Currently, the team behind H&H, as we refer to the title, is comprised of Jeremy Hughes, Jason Heinrich and Brian Stevens under the production company name of Elevate Pictures. Based in Columbus, Ohio, we are all native to our state and still here for one reason or another even though each of us has worked or schooled in the Hollywood system. It is our belief that 1) a movie like this can in fact be made here in Ohio and 2) made for a fraction of what it would typically cost out west. We intend to pool or connections, equipment, skills and excitement for this project to bring it to life. We will be utilizing digital workflows that allow for high quality imagery but also take into account a seamless flow between production and post. It all starts in the beginning.

We are close to locking on the final script currently and are in the process of beginning to wrap a film package around it for fund-raising. Stay tuned as we share what we think is going to be our own epic adventure of bringing this picture to life.
