Local production companies partner with Assembly Studios to boost independent film production

Two local film production companies have partnered with Assembly Studios, planning to produce their next slate of films using the studio’s resources.

Autumn Bailey Entertainment (ABE) and Braveheart Entertainment announced the partnership with Assembly in December of last year. According to a press release, both companies aim to “build a sustainable model for high-quality, character-driven storytelling that blends artistry, efficiency, and innovation.”

Autumn Bailey-Ford, founder of Autumn Bailey Entertainment, said that she first began considering the possibility of a partnership while chatting with a group of film producers at a mixer hosted by Assembly Studios in September of last year.

“I asked if they would be interested in supporting local independent filmmakers to bring awareness and assistance to indie films,” she said in an email.

Around that time, Ty Walker, founder of Braveheart Entertainment, began having similar thoughts about how partnering with a local studio might help boost indie production. Assembly, which is managed by Universal Production Services, seemed like the perfect fit.

“Within my 20 years, I’ve been on a lot of stages, in the United States and out,” Walker said. “This is the best stage I’ve ever been on. You can tell that it wasn’t just a real estate play. The people involved in building Assembly, you can tell, are also filmmakers. They know the world.”
