All rise! James Sharpe kept the wheels of production turning as one of our producers for DIRTY RHETORIC and also managed to turn out a brilliant performance as Bobbi - B-O-B-B-I, that’s our man, Bobbi with an “i”!!! If he can’t do it, no one can!
Gautier Abadie’s creative wheels are always turning as he considers the possibilities for the score of DIRTY RHETORIC. His work on set was paramount to the story and his brilliance continues as post production heats up! Your ears won’t want to miss this magic!
That’s a picture wrap on our first feature DIRTY RHETORIC! 🎥🎉🥂
That’s a wrap on pick-up day one!
Our talented cinematographer Guillermo Cameo at work crafting beautiful visuals for our film DIRTY RHETORIC.

He worked all hours (day and night) YET STILL managed to kick ass at ping pong during our lunch breaks 🎥 🏓
Sunday night seemed a lot simpler before streamers...watch 'til the end for the best cameo we could ask for!

As midnight quickly approaches, we’d like to throwback to DHP’s first official short film WHISKEY KILLS THE HUNGER, an experimental period short written and directed by Terrence Elenteny, James Evans, Amy Gaipa, and James Sharpe. Featured in this picture are them plus amazing industry colleagues we are very fortunate to work with while creating this surreal tale.
