The Story Behind
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.
|

On set at the Henry
Reed Festival 2006 |
|
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 is about to go 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. 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.
Currently, we offer both commercial video
and event videos (like wedding,
reunion and organizational video) at reasonable prices. 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
