Vanishing Angle is a creative force in independent filmmaking, driven by a passion for original stories that challenge conventions and connect deeply with audiences.

Established in 2010, the company has produced 30 feature films, including Tina Romero's QUEENS OF THE DEAD (Tribeca Audience Award), Josh Ruben’s WEREWOLVES WITHIN (Tribeca), Jim Cummings' THUNDER ROAD (SXSW Grand Jury Prize, Spirit Award nominee), Jocelyn DeBoer & Dawn Luebbe's GREENER GRASS (Sundance, Spirit Award nominee), Sean Mullin’s IT AIN’T OVER (Sony Pictures Classics), Danny Madden's BEAST BEAST (Sundance), Patrick Wang's THE GRIEF OF OTHERS (Cannes, SXSW), Dennis Hauck's TOO LATE (starring Academy Award® Nominee John Hawkes), Hanna Ladoul & Marco La Via's WE THE COYOTES (Cannes), Patrick Wang's A BREAD FACTORY (Spirit Award nominee), Jim Cummings' THE BETA TEST (Berlin, Tribeca), HP Mendoza's THE SECRET ART OF HUMAN FLIGHT (Tribeca), Cutter Hodierne's COLD WALLET (SXSW), and Jim Cummings’ THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW.

We treat short films as so much more important than just a calling card. Short films instigated key creative growth for many of our directors, creating new worlds and characters that they fell in love with and built from. Several of Vanishing Angle’s features, including Beast Beast (Sundance), Greener Grass (Sundance), and Thunder Road (SXSW Grand Jury Prize), all started as award-winning shorts.
Vanishing Angle will be partnering with post-production house DryDock to offer free post-finishing services to one short film every year. These services include color-correction, DCP creation, film festival strategy sessions, and marketing and release planning. These services are valued at approximately $15,000.
