    ‘Greencastle’ earns film festival award

    Check out this article in The Record Herald newspaper about our trip to the Idyllwild Film Festival. We were nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Score, and Best Sound.

    http://www.therecordherald.com/news/x370664135/-Greencastle-earns-film-festival-award 

    It’s very rare for a first time filmmaker to win an award at a film festival, but that is exactly what Koran Dunbar and the cast and crew of “Greencastle” did.

    The film, which made its world premiere during the Idyllwild film festival in California, came home with their first award for Best Sound/Audio.

    Thanks everyone for your support!

    Jonathan Austin Cinematography Reel

    We were so honored to have Jonathan Austin as the cinematographer for our film Greencastle.

    He has had a busy year and as you see by his reel, his work is outstanding. There are few "new" shots of the film Greencastle if you look closely and quickly. Enjoy!
