Seventh Victim - A Black
Maria Production
- Black Maria Productions -
Our production group is
named "Black Maria" as a reference to the first ever
movie studio, built for Thomas Edison in 1896 to make films for
his kinetoscope invention.
We have chosen that name
because our group, along with the many other fanfilm &
independent filmakers, are in a sense taking cinema back to its
origins.
The early filmakers had to
invent everything from the ground up and their films were short,
fast, novel & inexpensive. The cost of increasing technical
sophistication drove out the small producer and after a decade
filmaking became a business, after 2 decades an industry and 100
years later has seen it develop into a segment of monolithic
global entertainment corporations.
However, modern digital
cameras, CGI effects, computer editing and internet downloading
have made it possible for small groups to again make and exhibit
professional looking productions at low cost.
Our aim at Black Maria is
to produce good films of a type neglected by big filmakers.
"Seventh Victim" is to be our proof of concept, if it
turns out the way we hope it will mean that just about anyone
with the will can make a good movie on a shoestring budget.
