Guy in his Basement Productions is an independent media group committed to getting the freakin' movie done already.

The company, and, more importantly, the logo, were created in 2000 for its first release, the incredibly terrible Star Wars fan film Young Jedi: High School Student, which roped in thousands of viewers during its brief but glorious tenure on the Internet.

Our second major release was a short-feature-length teen comedy called The Cellar Dwellers. It premiered a mere year late.

Though the visionaries' lives drew them apart, the GIHB spirit remained, because it was a cool logo. Said logo kicked around on several other small projects, mostly for film classes and amusement of friends. The animated Star Wars (again) fan film Run Leia Run marked GIHB's first trip on the festival circuit.

Today GIHB films regularly turn up at major festivals across America and around the world and still manage to not cost all that much to make. We at GIHB sincerely believe that creative projects—like movies—can be, should be and often are made by ordinary people with ordinary resources, one might say, "just some guy in his basement".

It's true, you know.
