CMP co-hosts Monday Night Music & Film Salons at Petit Ermitage with Darby Gaelle Hannon, and BLKBRD Films. Our event on Monday, December 2nd featured a night of short films curated by Gio Labadessa, the co-founder of Not Film Festival.

Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of DING for wrapping principal photography!

DiNG follows two girls ding dong ditching houses in a suburban cul-de-sac who stumble upon a neighborhood secret that alters their world forever. Follow along for more updates on the project as we move into production.

On Monday, October 28th we celebrated the release of David Lee Fisher’s latest film, NOSFERATU: A Symphony Of Horror, released on AppleTV and Amazon Prime on October 18th. Nosferatu is very close to the CMP family — Sarah Carter stars in the film alongside Doug Jones, who Sarah worked with on Falling Skies for five years.

The only way our stories are told is if we tell them. And the only way to survive and thrive in our purity as artists is if we support each other. We don’t have to wait for permission or to be chosen. We can make and share our life’s work if we cultivate community.

It’s stories like DiNG that will continue to change the game in this industry. By bringing visibility into unknown territory and radically expanding the scope of what is exposed to the collective, art will always find new points of impact, perspectives will shift, and new voices will rise and inspire.

This exclusive event is the start of an ongoing series at Petit Ermitage intended to connect filmmakers, and to create a space for artists, musicians, actors, cinematographers, writers, and producers to come together and share their work in an intimate setting.

Brendan Quinn, whose role in Netflix‘s “One Day” landed him a best supporting nod at the National Film Awards UK, has joined the ensemble cast of “Scene House,” a dark comedy penned and directed by Annabella Fazio.

Like so many artists, I spent the first half of my career being whatever I was hired to be… a character… in someone else’s show. They owned my time, my likeness, my voice, my sleep, and my instincts in exchange for money.

I believe that with a supportive community we can reach our personal goals with integrity and joy. We deserve to have it all and share everything we’ve got to give.

As the new year kicks off, I’m still integrating the successes of 2022 and the shifts that came with the company’s expansion. I am reflecting and refining how we intend to grow CMP in relation to the increasing demand for original content and job opportunities for deserving artists. All the while I’m in awe that after five years of producing our first two feature-length films and decades imagining a career as a creator, Cheshire Moon Productions is officially in the game and competing with the year’s top films in festivals.

To everyone who made our year so special, from the cast, fellow producers, and crews of In Her Name and A Pity, to the juries, audiences, friends, family, and supporters at every festival in which we were featured, to all of you for your continued presence as we move into the uncharted territory of sales and distribution, finding new investors for our next projects, and opening our hearts to the next artists to invest in and collaborate with — thank you. The future ahead is bright.

The idea to include the owl as a character in the film came slowly and organically as Sarah, who also played the role of the mother, contemplated how to most effectively weave the mother's spirit into the screenplay. Sarah's own mother had told her a story of being visited by an owl at a terrifying time in her journey. These visitations can create a shift in consciousness connecting us with the inner wisdom we all have to carry us through the various and inevitable transformations we undergo in our lifetime. As soon as the owl was invited into the story it became a powerful presence throughout the shoot. A year after we had completed the production phase, we came together for a day of reshoots including a final scene with the owl, the father's malefic hallucination. After editing that sequence, Kevin (the editor and Sarah's husband), Sarah, and their daughter, Alice, went on an evening hike when Sarah felt the strong and familiar presence of an owl. With Alice on her hip, she turned slowly to find an owl staring at her from the lowest branch on a giant pine.
