MISSION STATEMENT
Ladystone Film Productions & Services operates by making small films with big concepts with perseverance, fortitude, kindness, patience, and creativity all necessary to be a successful filmmaker.
My desire always is to work with inspiring actors, crew and artists who carry a strong work ethic and well-trained professionalism, creativity, enthusiasm, and integrity.
Ladystone Film Productions & Services believes in making quality films while creating a safe positive environment both physically and emotionally for cast, crew, extras. We are always mindful not to sacrifice integrity for the sake of art, rather we are in the business of sparing the dove whether it be an actor, crew, or extra.
My company is here to work hard while knowing our place in society. In other words we are not doing the honorable work of sewing up cleft lips of disenfranchised children, we make movies, therefore no one is more important than anyone else. We are here to serve a movie audience; produce a project we can be proud of and look after our people while producing “good medicine”.
