About Me

How To Win An Oscar- 48 Hour Film Fest 2007 Entry

Winner of Most Manic Performance in New Zealand

We are Floating Head Productions. Check out our video's and short films! Two are on our profile and the rest are at - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=floatinghead1

I'm Gunna Getcha!

The heads of Floating Head Productions (in other words, the ones who do the grunt work and yell at the others when they are late and are in charge in general) are Rebecca Barnes and Chris Stratton. Eppie Bowler can be found starring as the lead in most of our films. After meeting at a film and television course in 2005 Charlotte Crone and Debbie Rowland became part of the infamous FHP gang.

We make short films and music videos with our amateur film company Floating Head Productions. We relocated to Wellington to study film at Victoria Uni in 2007, but have chucked that in to study at The Nz Film School (Rebecca) and at Unitec (Chris).

Take a gander at some of our stuff.

FHP has been in existance for around 3-4 years, ever since Rebecca brought a video camera and we needed a logo for our very first clay animation.

If you feel you would like to donate something to some aspiring young filmmakers, or would like hardcopies of our work, or just have a chat about anything really, we're up for it, just email us at [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
