It began…
A company called VGS
(Visions Gate Studios)
The idea of it
Began
A long
time ago.
In darkened Theaters, and rainy days, over popcorn fights, and with grainy images and black and
white sets… it began.
With names like Bogart and Lean and Welles and Poitier and Davis and
Mamoulian… it began.
This idea
that cinema could say something…. Lasting.
Things that needed… to be said.
That
via Silver Nitrate and Video Tape and DVD it could continue, a conversation
begun long before our births, and one hinged to continue long after our
deaths.
A
conversation begun with cave paintings, and stories told over open flame. A conversation of a scared, tired humanity, beset by things
beyond the light. A conversation of man with an uncertain, aloof maker, and
telling him of the marvels and the horrors seen… on walks through uncertain
lands.

A long
time ago, the idea came… that the jobs you do to put food on the table, or
clothes on your back, have their necessity in our lives,(no huge light bulb
there)
But the
things you do… to continue a conversation, the things you do in the absence
of any real biological need, the things you do, to speak to an uncertain and
unknown audience, this conversation you are called to pick up; well that is
work that has necessity in our souls.
And that
is the work VGS has chosen to do.
For good or ill, with
humor and with hubris, VGS is a small artists collaborative committed to
telling stories. Via mediums of film, and paper, and voltages in a screen,
we are bloody hunters returning to scribble our tales of violence and vision
on digital cave walls.
Visions Gate Studio is building fires in dark places, and around them we tell
stories, to make you laugh, and fear, and hope.
We are VGS and we hope
to tell stories the way stories were told to us...
The way we were taught
The
old fashioned way…
With all our might.
And
along the way will we stumble?… of course, will we fail? Without question.
Will we yield? Never.
Because
at the end of the day telling stories is what it's all about.
It’s
all that it’s about.
Join us as at VGS as
with fits and starts we share our stories… with you. [heroictimes at yahoo]
