Basis Productions is a film production company based in St. Louis, Missouri. Founded in 2008, Basis originally was a lot of talk and no action. Now we’ve been kicking things into action, starting with the short film Castle Town, followed by our brand new short-ish film Spirit’s Requiem.

We at Basis have a creed which all our members must learn by heart and swear to live by. These are the three tenets of our creed:

1. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
2. Action defines character.
3. Don’t make a girl a promise if you know you can’t keep it.

Does our creed intrigue you? Do you want to add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own? Then feel free to send us a petition to join our motley crew, especially if you’re into producing or any aspect of production design (costumes, props, sets, etc.). All potential crew members will be subjected to a weekend retreat with our applications processor R. Lee Ermey. If you make it through this weekend without killing yourself and/or Mr. Ermey then you can join the Basis brotherhood.

You can contact us at basisproductions@gmail.com, and we’ll be happy to answer your questions or hear your comments. Sorry, no solicitations for scripts or ideas. We’re sure your script about the zombie apocalypse is totally original and an excellent commentary on the human condition, but we have a backlog of scripts and ideas that we’d like to get done first.

Here be the ways which ye can find out more about Basis (other than this website, of course):
