Welcome to Guerrilla Productions

The busiest moviemaking empire in Tigard!

Guerrilla Productions makes movies. Like crazy. We love it. It's that simple. From less-than-a-minute goofy shorts to 100-minute long animated features, if it's strange and movielike, it's probably by us. If it's from Tigard, anyway.

We started in 1994 or so writing scripts, and after six or seven feature scripts and a countably infinite number of short scripts, started producing our own movies. One of our most popular movies, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, still sells well today, and is available directly from Guerrilla Productions, via Amazon, or via Arkham Bazaar.

Our current biggest project is Flesh of my Flesh, a feature-length live action zombie thriller, complete with exciting chases, surface-to-air missiles, decapitations, gunfights, helicopters exploding, deadly zombie children attacking Hum-Vees, and a completely re-invented vision of the truth behind zombies, from prehistory to modern day lore.

One of Guerrilla Productions primary goals is to act as a sort of "learning lab" for people who love making movies, and our Tutorials section is a testament to that. Please browse and learn more than you ever thought you could learn, from our handcrafted flotilla of useful advice that would save billions of dollars of wasted effort -- if only everybody did it our way.

One of the projects we regularly do -- and one we'd recommend to anyone interested in making movies on the cheap -- is the Let's Make a Movie workshop at Norwescon, in Seattle. Every year (usually in early April), we gather together, like rampaging little cultists, and open the convention with a workshop the likes of which is unthinkable! In four sessions, we make a movie, walking in with only gear, and walking out with a finished project. The first session is two hours of watching previous videos and understanding the workshop. The next two-hour block is introduction to gear, and coming up with a story and writing a script. After a break, the next two-hour session is shooting the footage. Everything is shot within two hours. Then, six hours later is the editing workshop, where we show the finished movie. In ten hours (plus a break), we go from "well, what the heck do you think the workshop will come up with this year?" to finished film. Plus we still have time to do all sorts of other volunteer activity, too, as well as enjoy all the convention has to offer! Sometimes people ask us if we ever participate in the 48-hour Film Festival. Usually we answer something like "Are you kidding -- that's what our life is like!"

We've uploaded many of those workshop movies to the Downloads section of the website, by the way.

In addition to DVD sales from our shop, Guerrilla Productions also supports itself through the sale of additional goodies, such as t-shirts, magnets, buttons, postcards, mugs, and even teddy bears. We do this not because we think (for example) that zombies and baby onsies go together. We do this because we are determined to make them go together. Please come by and check out Guerrilla Productions' CafePress store for The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Flesh of my Flesh, and various other Guerrilla Productions goodies, where you can find all sorts of fun products, that are sure to make you handsome or beautiful, depending on your wishes, as well as irresistable to members of your preferred sex(s). Irresistable. Seriously.
