The Official AJ Epyx Productions Website
An NYC-based film & video production company.
The trailer for AMERICAN GUNSLINGERS has just received its latest official selection into this year’s Kwanzaa Film Festival to be held in Harlem, NY! We previously screened THE SAXOPHONIST at last year’s festival. Screenings will take place between December 27-30. Stay tuned for venue and ticket info. Congrats to our team as the journey continues!
Coming soon to the online learning community website Skillshare is a multi-part masterclass on no budget filmmaking presented by Andre´ Joseph, award-winning independent filmmaker from New York City and president of AJ Epyx Productions. The class will be about getting your movie made with the resources you have available and not break the bank. This will be followed by students producing a video with a 3-Act structure and conflict at 3 minutes max. This will be the foundation for how to present your work to a wide audience. The class is geared towards beginner film students and people interested in making movies but never picked up a camera before.
Production on these videos is currently in progress. Subscribe and apply to the Skillshare class today at skillshare.com.
Here’s some quick pics from our AMERICAN GUNSLINGERS trailer screening at The Cutting Room International Short Film Festival last weekend. We had so much fun seeing it on the big screen as well as having it played in an endless loop in the bar area all weekend! Thank you Kathrina Miccio for this opportunity and for hosting a really cool festival. We are starting to schedule interviews with the potential crew for the full-length feature to shoot next spring. If you have an interest in being part of our team or have investor interest, please email to ajepyx1@gmail.com. Referrals are welcome as well!
