We have big news! After winning the award for Best Short Screenplay at the Queer Writes Festival, we have gained lots of support for our project "Love Drives Me On", and we are now in the pre-production stages for fully producing the film! The entire team working on this project is so thrilled to bring the script to life, but we need lots more help, so a casting call will be posted in the coming weeks on Backstage, our IG, and our website. If you are an actor who is interested, please stay tuned! 

We are also still looking to complete our production crew for this project. We are specifically looking for people who can be on site in Denver, CO during filming (grips, PAs, etc.) as we have post-production staff covered already. We will be posting job notices for these positions soon as well, but if you have interest, please don't hesitate to reach out. 

We cannot wait to finally bring this piece of work to life! Yay!!

Happy New Year! To celebrate the start of 2024, we are announcing that we will be casting for several upcoming projects, so be on the lookout for casting calls coming your way soon. For several projects, we will be looking for actors and production staff globally. A few upcoming projects are local to Denver, Colorado though, so we will only be looking for collaborators in the Denver Metro area.

If you are an actor, producer, colorist, animator, musician, etc. and are interested in collaborting, please reach out to us on the contact page or email us at fentressfilms@gmail.com. Otherwise, stay tuned in the next few months! Cheers!
