Digitizing a Dream

Something Wild

When asked to showcase short film "Vicky's Dad" in a festival the film's Director, Kevin Tudor, figured it was time to name the company to back it. His son, and soon to be Co-Producer of the many films to come, replied with: "It should be something wild - out of control - like a sandstorm" - thinking of a popular song by that title. Thus it was and the numerous shorts (ten to date) and features (one complete with one in post-production) had an official home beginning in 2001.

Now those films and Sandstorm Production's founders are seeking to build their audience. In the process they are developing projects that will appeal to mainstream markets and distributors, having honed their film-making skills and established a production base.

Yet one concern entering 2013, after more than a decade of production work, was what to do with the myriad projects already produced.

One look at technology convinced the producers that there was a built in market in the web and via Smart Phone and Smart TV, where audiences seeking mobile entertainment could tune in from anywhere - and that means globally - and find short but entertaining or informative content.

Those shorts are now digitally uploaded and act as mediums to introduce Sandstorm as well as greet the growing consumers of their evolving line of titles.
