Holler Back Pictures makes films that tell the truth about the mountains — the people, the history, and the life that Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
The "hillbilly" caricature is one of the last stereotypes America still laughs at out loud. We're a studio built to answer it — not with a lecture, but with great movies. Stories that run from a hundred years back to right now, told by the people who actually live them.
A growing lineup of Appalachian stories — features, shorts, and documentaries — produced through our lean studio and its production arms.
Every project we make runs on three commitments. They're not marketing — they're how we work.
Real mountain life — its dignity, humor, hardship, and beauty — instead of the worn-out caricature.
We hire and train Appalachian talent and crew — keeping the work, and the wages, in the region.
A lean studio with production arms underneath — so we can make a lot, without losing what makes it ours.
Actors, writers, gaffers, grips, editors, location scouts, sound folks, drivers, caterers — every film takes a crew, and we'd rather build ours from the mountains. Tell us what you do.
Drop your info and we'll reach out when something fits.
