Independent film & motion picture production company

The independent film production company known as BluNile Films was conceived on a dusty road somewhere in Ventura County, California back in 1994. Our CEO and Founder Norm Novitsky’s notion to be an independent film producer took awhile to mature. It took years of dedication to the idea and time and study invested to learn the craft. But it has paid off: we’re now in post-production on our first feature motion picture, Pray for Morning, a riveting small-budget horror film with a great original story, in the tradition of great independent films.

We have a specific take on making movies. We aim to develop and produce independent films that entertain, spark emotions and take filmgoers on an emotional high, while maintaining artistic and commercial credibility. When viewers leave the theater we want them to have been moved -- and to tell others, “You have to go see this movie!”

Our business model is a 3-to-5 small-budget films slate per year aimed at 18 to 25-year-olds who form the largest domestic and international movie-going audience. We know that a small-budget film that appeals to this market is the shortest road to minimizing financial risk and realizing profits for our investors. Hence, our property acquisition, our production schedule, and our selection of industry skill and talent are all geared toward this model.

In addition to our first full-length motion picture, Pray for Morning, scheduled for release in 2006, we also have an animation series in development, and another feature film and a documentary in early stages of production.
