Laundry the film brings excitement

Charlie the dog blog

Last night Amber went to the Richard Lawson first annual film festival. It was so wonderful seeing friends and actors celebrating their work. She felt so inspired by all of the films. Her own film LAUNDRY premiered there. She felt so excited by Richard Lawsons dedication to filmmaking, and after talking to Shervin and Sasha, she decided to make a production group. She is putting this out as her first postulate to the group:

Movie Junkies Productions is a practical collective of filmmakers who donate to each others projects in order to green light our own films. We have a monthly fee to join, and a certain number of hours must be contributed to remain a member. We not only work on our own films, but help each other make dreams come true. "Never Wait" 

One challenge has always confronted filmmakers at every level of the business- How can we convert our ideas into reality? 

In 2008 Amber set out to find her own solution to that question. The traditional answer meant waiting...waiting to be introduced to the right contacts, waiting to have scripts read, waiting to get the green light. 

Waiting, in other words, for someone else to give permission. But Amber isn’t satisfied with waiting, and she saw that the digital video revolution had provided us with new low-cost, high-quality tools to reduce the obstacles of movie production. Realizing she had the freedom to make films with no one's permission but her own, she began working on a collaborative group.

All we had to provide was the hard work to make it happen.



Film Fast, Film Well, Film Often 

Movie Junkies productions is a creative collective of filmmakers actively dedicated to bringing our visions to life. Since our inception we will shoot at least one script every month, moving quickly from concept to production to post.

We get our movies made. 

Whatever the story, wherever the setting, we find a way to make it real. Veterans of dozens of short films Movie Junkie’s productions is going to be constantly moving forward, making bigger and better movies, and we're always looking for talented and motivated people to join our cast or crew. You won't find a nicer group of filmmakers working today., more professional, or more fun.

My tail is wagging with anticipation to see how this all plays out.
