What's New?

 

Val is working with various writers regarding her up and coming comedy feature film currently titled, "Velvet Dogs." Her idea for this feature film was inspired by the famous "Dogs Playing Poker" poster created in 1910. It is a political comedy that parallels the life of real dogs and their look-like human counter parts. 

In addition, ongoing discussions are taking place regarding the making of a various music videos with local bands and professional talent. We are thrilled to be producing two in the fall and this is a new area for Val. However, Val's background in music made this offer one she couldn't refuse and somewhat seamless. She is looking forward to new venture.
