Other independent filmmakers. We love offering advice to filmmakers who are new on the scene, too. We have worked with a number of students who were looking for experience in the field of filmmaking, allowing them to use our 'film lab' and equipment in assisting us with our projects. We're always on the lookout for talent and are now in the midst of preparing another film. Please contact us at [email protected] if interested in more information.
