The Company

Trost Moving Pictures is an independent film studio based in Tulsa, OK that has been making waves in the entertainment arena. Our first multi-award winning film FIND ME, has been awarded both Best Feature and Best Actor at multiple film festivals. Our second film, A CHRISTMAS SNOW is set to be released nationwide in October 2010 through Destiny Image Films and stars, Catherine Mary Stewart (The Last Starfighter), Muse Watson (Prison Break, NCIS), Anthony Tyler Quinn (No Greater Love, Boy Meets World), and Cameron ten Napel (Super, Pink). We are actively pursuing many exciting projects with the movers and shakers of the entertainment industry.

That’s the official statement, the real deal is we’re just a bunch of guys who love working together to tell stories through film and video with the purpose of affecting positive change in the lives of those we come in contact with. If it was just about entertainment, we’d get bored quick, but it’s more than that, it’s: hate, love, pain, joy, failure, success, despair and inspiration… it’s LIFE.
