More on Horse Archer
Productions
Horse Archer Productions arose out of a
conversation between Chris Valluzzo and Sean Kotz in the
summer of 2005 when the two decided that the time was right in the New
River Valley for a video production company with the capacity to create
both full length feature films as well as commercial and personal video
products.
That
summer, the two began evaluating various projects and by September, the
first two films were in pre-production. The Henry Reed Legacy was the
first film Horse Archer decided to pursue and it should reach completion
in the early summer of 2008. It is a documentary on the impact of a Giles
County legend, Henry Reed, whose musical style and historical position
between 19th Century Europe and 21st Century America has been a major
influence on Old Time music across the world.
The
second project, Hokie Nation: A Team, A Town and the Best Darned Fans in
College Football, dominated the Horse Archer Productions work schedule
throughout 2006 and 2007, however. This film, which has gone into its
second pressing, has been broadcast on WDBJ-7, shown in theaters
throughout Virginia, and sold at more than two dozen locations and
websites including Wal-Mart and Best Buy. This full length feature
documentary put Horse Archer Productions on the map and enabled the
company to expand and purchase HD equipment.
At the same time, Horse
Archer Productions began serving the New River Valley with commercial and
personal video services. We have created eye catching video for trade
shows, television commercials, website applications and promotional films.
Utilizing HD equipment and the best available software, Horse Archer
Productions delivers a wide variety of high quality video and we invite
you to check out our services and contact us with your questions.
In 2008, Horse Archer
Productions began working on several new projects including WHY OLD TIME?
a documentary about the life and culture surrounding Old Time music, and
VIRGINIA CREEPERS, a documentary on Virginia's late night TV horror movie
hosts like Bowman Body, Count Gore De Vol and Dr. Madblood. Both
feature length films will be released in 2009.
We also branched into
instructional video, including a series on horse show skills called THE
EDUCATED EQUESTRIAN with USDF champion, Lynn Jendrowski. The first
DVD in the series, "Braiding Made Simple" will be available in June 2009.
We are also preparing to shoot a music instruction series as well in 2009
(more details as the become available.)
