As founders of Goff-Kellam Productions,
Gina and Laura produce original material created by brilliant
and budding, as well as established, writer and director talent.
The two share the mutual goal and interest of producing unique
independent films and television programs with genres that offer
appeal to niche and broad audiences alike. Examples of previous
favorite genres produced by Goff-Kellam Productions include
inspirational material, material with a social conscience, romantic
comedy and psychological thrillers. |
|
| The duo has produced diversified projects
since 1998. They have many projects in development,
and currently maintain the optioned rights for numerous original feature
length screenplays intended for theatrical release and original scripts
written for television programming. In addition, they have partnered
with a few select writers on projects during very early stages of
development, some as early as a mere concept. In these instances,
collaboration began with the writers during the idea phase, continued
through the finished screenplay and into development. The pair continues
the natural collaborative process of development, always with the
goal of advancing the project into the next phase, production. Development
efforts include, but are not limited to, prospecting, negotiating
and securing principle talent and project funding. Depending on the
project, they simultaneously pursue independent financing and/or explore
the potential of a co-production with reputable entities known to
have funding or distribution in place. Their principle goal while
in development is seeking, finding and securing suitable means to
move a script from the writer's paper to the director's screen. |
|
Goff and Kellam actively circulate all of their films on the festival
circuit. Collectively, the films have screened in hundreds of festivals
around the globe, most in showcase screenings. The films have screened
to countless "sold out" theater audiences and have garnered
dozens of prestigious awards.
Their primary goals with persistent and extensive film festival
exhibition include circulating the film for maximum audience exposure
and prompting favorable notoriety for the film's content and talent.
By carefully selecting appropriate festival venues, they ultimately
procure the end goal of drawing distribution interest to their films. |

Goff and Kellam deliver a
hands-on approach to producing each project.
On the projects for which they have successfully acquired
financing and subsequently advanced into production, Laura
and Gina were deeply involved in every phase of each production;
including pre production, production and post production,
followed by worldwide film festival submissions and circulation.
When applicable, they spearhead the process of attracting,
attaining and negotiating distribution terms for the domestic
and international theatrical, DVD, cable and television licensing
rights. |
Gina and Laura share many common interests like attending film
festivals, traveling, watching films, beach activities, water sports
and spending quality time with family and friends. In addition,

interest in real estate investment and refurbishing projects. They
are currently active members of Outfest Los Angeles and FIND (Independent
Feature Project/Los Angeles). They were selected as participants
in FIND's 2003 Producers Lab, an honor and vote of confidence for
