Why create an LLC for your film?

One thing you may not know about creating a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is that it’s not just about organizing your film’s budget and finances; it can also help protect your personal assets from certain business liabilities.

Creating a separate LLC for your film helps create a legal boundary between you personally and the production. It’s one of the smartest ways to keep your personal life and work life separated.

Furthermore, distribution will require an LLC and chain of title documentation when you get a distribution sale or licensing deal!

See what we did there? Limited liability. Ba dum tss…

The best stories don’t try to relate to everyone. They tell one person’s truth so specifically that somehow, everyone finds a piece of themselves in it.
A character doesn’t have to share your life, your background, or your experiences for you to understand what they’re feeling.
Fear. Love. Rejection. Hope. Grief. Belonging. Starting over.
That’s where storytelling becomes universal—not by making a story broader, but by having the courage to make it more specific, more honest, and more human.
That’s the kind of storytelling we believe in at Lakefront Pictures.
What’s a movie or character you connected with even though their life was entirely different from yours?

Some of the best filmmaking moments happen between takes.

Filming Behind the Fence meant working through snow, freezing temperatures, and unpredictable weather. Despite this, our cast and crew never stopped bringing their best. Every challenge is just another part of telling the story. ❄️

Here's a look behind the scenes.
