At this level, you can basically do anything you want to/with us.

Newhard Entertainment is a highly elite filmmaking unit founded by the unprecedentedly mysterious mogul T. Newhard. The organization was initially conceived as a vehicle to produce Zach Weintraub's first feature film, Bummer Summer, which is currently enjoying all of the glamor and excitement of an international festival run.

Following the success of this first endeavor, Newhard retreated back into his shadowy lair of secrets, leaving the reigns of the operation in the capable hands of Weintraub himself and his partner Nandan Rao (each considerably less mysterious). Most recently, the duo collaborated with infamous creative madman Rob Malone to shoot a cross-country action/adventure thriller (Fresh Starts 4 Stale People), and are currently developing a transcontinental co-production (The International Sign for Choking) that colleagues predict may go down in history as one of the most ingenious arthouse classics of modern times.
