Background

In 1991, Greenstem Productions, Inc. was established to produce films which touch thoughts and feelings within an audience. Giving opportunities for new and independent writers and directors with the chance to make their films, is also the goal of the company. The company has stayed true to finding that talent with the screenplays and their writers.

The one belief that the company stands by is the tradition of learning from the very best professional talent behind the scenes. Placing productions with new talent and highly experienced pros to create the best possible production value. Greenstem melds the ideas and goals of new filmmakers with Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy® winners and nominees in all aspects of filmmaking.

In the first year of the company's existence, it produced a full-length feature called "Blade" (not to be confused with the 1998 Wesley Snipes vampire movie.)
