“Stephen Savage is one of a handful of new film directors who actually get it. It’s not always about the big budget. Tell a good story and the rest will follow. His directing style is accessible yet contemporarily viable.”
“Stephen Savage is one of a handful of new film directors who actually get it. It’s not always about the big budget. Tell a good story and the rest will follow. His directing style is accessible yet contemporarily viable.”
“The unique thing about Savage isn’t that he was chosen (by AFI and the Sundance Channel), but that he is the only director picked who has yet to shoot a film with a budget exceeding $2 million.”
“One of the biggest surprises of the 2008 Palm Springs international Film Festival. The writing and directing are impeccably smart. Stephen Savage has given us something very sweet.”
“Cosmic Radio is not big budget fare. Truly a maverick undertaking. No big studio. No monster budget. Just good old fashioned filmmaking and a lot of heart.”
Lunatopia is a fully functioning film, commercial, and music video company. We have in-house and out-sourcing talent to cover every aspect of film and video production and post-production. From feature films and commercial ad spots, short films and documentaries, to music video and production music, on any budget scale, we are dedicated to quality entertainment and the visual arts. Producing, directing, writing, editing; from pre-production, casting, contractual and artist union liaison, through to the actual creative process (writing, filming, recording), and finally to the marketing of the finished work, our goal is simple: create a professional product. With our in-house writers and directors, and with the support of our highly talented freelance associates, we have what it takes to achieve entertainment excellence on a par with much bigger indie studios.
The jewels in our crown are the award winning screenwriter/director/composer and editor, Stephen Savage, and our in-house producer/director/editor, Galina Leinen; both of whom bring a level of experience and dedication not usually found in most small companies. Our free-lance filmmaking and production support team includes renowned director of photography Tarina Reed, and master post-production guru, Adam DuPlay. Plus, we have access to a long list of phenomenal creative and management talent, allowing us the freedom to give every project a "More Bang For The Buck" production value. In short... we love to make magic. On the movie screen, the TV, or in the recording studio, Lunatopia is quickly become the symbol of overachievement.
