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 50s 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.
Its
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."
