Welling Films End of Year Summary


I am confident in saying that we have met our goals this year, along with acquiring distribution for two features we managed to be awarded with over 150 festival wins this year. We also started a new feature wrapped two others. 


Big things happening with 5 features - Wow.


It has always been my goal to see Welling FIlms be a better caretaker of our Executive Producers and their companies that we are grateful to serve. We are so thankful to be given a chance to do what we love to do - make great cinema because of them. In working towards this goal, it always starts with cast and crew that have been consistently making magic with Welling Films for 15 years plus. I can say that 2022 has turned out better than I expected.

Welling Films Accomplishments for 2022 - let's light up the sky


Achieving something significant in our area of work begins with small steps. Below are a few of the achievements I was privileged to gain this year both small and big in 2022:

THE THUNDEROUS GALLOP OF A HORSE...IS GETTING LOUDER

"IF I COULD RIDE"

THE THUNDEROUS GALLOP OF A HORSE.

DURING THE EARLY MONTHS OF 2022, WE SAW “IF I COULD RIDE” LIGHT UP THE SILVER SCREEN FOR THE WORLD PREMIER AT CINEMARK FOR WORLDFEST AND THEN A MONTH LATER FOR THE NORTHERN PREMIER AT THE ELEGANT LEBANON OPERA HOUSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.


WITH OVER 30 HORSES AND TRAINED RIDERS PLUS WELL OVER A HUNDRED EXTRAS TO SUPPORT OUR WONDERFUL LEADS EVA IGO, TOM VERA AND Alexis Arnold on the Silver Screen, THIS HEARTFELT “EQUESTRIAN” HORSE FILM, WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY DON MILLER OF MILLER PICTURES, WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS. HAULING IN WELL OVER 7 BEST ACTING AWARDS, A BEST CAST ENSEMBLE AWARD, 10 BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY AWARDS TO ADD TO THE WELL OVER 130 FESTIVAL WINS FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN 2022 ALONE.  TRAILER

GIANT SUBMARINE TAKES A NEW COURSE.

WE ALSO HAD THE HONOR TO SEE OUR FAMED FEATURE OF 2021, “NARCO SUB”, LEAVE PORT UNDER A NEW TITLE FOR DISTRIBUTION AT ROKU AS “THE SHIPMENT”. WELLING FILMS WAS HONORED TO WORK FOR DEEPWATER PRODUCTIONS MOTION PICTURE GROUP TO CREATE THIS FANTASTIC HIGH ADVENTURE FILM WITH A UNIQUE STORY BY E.P. - DEREK POTTS.  I MUST SAY FILMING IN A GIANT RUSSIAN SUB FOR THIS FILM, WOW “BUCKET LIST”.

It’s a wrap with monsters, heroes and spaceships.

Three new features on the horizon with “Monstrous: Interview with a Killer” and “Great American Action Hero” wrapped this year now in post production, plus principle photography almost complete on the exciting third new feature “Mission From Outer Space” . Be sure and catch the big write up for “Mission From Outer Space” focusing on actress EmmaRain Welling in Texas Lifestyle Magazine on Jan 15. 


In addition to our leads Alexis Arnold, Tom Vera, and Eva Igo from “If I Could Ride” reprising their roles as leads with Welling Films in all three films plus 5 time "Best Actress" winner Preslee Tucker of "If I Could Run" back on set, we saw some Hollywood hit stars take the reign in these 3 new films such as Lee Majors (Six Million Dollar Man ), Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan), Terry Kiser (Weekend at Bernie’s), Robert Lasardo (The Mule) and Jake Busey (Stormship Troopers). 


New on the horizon EmmaRain Welling will take lead along with Tom Vera, Alexis Arnold and Lee Majors in "Mission From Outer Space”.
