Vague Productions is a very young production company committed to the ideal of promoting creativity, through creativity. The projects which Vague Productions will endorse are only those which present something thought-provoking which incorporates many voices. We stick by our mission statement:
People are inherently creative.
Every person knows they deserve a voice; even if they are not yet aware that people want to hear it.
Give people the tools and they will say something, profound or trivial, which is absolutely worth hearing.
Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes towards the sky!
Vague Productions is interested in the arts community and making it possible for every person who feels they have something artistic to say to have a forum from which to achieve their goals. With the many advances we have seen in the digital age it has become increasingly realistic for the average, pocket-funded, DIY artist to explore their own imagination, however, the problem still remains that the world does not take this platform seriously. The years of music on websites like Myspace and Reverb Nation, the countless days worth of video uploaded to Youtube daily, and the hundreds of millions of photographs which you can view on Flickr inundate the average arts and media consumer and is therefore written off as being part of an unending, pig-pile of mediocrity.
We say, "Nay!" Sure a vast majority of the creative ventures on the internet are not professional-looking but they never claimed to be and we know that the next George Lucas, or Pedro Almodovar, or Orson Welles has content on the web somewhere right now.
Our first project as Vague Productions proper is a project by our very own founder, Nick Gilbert, inspired by the work of Mike D'Errico as the Attic Bat. The New Hampshire Project (Press Kit available at http://www.mediafire.com/?nmwftdmz2nu) is a project which will be shot on an affordable camera with as little crew and resources as humanly possible and featuring DIY music by the Attic Bat. The New Hampshire Project sets out to turn the camera on New Hampshire and the community therein in order to involve them in their local arts community. The hope is that by feeling as if they are a part of the community itself then they will be more apt to support local artists and realize, in fact, that they have the ability to be creative themselves.
We think Ansel Adams said it best when he said:
Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
Go forth and make something incredible; at the very least you won't here any judgements from us. Thank you so much!
