TINY PANIC FILMS:

 

In 2015, Carol and Meredith met on the set of the film CHRISTOPHER DARLING.

Once wrapped, the two kept in touch, and Meredith sent Carol the script for PET NAMES. The rest is history.

Combining their sensibilities (Carol on details, logistics, and production; Meredith on humanity, emotion, and style) the two have made several projects together, including music videos for Meredith’s musical alter-ego, Warm Human.

PINK MOON has been their long-awaited third feature collaboration, and they couldn’t be more excited to make the story come to life.
