Hello! We hope you had an amazing summer. We here at (tAB) have been busy submitting our first, short film, thinking... to festivals worldwide, and we also just completed principal photography on our first feature film, Return Shift Escape.

Thinking

We have submitted thinking...to over 20 festivals so far. Hopefully it will be playing in a town near you. We will send updates as soon as we have them! Below are some new stills from the film.

Return Shift escape

(tAB)'s first feature, Return Shift Escape, completed filming at the end of June and is being edited over the next few months. It was written by (tAB)'s Randy Harrison and People-Food's Daniel Stessen. It stars Randy Harrison, Christopher Stewart, Amanda Byron and Marci Adilman and was directed by Daniel Stessen. Sam Gezari was director of photography and Leah Jubara was our formidable Production Manager. The film was shot over three weeks in Altmar, NY on a beautiful, private lakefront property. An unbelievably special thanks to the Stessen Family, the Coolican Family, Art Scotti, Michael J. Rey, Grampa Bob, the rest of the cast (Crystal Bock, Christine Corpuz, Joshua Davis, Sara Oliva) and everyone who has donated to (tAB), without whom none of it would have been possible. Below are some stills from the film and from our beautiful location. We hope you enjoy them!
