A new forward-thinking multi-generational Production Company with footing in

Hailing from the team behind Project Write Now, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization transforming individuals, organizations, and communities through writing, Last Stop Productions highlights unique voices to bring honest, thoughtful stories to life.
​
Last Stop Productions was founded in 2021 by six individuals with varied backgrounds and skillsets, who shared a common passion for great film and television content. Several of the partners have deep experience in all facets of script development and highly successful, award winning film and television production. Four of the partners are accomplished award-winning screenwriters, creating unique, engaging horror/paranormal and comedy content. With several high quality, fully developed screenplays in hand, the partners set out to take their passion to the next level.
