The goal of 2929 Productions is to finance and produce interesting and thought-provoking feature films for both specialized and mainstream audiences. Though there is no prescribed mandate, 2929’s films tend to fall into one of the following (often overlapping) categories:
Filmmaker-driven: Projects of all genres that are elevated by the presence of a director with a singular vision.
Inspirational and socially conscious: Life-affirming stories with the potential to provoke new ways of thinking about entrenched issues and challenge a status quo.
True stories: Previously untold historical or contemporary non-fiction stories about ordinary individuals facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
As one of the few well-capitalized full-service independent companies, 2929 able to move quickly to greenlight its movies. Unlike the classical independent film model, which involves pre-selling the worldwide rights to secure a bank loan to finance a film, 2929 takes on real financial risk so that all of the project’s participants will see significant backend rewards.
Because of its financial independence, 2929 can, with its filmmaker partners, keep full control of the creative process and remain insulated from the Hollywood studio system. Despite this insulation, 2929 does work with the studios on a selective basis for distribution. 2929’s recent projects have been or will be distributed by Warner Independent, Lionsgate, Dimension, The Weinstein Company, Paramount Vantage and Fox Atomic.
