History
IBIS Films is founded on the basis of production being the elemental process that creates, defines and expresses. We have established a background rich with the processes of design, development and direction. Our members have extensive histories of art and design that are now the link between script and motion picture. Our interest in the world of film and video production is only surmounted by our interest in the establishment of communication to your audience. The Southwest offered a good starting ground for our work as artists. It is not only a hub for great cinematic landscapes, but an abundance of characters to help convey a pluristic approach to production. We have currently expanded to two regions, helping us work over thousands of miles on multiple projects. The Midwest also offers great resources for many of our projects for both clients and films alike.
