories rooted in real Pacific Northwest landscapes.


OUR EXPERIENCED TEAM

Collectively over 30 years working with industry giants like Marvel,

Disney, Hulu, 20th Century Fox, Sony, ABC, HBO, Warner Bros., and

Apple TV.

Shed Boys 

At the tippy-top of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, off-grid hippies live without power or running water — yet

somehow reign as legendary lovers, brooding poets, and seasonal

laborers. They’re called Shed Boys and Shed Girls. For real.

somehow reign as legendary lovers, brooding poets, and seasonal

laborers. They’re called Shed Boys and Shed Girls. For real.


Little Sumo Warriors 

(video game)

Little Sumo Warriors drops players into a pint-sized battle arena where tiny sumos train hard, strategize harder, and body-slam their way to glory.


SCI-FI / YA


Sci-Fi High

“Intelligent Life at Butte High? Seriously?”

Fourteen-year-old genius Lia Newton has a brilliant mind, a Star Trek obsession, and exactly two friends — Rushika and Pablo —

which makes her more target than star in a teen comedy about friendship, belonging, and finding your tribe when smart isn’t cool.


Evanesce

Evan thinks he knows his world. He doesn’t — and he barely remembers his own past. When a band of mysterious Star

Seeds kidnaps him, he’s ripped out of a manufactured reality and into the truth: an AI-led future built on transhumanism, and a

resistance that needs him to remember who he really is.


SUPERNATURAL


Sponge 

A gifted empath moves to the charming seaside village of Port Townsend — and discovers she’s the only one who can see

its restless past. As she navigates a new life and a new high school, the town’s ghosts, unwilling to be forgotten, won’t let her go until she lets their stories be heard.

The Good Man 

Inspired by the true story of Joseph Scriven

An Irish scholar who, after devastating heartbreak, crosses an ocean to live

a life of radical poverty and service, and in his emptiness writes the world’s most beloved hymn of hope: “What a Friend We Have

in Jesus.”


It Is Well With My Soul

Inspired by the true story of Horatio and Anna

It Is Well With My Soul

Inspired by the true story of Horatio and Anna Spafford. 

A Chicago lawyer’s faith is shattered when he

loses his four daughters in a shipwreck — and rebuilt, against every instinct he has, by learning to give everything away, until

grief itself becomes the hymn that carries his hope: “It Is Well with

My Soul.”


Maker

A grieving writer, given an impossible second chance after losing her child, uncovers a haunting truth: her life has never

been fully her own — and unseen hands are still writing what

happens next.


Good Grief

A grief recovery therapist leads twelve strangers through a season of raw, unfiltered group sessions — where old

wounds surface, walls come down, and unlikely bonds prove that healing rarely looks the way any of them expected.

We called Port Townsend home for 40 years, and we're planning to shoot significant exteriors back in PT in 2027. For now, we're filming on location in tax-friendly counties with strong infrastructure and skilled local crews.


OUR GOAL
To prove that small towns across Washington — and beyond — can become real hubs for film production, where local leadership and filmmakers join forces to bring jobs and opportunity home. We're building a model of community-centered filmmaking that honors local stories while attracting national attention — and we hope it inspires other independent studios to invest in storytelling communities like ours.

A NOTE FROM THE HEART


We treasure Port Townsend's community and businesses—after all, we've called this home for 40 years. We will miss our favorite coffee shops, restaurants, book store and mercantile, and especially the daily conversations with neighbors who've become family over the decades.

We treasure Port Townsend's community and businesses—after all, we've called this home for 40 years. We will miss our favorite coffee shops, restaurants, book store and mercantile, and especially the daily conversations with neighbors who've become family over the decades. We hope to return and shoot significant exterior portions of our films in PT in 2027. While we're passionate about building a film-friendly future here and have invested generously in our local economy, we recognize the timing isn't right. Our PT roots will always inform the authentic, community-centered approach we're bringing to every location we film.
