Production Company Profile: The Orphanage
The Orphanage is a motion picture production company dedicated to producing
innovative digital feature films for theatrical release. The company was
founded by independent filmmakers and former Industrial Light + Magic visual
effects artists, Scott Stewart and Jonathan Rothbart. By grouping feature
film development and production together with a proven team of visual
effects artists and designers at the San Francisco based facility, The
Orphanage is able to develop and produce a slate of entertaining, story
driven independent films that have the production value of major studio
pictures at a considerably lower cost than previously possible. A number of
the company’s short film projects will be premiering this January in Park
City as part of the Sundance, Slamdance and DigiDance film festivals. In
addition to original motion picture production, The Orphanage team is
currently completing visual-effects work on the upcoming Disney release
Brian DePalma’s MISSION TO MARS starring Tim Robbins and Gary Sinise.
