About Us

OWNER, PRESIDENT - LAURENCE MAHER

Holding a bachelor's degree in Radio/TV/Film (with a minor in music) from the University of North Texas, Laurence went on to establish the company Acton Video Productions, specializing in film and video at every level, including commercials, narratives, weddings, and event videography. Trying to make the difficult transition into movies, Laurence later formed the independent film production company AMP ENTERTAINMENT, under which he wrote, directed, and co-produced his first feature, ALMOST. His second feature, the action-thriller RECEIVER, is currently in production, and his third film, a feature horror, is in the works. Laurence has written and directed an abundance of short films, was the director of photography for several shorts and features, has written and recorded a full-length pop music album, and is the author of many short stories, 2 novels and a large number of screenplays. His hobbies include weight training, martial arts and playing trombone. 2006 will mark the premiere of his absurdist Web/TV comedy series, ONE CHEAP MOVE.
