THE WRECKING CREW

Three award-winning film makers with over 40 years of experience formed Wrecking Crew Productions — named after “The Wrecking Crew”, a dedicated group of strong-minded individuals taking matters into their own hands, featured in our multiple-award-winning film “The Vanishing of Dolores Wulff”.
The film was produced with every aspect handled in-house  from concept to score to locked cut — and was completed in six months, on schedule and under budget. And that’s our approach — cutting red tape, eliminating waste and focusing on the creative for high-end results.
