Our production company specializes in "Living Documentaries," which are shorts and features concerned with immediate topics dealing with living persons. We have multiple projects in stages of pre-production, recording, and post-production. Here are some of our favorites:

Nameless: Revealing a Generation
nameless-the-movie.com

New Savvy Productions' first feature-length movie is a documentary planned for release December 2012, titled Nameless: Revealing a Generation. The producer and filmmakers will examine the experiences, lifestyles, and pespectives of young adults aged 19-25, a specific segment of the so-called "New Boomers," "Millennials," or "Generation Y." Conducting interviews across the nation, and tracing the arc of some key stories as they unfold, the filmmakers aspire to capture the collective voice of 22 million young Americans as they in turn aspire to make names for themselves in an increasingly competitive reality.

The Art of Being Magnus Agustsson
newsavvyproductions.com/magnus

Dr. Magnus Agustsson is a fascinating Icelandic physician and sculptor living and working near the waterfront in Kingston, New York. He sculpts beautifully detailed and emotionally evocative statues in many styles, sizes, and themes — from classical works to popular culture icons, literary figures, whimsical subjects, animals, mystical creatures... a seeminly endless array. His work has been featured in New York and Washington D.C. galleries and shows. With his dynamic life history, his staggering range of experiences, and his enlightened wisdom, he also offers philosophical insight into many subjects. We spent several hours over two days with the doctor and his wife Diane (a painter and designer in her own right), documenting their work, their thoughts, and the contents of their fine art gallery. This "extended short" movie is forthcoming by January 2012.

Doc's Motor Court
A short documentary - coming soon.

Ellie Caruthers, 84 years old and the wife of the late Herbert "Doc" Caruthers, continues to run the motel her husband built in 1948. It is the oldest motel in Colonial Beach, Virginia, an historic little resort on the Potomac River. One would never presume to guess Ellie's age - she is charming and eloquent, hard-working and resourceful, and loved and appreciated by her many regular guests as well as the locals. She maintains the motel independently, and apart from offering WiFi to her guests, the accomodations are essentially as they would have been many years ago, with plenty of vintage features, including the original neon sign. We met Ellie while sight-seeing, and we couldn't resist the opportunity to document her quaint, authentic establishment, as well as her memories, her love of "Doc," and her commitment to maintain Doc's Motor Court in a traditional manner as long as she lives.
