In 2003, three sixth grade students huddled around a mini-DV camera and pressed "record" for the first time. It was their intention to shoot and edit a short film entitled "Tucker's Ten", a middle school comedy about students attempting to rob their school's permanent record vault. The project was soon abandoned and the footage was stored out of sight.

For the next three years, these same students; Elan Krojanker, Lee Mirowitz, and Joe Weil continued their attempts to make movies, but never saw their efforts come to fruition.

In 2006, the three students successfully created their first short film, "The Election", which followed the fictional events of Joe Weil's run for student council president (it should be noted, however, that the events are loosely based on reality). Using a projector and a white sheet in the fabulous venue of the Weil backyard, Psycho Films had their first successful premiere.

A year later, after sloppily completing their first two attempts at the 48 Hour Film Festival, the filmmaker's set their sights on a far more ambitious project.

In August of 2007 the crew, filled with new faces and a Canon GL2, began production on Frame By Frame, a feature-length mockumentary that told the story of four college dropouts who dreamed of making it big in Hollywood. The film, filled with raunchy humor and shocking expletives, wrapped production the following February, and on May 4th, at the new venue of Tivoli Theater, it premiered to a crowd of 300.

As the theater emptied and buzz around the film mostly fueled by high school friends died down, the filmmakers once again decided to prove that they were far more capable story tellers than previously thought.

After holding auditions for the first time in its history (attending by aspiring talent from local high schools), Psycho Films dove headfirst into the production of Chalk, a drama that followed four high school students during one year of their education in 1995. This film, unlike anything previously dreamed of, featured an original theatrical score, new color and editing techniques, scenes featuring a plethora of extra, and a requirement for performances that were no longer silly, but rather touching. Helped by their first significant press coverage, the Psycho Films team unveiled Chalk to a sold out crowd of 500 people. Finally, people were paying attention.

And, in keeping with tradition, the boys at Psycho Films once again upped the ante. The summer that Chalk was in post production, Weil was approached by long time friend Paul Brick with an idea for a film; together, the two shared and elaborated until they had collaborated on what would become The Pascal Sign. Joined by new editors, cinematographers, and producers, Psycho Films began plans to create its most complex story yet. Featuring HD Cameras, professional actors discovered through a national casting call, and locations never dreamed of before, The Pascal Sign finished shooting in June of 2010 and was released that winter. It is currently running the national festival circuit, and may soon be coming to a theater near you.

For now, Psycho Films in in post production on their newest feature, Welcome To Shirley...

...so the best is yet to come
