Ewing "Lucky" Brown

Ewing M. Brown began his Hollywood career as a child star playing one of the Little Rascals (the mean rich kid, Stinky) in the Our Gang comedies at Hal Roach Studios.

Over the course of seven decades, he has acted for every major studio in Hollywood. His favorite role was Charlie Ryker in the classic western Shane for George Stevens.

Mr. Brown has been in an enviable position, as an insider, to observe the Hollywood scene for over 60 years. He established himself in the production side of filmmaking in the early 50’s as head editor for Emperor Films, moving on to Robert L. Lippert Studios to take on editorial and production responsibilities.

In 1957, he formed his own company to handle production and post-production on Kingdom of the Sea and Divorce Hearing.


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

It’s no wonder he goes by his nickname, "LUCKY" Brown.



Movie Tech Studios is not only still going strong, but in 1976, Brown purchased his own property and built a complete production studio with facilities and equipment to handle every part of film production, from script to answer print, with a crew on hand and ready to go.

The walls at Movie Tech display awards from all over the world for films produced and/or directed by Mr. Brown. Movie Tech has been involved in the production of not only feature films, but also numerous television shows, and over four hundred commercials and public service announcements.

As the head of a movie studio, with over 44 years experience in motion picture production, Mr. Brown is sometimes called upon by banks and the Internal Revenue Service to provide appraisals of both motion picture film and motion picture memorabilia.

Today, as president and owner of Movie Tech Studios, Mr. Brown is fully involved behind the cameras, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience traditionally found only in the major studios, which explains why the Hollywood Reporter calls Movie Tech "…the Mini-Major Studio."
