About Me



Spyder Monkey Films is a new company striving to make a name for itself in this crazy place we call a world. The company is made up of two brothers, Dan and Dayv McGuire, who pour whatever they've got into making films that not only entertain, but provoke genuine thought from the viewer.

We are currently in production on our first short, Echo of Me, in which a young girl is forced to come to terms with the cost of survival. The question asked: is any life worth more than another?

Over one half of principal photography is complete, with the rest soon to follow in May '07. We are currently in the process of both working with what we have shot and gearing up for another two days of controlling the chaos that is an on location film shoot.

This includes raising funds for the shoot. We are grateful for any assistance our viewers wish to provide. If you like what you see, feel free to donate by clicking the button below.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with an interest in production on any level, whether it be in film, music, literature, or something that we haven't even considered.We are especially interested in people who feel that they might have something to contribute to our work. Is that you? Drop us a line and find out.

Music:

We are currently in the market for a composer to score Echo. The type of music we are looking for should reflect enviromental sounds of the two locations, as well as blend with the ambient rhythm of a heartbeat, which is the underlying theme of our planned sound design.

Books:

Jack Kerouac, Robert Jordan

Heroes:

Investors
