Bait Shop produces 6 short films a year, prioritizing first time writers and directors who are scared shitless by the prospect of filmmaking. Contact us if you are such a shitless individual.

Yes, one a year. But we’re rather busy at the moment making the first one, so don’t bother us about the next one yet.

Depends on if we like your product. If we do, then you’ll likely have to beg us not to.

Bait Shop is headed by Ian David Hawkes but consists of a coalition of filmmakers from Portland Maine to Olympia Washington.
