Welcome to the blog for Daros Films. Here you will be able to keep track of our current and upcoming projects.
Daros Films was formed with the goal to “reclaim.” This was central to the selection of the name, and is central to the goal of the organization. For too long, the beautiful art form of filmmaking has leaned toward something mindless, something purely sensual that does not delve any deeper than mere entertainment. Almost what a Sunday morning comic would be to art, or a limerick would be to well crafted prose. Granted, they are very, very well produced comics and limericks, and make a lot of money in the box offices, but there needs to be a place for something that lasts beyond the final credits.
It should be said that we do not claim to be the answer to this problem. Like a soldier heading off to fight a battle, we are looking to do what we can to better filmmaking. We don’t claim to be the solution, but we would be very remiss if we didn’t do everything we could to bring beauty from our passion for others to enjoy and think about.
We also believe in the Story. The Story is what goes on around us everyday, and through something larger than ourselves, is crafted inexplicably into each of our lives. It is comedy, tragedy, epic, intimate, and everything else we derive our worldviews from. We believe it is the source for our little stories, and since we cannot all share the same experiences, we would like to reflect what parts of the Story we have seen and benefited by for the sake of others.
Be it short or feature length, we will continue to grow and try to hone our craft into something worthwhile. So please, check back with us as we continue on, subscribe to our RSS feed, and if you are interested in partnering with us to tell the stories that we find are worth telling, we would be glad to pull up a chair and listen.
Sincerely,
Those of us in Daros Films
P.S. It is also our goal to be as transparent as possible. The movie isn’t about the credits, and neither is Daros Films. While we may avoid using names, it shouldn’t stop you from contacting us. We’re always on the lookout for people who are more interested in telling stories than making their own name bigger.
