About Me

Rabid 'Possum Productions is a small group run primarily by Zach Owen that resides in both Jamestown and Edinboro PA. Its original intent and purpose was to be a banner under which short films were created. Now, with an utter seriousness, Rabid 'Possum Productions is about to embark on a new endeavor- to create a feature length film. Whether the film is a success or failure, the ultimate goal of RPP is to set out to make a film from which we will learn a lot and grow more experienced from making. The upcoming project is being carefully planned out ahead of time, and will not begin filming until summer 2008. The film is a collaborative directorial effort from both Brook White and Zach Owen. So far Aaron Jones is announced as being a major supporting role in the film, and more casting will be announced in the future.-Rabid 'Possum Productions, 2008
