In a city where most companies rise and fall in the space of a few years, 44 year-old MOVIE TECH STUDIOS is something of a rarity.

The first complete production studio to be erected from the ground up since World War II, Movie Tech Studios has complete facilities and equipment to handle every part of film production, with a crew on hand and ready to go.

A member of both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Movie Tech Studios is listed with the Better Business Bureau, Dun and Bradstreet, and Movie Tech president and owner Ewing "Lucky" Brown has been listed as an Honored Professional of the National Directory of Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals. Mr. Brown has worked on films in almost every capacity, from film editor and cameraman to director and producer. Legendary talent coordinator Jeanne De Vivier Brown also plays a key role in film making at the studio.

The walls at Movie Tech display film awards from all over the world. A Whale of a Tale (starring William Shatner), produced and directed by Mr. Brown, won numerous awards, including First Place at the Virgin Islands International Film Festival, the Milan Film Festival, the New Orleans Film Festival, as well as receiving an Award of Excellence from the Film Advisory Board, which recognizes excellence in films.

The Blood of Dracula’s Castle, on which Mr. Brown served as a producer, was the highest grossing film the week of its debut in the city of Los Angeles. Mr. Brown was also a producer on Marco Polo, which, likewise, was the highest grossing picture of its time in the Philippines. Mr. Brown was a producer on the award winning The Day Shadow Mountain Died, and he produced and directed Life of Queen Victoria for PBS Television.

MTM Productions worked with Movie Tech on two of their top shows, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere, while Paramount used Movie Tech for Police Squad. Warner Brothers turned to Movie Tech for second unit work on the feature film Soup for Two, as did Transworld for The Tomb and Prison Ship. Movie Tech worked on Armed Response and Cyclone for Cinetel as well as numerous other feature films, including Friday the 13th, Part II, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, and First Monday in October.

Movie Tech has worked on over four hundred commercials and public service announcements for clients such as British Airways, Sunkist, Kellogg’s, and Exxon.

Recently, Mr. Brown served as Executive Producer on the soon-to-be-released The Thundering 8th, currently in post-production and starring Larry Wilcox, Jan-Michael Vincent, Bo Hopkins, and June Lockheart.

The Stoneman, with Pat Morita, Christopher Atkins, Robin Riker, Ron Masak and Stephen Henneberry tentatively slated to star, is currently in development at the studio, along with a second picture, Dismembered.

With a wealth of history and experience traditionally found only in the major studios, Movie Tech continues to be a vital movie-making force, which is why the Hollywood Reporter calls Movie Tech "…the Mini-Major Studio."
