ABOUT US
“Someone asked us what we’re like.
I’d say we’re a perfect mix of the 2 great Catherines: Breillat & O’Hara.
Fat Girl meets SCTV, anyone?”
Julie Keck and Jessica King’s first movies were inspired by inside jokes and made primarily to tickle the fancies of their closest friends. In 2001, they were delighted when Girl Rods was screened at the Women in the Director’s Chair Film Festival in Chicago, IL.
The short films they make have extremely low-budgets. Instead of relying on grand special effects, they focus on creating original scripts, emotionally complex situations, and intriguing characters. For more information on their short films, check out the ‘Films‘ section, or choose individual film titles for more specific information.
In addition to producing short films, Julie and Jessica write short and feature-length screenplays meant to be produced on a larger scale with bigger budgets. Their primary goal: to tell stories that are at once familiar, uncomfortable, demented, and exhilarating. In this vein, the ladies are currently writing a feature-length thriller for director Phil Holbrook and also plan to adapt a naughty memoir by author Kevin Keck. For more information about their completed scripts, check out ‘Screenplays.‘
When not writing or filming, Jessica is a high school English and film teacher, and Julie is a freelance writer.
