Joe and Geoff formed Cine-Magic while working together at a film camera rental house and on numerous indie film projects. We continue to have strong ties to the production communities in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York. We are confident that we can stretch the budget for this film further than most due to our experience and ability to secure free or donated gear, services and crew. We would plan to shoot this film in the Midwest on 16mm with the bulk of the budget going into stock/processing/telecine. We are very serious about film, but we're also regular Midwestern guys who like to get loaded at shows. We'd love to work with you!

Cine-Magic also once showed a short film of a cat pooping at our good friends wedding.
