Talent is the greatest difficulty with starting a production company in Indiana. This is not to say that Indiana lacks talent. In fact, my experience has shown me that this state is brimming with talent – all kinds of talent – actors, singers, writers, artists, make-up, stunt persons, and other creative professionals in the industry.
The problem, however, is that these talented individuals need direction and grooming. Often, Indiana’s talent come intact with a dream and a plan, but lacks the direction and assistance necessary to succeed. By providing various talent with direction, it acts as an injection of hope – solidifying their dream to a way of life.
In short: There IS talent in Indiana, a lot of it!
The creative business people, production houses, and artistic institutions need to develop a communal talent pool, a place where young aspiring talented persons can connect with industry professionals and agents. In future entries, I will discuss how this can be achieved.
The concept of Indiana Films LLP was conceived in Los Angeles, California between two brothers from Muncie, Indiana. In 1999, the brothers, both having experience in the entertainment industry, as far as one being an artist, singer, songwriter, performer, and the other having experience in the marketing and management, they wanted Indiana Films to put the state of Indiana on the map, and for Indiana Films to be a resource and outlet for Indiana and local talent. Tommy Loser and Calvin Loeser DBA (Doing Business as)Tommy
and Calvin Kane made their first record in 1983 and made 1000 records (not cds) at CRO studios, also known as the County Recording Office and Open Reel Publishing . Having felt the frustrations of being creators of content with no local outlet is really what brought around the idea of www.indianafilms.com. One brother, Calvin, (CalvinRoy.com) working full time in the industry in Los Angeles, the other brother, Tommy, employed at a local factory in Muncie, decided to set their dreams and goals a-fire, in other words, make the leap and go for it. Indiana Films was established in the year 2000 and has evolved from a small video production company into a professional multimedia company. Specializing in audio/video digital creation with delivery over the internet. ” Our original goals of Indiana Films was to become a theater release movie production company with ties to Los Angeles. Although this is still our goal, we have learned from a very competitive industry, we must find a way to make revenues and stay in the game to follow our dreams and goals. Indiana Films specializes in digital delivery of professionally produced audio/video and website enhancement packages. Video services by appointment for the business or family.”

Sometimes I find it easy to forget lessons once learned.
Indianafilms.com was originally established as a outlet for local creative talent. However, along the way somewhere I got caught up in competition to make a living – doing what I really like to do.
Somewhere I forgot the best way up is to help others. I will try to remember this on a daily basis.
