About
The Fallbrook Film Factory was created to bring filmmaking to creative people who would not ordinarily get to experience it. It offers a truly incredible art experience for Fallbrook and its neighboring communities.
The timing is perfect for the Fallbrook Film Factory. The paradigm shift of movie making technology to digital has made filmmaking accessible to talents outside the traditional film industry. Until just recently, there were huge barriers to theatrical film making. The cost to produce was prohibitive, typically in the millions, and the equipment, the know-how, and the processes were available only to a privileged few. Today, independent filmmaking is beginning to flourish like never before and there are in fact many distribution outlets coming on line to serve this niche market.
Adding to the good timing for the ‘Factory’ is that Fallbrook itself is seeking to become an artistic center for the region (similar to Santa Fe or Laguna Beach) and all the communities’ arts organizations are banding together to bring notoriety and tourism to Fallbrook. So there is a synergy and level of cooperation among the various Fallbrook creative organizations that did not exist before.
Mission
The Fallbrook Film Factory’s mission is to form a serious filmmaking (drama, documentaries, etc.) capability in our area and provide a chance for young and old to get real-world, hands-on experience.
Founders
An art director had a vision. It was to create a filmmaking capability for the community – a place for young and old alike to experience the art of filmmaking. Ronald Shattuck purchased all the equipment necessary and spent the next 15 months testing and integrating his systems. His plan was to pair up experienced filmmakers, directors, writers, actors, and producers with those wanting to be so. He, in turn, would provide the hardware necessary to turn these creative talents and energies into actual films, whether they are 5-minute shorts or more major productions.
Since Ronald’s vision was huge, he needed partners, such as Donna Walden, who he named to be Executive Director to mange the business side and put structure around his concept. It was decided early on that the nature of this enterprise was such that it should be incorporated as a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.
