Castner's Cutthroats
A forgotten band of frontiersmen, fishermen, and trappers — the first Americans called to defend Alaska's western shore during the Second World War. A story of unlikely men in an unforgiving country.
View Project →We make films that engage the senses regardless of topic — character pieces told with patience and craft. Texas is our home and our compass: the long horizons, the silences, the weight of the past sitting in a room with the present.
No spectacle for its own sake. Just stories worth the telling.

In April 2014, Joren launched his screenwriting career by co-writing The Short Game, released in theaters and now streaming on Amazon Prime and the Angel Channel. He later partnered with Steve Dini to co-write and produce The Great Turkey Town Miracle, also released theatrically and now available on multiple platforms. Joren additionally co-wrote and produced Didymos, currently unreleased. Originally from California, he now resides in McKinney, Texas with his wife Wendy, while his two adult daughters live in Seattle and San Jose.

A relocated Californian now living in Texas, Steve has written or co-written 14 feature or short scripts, six of which have been optioned — including The Great Turkey Town Miracle, co-written with Joren, now streaming on Amazon Prime after a theatrical run. Steve's latest project, Castner's Cutthroats is a story Steve loves and truly feels it is a tale that needs to be told again and again.
