The Magic Stone

In some ways, the guys over at the LA-based No Restrictions Entertainment remind us of NY-based, prolific filmmaker Gary King. Both are able to make ultra-low-budget indie films look great, with very sleek, polished cinematography. Films with stories of substance, great packaging, and a well put together online presence (now Im starting to sound like a stuffy producer - ugh). These guys successfully strip away any suggestions that an ultra low budget film should look like one. Its inspiring.

Producer John Paul Rice (One Hour Fantasy Girl), like King, is very community oriented. In other words, they don't spend all of their time promoting their own shit. Its their reciprocal, community-based, 360-degree support that makes you root for them, and continue to seek out their future work.

Which caused us to stumble on this gem of a movie clip. A raw, unmixed, unfinished, rough edit of a scene, from their upcoming project. 20 seconds in, and the intensity of the performances hooked me right away. Check this out:
