WELCOME

In 2005, Chicago actors Mike Bradecich and John LaFlamboy got drunk and emotional on New Year's Eve and decided to form an independent production company in order to give themselves and their friends acting jobs in movies that they themselves would produce, write, direct, and edit.

In two short years, the company they formed that night, Big Tree Productions, has shot seven narrative shorts, five industrials, three music videos, one commercial, and one documentary. In 2008, they will shoot their first narrative feature, 'Haunted House: The Movie.'

Big Tree Productions already has a company plane on layaway, and should be ready to take their maiden flight right around the beginning of next year's hurricane season. They will be drunk and emotional then, too.
