Here are a few clips and short programs we have produced.
Byrd of The Woodlands 30-second TV Spot
Backyard Bar-B-Q - 30-second TV Spot
We shot two 30-second spots in one day for Byrd Automotive, economizing on cast, crew and equipment rental. We used the same two actors (from Main Street Theater's company) and a crew of 6. These spots are still being shown on local cable six years later. If you'd like a similar pair of 30-second spots, or one 60-second spot, this would currently run $6-10,000 or more depending on locations, cast, props, etc.
This feature length (114 min.) 35mm film was our magnum opus. Starring Sam Bottoms, Karen Black, and hundreds of local actors and extras, this turn-of-the-century murder mystery incorporates trains, horses and carriages, period crowd scenes, and top production values on a miniscule budget (by Hollywood standards). It's been aired on 5 continents (including a showing on the BBC in October of 2001) and had an excellent 6-week run at the Greenway Theater in Houston, but we're still looking for a major U.S. release.

What do I like about Rice? - 60-second TV Spot
We made this back in the 80s when the standard spot shown during halftimes of college football games included a narrator reciting statistics... Rice offers degrees in ...., Rice has over x National Merit Scholars, etc. Rice wanted to get away from the egghead image and show it as a place to have fun as well as learn. We decided to use only the voices of real students talking about the place. In recent years this approach has become the norm. Other programs for Rice: We've also produced videos about South Texas College of Law, St. Anne's School, and several other pillars of modern education.
