About Me

Hi! My name is Leslie, and I am the Music Supervisor/MySpace addict for CNGM Pictures. I've agreed to run this MySpace page for the film company, and I figured I'd put it out there that its me you're contacting, if you so choose to contact us through MySpace. This page is a networking tool, and another way for us to get out there, as well as a way for me to scout new music. If you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to contact me via email at [email protected], or to check out the webpage, http://cngmpictures.com. Thanks for visiting!CNGM Pictures is an independent, not-for-profit film & video studio that strives to create unique motion pictures for the purpose of promoting independent cinema, providing artists with the opportunity to experiment and showcase their work, and to provide an artistic and educational experience for our members, our community, and our fellow students of cinema. CNGM Pictures NFP was founded in 2004 by our four managing directors, Steve Coulter, Michael P. Noens, Marc Muszynski, and Nick Mikula. Currently, we are focused on producing a variety of features and shorts each year, and are branching out into television as well. As our studio continues to grow, our intent is always to push the boundaries of our low-budget flimmaking. We take our slogan, Professional, Independent Microcinema, seriously and hope that our films will entertain and inspire.CNGM also works to give back to the independent film community by offering our support for local student independent filmmakers and through our annual support of independent festivals. In July of 2004, CNGM Pictures was a co-sponsor for The 2004 Nebula Film Festival in Palatine, Illinois and in August 2005 we are hosting Microcinema Fest 2005, an international film festival for low-to-no-budget film temporarily relocated from Rapid City, South Dakota to Palatine. We also will be hosting Microcinema Fest 2006 in Palatine, IL.
