About us

We are Ray and Migdalia Etheridge,  senior citizen filmmakers who  have been making films for several years simply because "we enjoy it".  We work as an efficient 2-person crew. Ray operates the camera, and both of us direct the actors from storyboards.  We use wireless mics for audio. We don't do anything fancy. In fact, our style has been called "old-fashioned".  We shoot from a tripod, and lights are in place before our actors arrive. Actors who have worked with us say that we are easy to work with, and that we work quickly and efficiently.  In any case, we always try to finish a project that everyone is proud of. We expect our actors to work in a professional manner, but "we're not shooting Gone With the Wind". We want to do the best that we can, but we also want the shoot to be a pleasant experience for everyone involved.
