Featured Students
Jess Eichen - The Con Artist (Writer/Director)
Before I started working with Off The Script, I didn’t have any real experience making films with other people, much less with other teenagers like me. I was amazed by how talented everyone was. Everyone’s unique skills are brought out and utilized so that everything that goes into making an amazing production is covered. I see more experienced members encourage new members to pursue their interests. Nate Drew has a clear vision for the future of independent filmmaking. Teenagers like me with not a lot of money or resources should be able to share in this art form. He has been finding other like-minded and equally talented young people to help make that vision a reality. Nate has a knack for business, art, story, innovation, and acceleration, and this studio has been rapidly growing because of it.
Cameron Parker - Detective Carlson (The Report)
Working on “The Report” for OTS Films was a truly unique experience. I had never done any screen acting prior to this film and the entire team was so gracious in helping me transition from stage to screen. There was always clear and helpful communication between everyone involved and there was never a time where my time was wasted in any way which was incredibly efficient and professional. All-in-all I loved working on this film and wish the team and everyone at OTS a successful future in film-making.
Bella Monzo - Engram (Producer)
Working with such a dedicated cast and crew on the production of Engram was an overall incredible experience. All members of OTS are passionate and hard workers who are constantly eager to not only succeed in the film industry but also to share knowledge, lend helping hands, and be supportive team members, even outside of their work. Through the difficult time of COVID-19, school work, and family priorities, our team never failed in working hard and staying on task. Our work was strategic while working with such a tight schedule, and each member was constantly in the mindset of making this short film the best that it could be! Our hard work paid off. Working with such talented people makes me realize how this type of environment, filming and behind the scenes, is a career that I want to pursue in my life. I am truly amazed by the dedication each member possessed through production and can not wait to work with them more in the future!
