Barn Door Pictures is an Independent Film Production Company formed in 2008 by Mary Stuart Masterson, her brother Peter C.B. Masterson, and longtime collaborator Steven Weisman. The company is developing and producing projects for Film, Television, Stage and New Media.

In their first year of operations they completed the feature film, “TICKLING LEO”, written and directed by Jeremy Davidson, which will premiere at the 2009 Stony Brook Film Festival with a limited theatrical release starting September 4th, 2009. In addition they Donna the Buffalo’s first-ever music video, “Locket and Key”.

A truly independent company with the means, experience (and barn!) to produce projects in-house, Barn Door also looks to establish new relationships in both Creative and Business partnerships, developing properties that span genres and budget-levels.

Surrounding themselves with a supremely talented group of co-conspirators who share a common vision, Barn Door Pictures has the long-term goal of creating an environment to nurture filmmakers and develop stories from their earliest stages into production, through post-production, to completion, fulfilling the simple and humble goal of fostering World Peace and Global Harmony one film at a time.

With the ever-changing landscape of Independent Film production and distribution, Barn Door Pictures is dedicated to building the better mouse trap.*
