The ChiggyVision Motion Picture Company was founded by David Alexander and Christian Higgins, two unlikely friends spanning two generations, who came together based on a mutual passion for good film (and great music). Our name reflects the quirky nature of our owners and represents the fun easy-going style of ChiggyVision. While our films will not always be comedic or quirky, the way we run our company will be -- if you can't have fun, why do it? The ChiggyVision Motion Picture Company is committed to producing quality entertainment. We will never ask our actors or crew to work for free and we will always treat our team with fairness and respect (and we will demand no less in return). Our goal is to do independent film in Atlanta the RIGHT way and produce product that will entertain and enlighten. The ChiggyVision Motion Picture Company does not discriminate based on age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, or political beliefs. We believe our strength is in our diversity and we will always strive to be an all-inclusive company make up of like minded individuals who share a passion for producing great films.
Mission: To create great entertainment which makes people laugh, cry, inspires them, or simply takes them out of their own reality for awhile.

Unfortunately Actor's Upgrade Atlanta is closing but some of our services will still be offered!
As you may have heard we are moving to Los Angeles next month. First and foremost, of course, to pursue acting opportunities on a higher level. We're also moving for a change of pace. We have both spent most of our lives in the state of Georgia and it's time to get out there, stretch our wings,…
Please help us stay in a location convenient to you! Click the link for more details.
Actor's Upgrade will be closed this weekend due to building maintenance.
So we're compiling a group of resumes and headshots to put into a ChiggyVision Motion Pictures database. This is for actors AND crew. We will use this database to hire cast and crew for our productions. If you want to be considered in the future please send a headshot, resume, and your demo reel (or link to a demo reel) to [email protected]. If you're crew no headshot is needed. Please also make sure to include if you're union or non-union. Thanks and we look forward to working with you!
I just wanted to say, "THANK YOU" for all who have donated to our Kickstarter campaign for Listen, Sugar! While we are not ready to throw in the towel just yet, we do realize it may take a bit of a "Hail Mary" to raise $5,700 in 37 hours. That begin said, if we do not hit our goal, we will re-group over the summer to ensure we raise the funds to get Listen Sugar! done this year -- and done the right way. In the meantime, keep spreading the word for the next 37 hours! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chiggyvision/listen-sugar

Christian Addison Higgins is going to look like a thug when David Alexander shaves his head in June. Here was the deal. David and Christian made a bet that Chris would get to shave David's head if he raised $4,000 for St. Baldricks and broke the world record for shaving the most heads on national t…
MEET THE CAST AND CREW OF Listen, Sugar! Each day for the rest of our Kickstarter campaign, we'll be letting you know more about each member of our great cast. Today, we introduce you to Amber L. DeVos, who plays Amber Divine.
Amber grew up in scenic Portland, Maine where she mostly complained to her parents about being cold for the majority of her childhood. She learned to ski at a very young age and her mom remembers how amazed she was at Amber’s speed and how Amber would fly by her, poles up, most times never even making a single turn from the time she got off the chair lift until she made it to the bottom of the mountain. Needless to say, Amber would have her skis and boots off and be sitting by the fire long before anyone else was even close to finishing their run. Amber really does feel very blessed to have lived in New England and actually continues to ski as an adult even though she calls Atlanta home. As an adult, however she has the wits to carry glove and shoe warmers with her, and a flask.
Amber kicked off her acting career as Maggie, in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in a community theater in Helena, MT. She fell in love with performing and the terrifying, yet intimate process of the character becoming a part of her. There is never a dull moment with Amber as she loves to laugh and it is in no way a quiet laugh but it is definitely contagious. She is forever a student and will forever be wide eyed when learning and talking about the incredible world of acting and the Arts. She loves acting but loves her family more. Actually, it may go: Family, Animals, Acting. She really loves Animals too.

A coming of age story between a father and his son. And a hooker.
Dear old dad drags Danny Jr. to a ball game. You can tell he's thrilled to be there. "Come on son, stop listening to that One Direction on your iPod. A little baseball will make a man out of you!"
Meet Dan Kilgore and Danny Kilgore. Dan is a single father trying to raise his son the best way he knows how. He is a hardworking southern man who doesn't always make the best parenting decisions and he's not always sure how to show his emotions.
Danny Jr. is an awkward high school senior who is struggling to fit in while his father and his church are trying to push him to be something he is not. Danny loves his father but he is very scared of disappointing him.
The story of Danny and his father, which is told in a VERY funny way in 'Listen, Sugar' is a story that many gay teenagers can relate to. Coming out and being your own man is often difficult when you have so many people telling you what they think you should be.
We're excited to tell this funny story in Listen, Sugar. You are going to love it! Click over and help us get his film made. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chiggyvision/listen-sugar
The Kilgores are played by David Alexander, Actor and Christian Addison Higgins. This is not the first time they have worked together. Take a look at the short scene called 'No Intent' and see a different side of both actors. http://youtu.be/PGQBjYMU5Pk

MEET THE CAST AND CREW OF 'LISTEN, SUGAR!' Each day for the rest of our Kickstarter campaign, we'll be letting you know more about each member of our great cast. Today, we introduce you to Christian Higgins, who plays Danny Kilgore, Jr.
Actor Christian Higgins, who makes his "leading role" debut in Sugar, is the son of Pam and Jim Higgins. He has a twin sister, Carley, and an older brother, Bo. He was educated at McEachern High School in Georgia. Christian initially started acting in stage plays, musicals, and live performances when he was a teenager. After high school, in June 2011, Christian enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve. He transitioned into film acting in February 2012 after completing Army training. Since then he has worked extensively to further his experience and knowledge in the film industry. In March of 2012 Christian doubled for Kevin Bacon in the pilot episode of "The Following." That role jump-started his career and gave him an even stronger motivation to continue following his passion for acting. Chris is the co-founder of ChiggyVision Motion Picture Company (his nickname is "Chiggy," hence the Chiggy part of ChiggyVision).

A coming of age story between a father and his son. And a hooker.
So, now that the cat is out of the bag about Christian Addison Higgins' upcoming deployment, you can see why there is a sense of urgency to secure funding for our film 'Listen, Sugar!' (in which Christian Higgins plays the lead). We've got 16 days and $7,000 to go if we are to get this film done before he leaves. Our goal is to complete filming in June and have a public screening in Atlanta before he deploys. We hope you take a moment to check out our Kickstarter page and throw in some cash -- partner with us and let's make a great movie (it's going to be VERY funny with a great message)!
Our script was written by the amazingly talented Daniel Guyton and will be directed by Ryan Felton and shot and edited by Dan Hunter. We have an amazing cast that includes, of course, Christian as well as myself (playing his father), Amber L DeVos as the prostitute he befriends, Matthew Carter Jones as his best friend (and then some!?), Ife' Moore as the Madame and Jeffrey A. Cabral (who is going to be HYSTERICAL). You're going to love this film!
Here's the link to partner with us and to find out more. Our Kickstarter is an "all or nothing" campaign, so if we don't reach our goal, your card won't be charged. Of course, if we don't reach our goal, this film won't get made either, but we're all confident we'll get this done and it's going to be great! For those who donate, there are some awesome perks, so check 'em out!
