AB3 has humble beginnings of a boy making movies with his father and uncle since childhood. It was never about fame or glory, most people never even saw their films that exist only on old VHS tapes and DVD's.
It was always about the magic of movies and storytelling. AB3 seeks to return to a time in cinema where it is about the filmmaker, and the magic of experiencing the unadulterated visions of independent filmmakers without the corporate agendas of the large studios.
AB3 is all story and spectacle, two things Hollywood is currently lacking.
Back in the 80's and 90's my father and his best friend created Phantom and Percepter using GI Joe Action Figures and drawing comic books in composition notebooks. When I was a kid, my dad shared these with me, not knowing my childhood brain crafted a story that even little kid me knew was worth telling.
After making many, lets be honest, cringey at best home movies in high school with my buddies I went to film school and made the first short film rendition of Phantom and Percepter. With little to no experience and given the reigns as only a freshman, it was pretty subpar. But I still believed in it, and more importantly I saw that other people believed in it too.
After college I founded AB3 and began work on P&P the feature immeditately. We raised a couple thousand dollars but other than that it was entirely self funded with essentially no budget, just a bunch of crazy kids determined to tell a story. To this day, no matter that happens next with P&P, giving my dad the chance to actually play Phantom makes all of this worth it.
But we are far from done. The work is just beginning. We've proven what we can do with nothing, imagine what we can do with a real budget, and the ability to take our time and not be rushing against the clock! We are going to make a trilogy of movies, Lord of the Rings style, grand, epic, and most importantly tell our story.
What sets us apart from the rest? We're not in it for the money. We want to tell our story, and there is nothing that is going to stop us. Not everyone has the conviction we do, because ours is generational and thirty years in the making. P&P swear.
