Latest Projects

Paper Ghost Pictures is in development on several feature films (with original screenplays from writer/director Motke Dapp). Apart from the time and energy spent on those efforts, they recently made a music video for Daniel Ellsworth and the Great Lakes for their song "Bleeding Tongue," and they are working on some projects with start up Chore Monster as well as some corporate and commercial work.

Milk is Not Bread is the next feature film they're pouring a large amount of time and effort to create, and currently, they're looking for funding. Interested in investing in independent film? Learn more here.
