ABOUT US
We opened 57th & Irving Productions in, September 2005. Our midtown-Manhattan company has since produced feature length films, “The Cake Eaters,” “I Bring What I Love,” “August,” and “American Teen". Both "August" and "American Teen" were bought and are slated to hit theaters summer 2008. We are currently co-financing two mid-production films as well.
We are evolving from an independent film production company into a diversified media holding company—expanding our production investments to television and commercial work in addition to film. We will continue to focus on our investors and their portfolio returns as we empower creative artists by supporting their timely and significant pieces.
