Chickflicks was established by two accomplished film industry producers: Sara Risher, former President of Production, New Line Cinema, one of the most successful independent film studios of all time, and Stephanie Austin, veteran producer of numerous critical and box office hits.
Between them, Austin and Risher have developed, produced and/or supervised dozens of feature films of all budget sizes, consistently representing top quality production and commercial success.
They have joined forces to develop and produce a portfolio of up to 10 moderately-budgeted feature films produced over a period of five years.
Chickflicks films will be uniquely targeted at the large, influential, yet under-served female market.
Current projects include:
HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS - Original screenplay by Colin McCormick. A satirical teen comedy that takes a hysterical look at the cliche of the perfect high school couple as they fall in love their freshman year, then slowly turn against each other to take down the entire school in their senior year.
