Veridical Productions

About this original series

This video blog showcases some of our collaborative works as independent filmmakers - those of James Fritzshall, Jason Knowles, and Dan Rathbun - begining with movies we produced in the early days as undergraduate film students at the University of Kansas. It also presents projects we are currently collaborating on from a distance as well as individual films.While "Veridical Productions" is not yet a company, we actively create our projects using this name as our label (although in the past, we have also called ourselves "Colfax Productions," "Splukus Film FX," and "Haggis Productions"). We hope you enjoy our films.(This blog is currently maintained by Jason Knowles.)
