Any story worth telling has a beginning, middle, and an end.

 
A celebration of our work over the last 12 years featuring footage and outtakes from all of our projects--including those that were never released or abandoned.

Founded in 2008 by Los Angeles natives Mike Manning, Wesley Barker and Dane Naimy, BME Films strives to create exciting and artistic projects across film, television and digital platforms. With a focus on genre storytelling, we want to challenge our audience with thought-provoking ideas and themes that are packaged in the familiar molds and time-tested techniques that made us fall in love with filmmaking.
