Productions
Short film production and directing.
We write, direct and produce character-driven short films, and take on shorts for other storytellers as director, producer, or both.
Our shorts
J. Penberth Rabold directed Connected, a short about a young woman struggling to find an authentic connection with her father in a technologically connected world. It was a Runner-Up for both the Jury Prize and Best Visuals at the 2019 Filmmakers Collaboration Challenge.
Our current short is Dallas & Allegra, a Rust Belt Romeo and Juliet, produced by Shannon Geary and shot in Pittsburgh.
