Possum Pictures

The stage and the screen have always been closely related. In the earliest days of moving pictures, films weren’t much more than static, two dimensional stages themselves until artists discovered that with cuts, dissolves, closeups and fades the movies could be so much more. As the years passed the theatrical arts and the cinematic arts contributed to each other and inspired each other. The purpose of Possum Pictures is to bring that mutual contribution and inspiration to Possum Point Players. 

Possum Pictures will produce one full length feature film a year, premiere it theatrically and distribute it through film festivals and streaming services, creating exposure to new local and nationwide audiences. Short films and promotional films that support Possum Point Players stage productions will also be created. These projects will take original ideas from script to screen, developing disciplines including screenwriting, directing, acting for film, cinematography, editing, sound design and production management. 

Possum Pictures will provide a wide range of new opportunities for the Possum Point Players artistic community. The feature film, End of the Run which premiered in June 2024, is a creation of that community and serves as proof of concept. It is our hope that Possum Pictures will contribute to and inspire Possum Point Players and demonstrate that community theater can happen on screens as well as stages.
