Children of Celluloid

Children of Celluloid is a home grown independent production company, currently producing micro-budget feature films and episodic narratives. Founded and run by long time friends & film partners Ian Tripp & Ryan Schafer.

Our approach to film making is based on our namesake– we are cinema lovers first, raised by the films that inspired us to create our own. While we are wholeheartedly inspired by what came before, we are equally eager to explore the unknown.

We look to spearhead projects from unique up-and-coming voices with projects that are being developed with a self-reliant mentality.

“We should be aiming to make the weird and bizarre stuff that audiences don’t get from commercial movies. What are audiences asking to see when they turn to indie movies? To be shown something new. And a main ethos of the micro budget producing agenda is to make bolder movies, not bigger movies.” - Ian Tripp
