Shadow Creek Studios

Our Mission: To produce and distribute high quality films that pay homage to classic forms of entertainment and to become the pre-eminent independent movie production studio of the mid-west.Shadow Creek Studios was born when two friends Christopher R. Mihm and Josh Craig produced the feature film "The Monster of Phantom Lake" and were picked up for distribution by Tim Braun. The three started talking and found they shared a common dream of one day making movies and starting a movie studio.Why the Midwest and why the Twin Cities? Simply put the Twin Cities has a thriving arts community and has many film makers that live right here! Times are changing and you no longer need to move to Hollywood to make a great film!Tim Braun practically grew up in the old Terrace Theatre in Robbinsdale, MN where his mother worked when he was a child and spent many an afternoon watching old movies. After he graduated from Brown Institute he worked in radio and saved all his money to go to the local drive-in and to drive to the next town to see the matinee. It was during these experiences that his love of classic cinema was born.We have a dream of one day purchasing the Terrace Theatre and renovating it to be Shadow Creek Studio..s production lot and offices and to host film festivals and events in this historic space.Christopher R. Mihm and Josh Craig met in high school and started working on one act plays and a full length musical for the theater department. After college they worked on a couple of film ideas that, due to the lack of affordable video and editing equipment available, were never completed.In 2005 Christopher pitched the idea of "The Monster of Phantom Lake" and a few weeks later a script was born. They bought a camera, hired some actors and their first feature length film was a reality. The sequel "It Came From Another World!" followed with filming taking place in 2006 and will celebrate it..s world premiere on May 10th 2007.During this time Tim Braun (of Braun Media Services) secured distribution to independent films "Old Hag" and "The Exorcist Chronicles," thus rounding out the studio's launch library.© Shadow Creek Studios 2007, All
