Austin Independent Filmmakers Embark on Caribbean Island Feature Film Adventure Wolfpack Film Group continues to make independent films in spite of economy and shrinking Texas Film Market. The prodigious filmmakers embark on a carribean adventure to film "Culebra Story," a contemporary drama with a supernatural flair.Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 15, 2008 -- Producer Robin Blesch and several Wolfpack Film Group crew members departed Friday October 10 for a remote island in the Caribbean to shoot the independent feature film "Culebra Story" for Blue Paper Film Works and WPFG Studios.
WPFG studios and the Wolfpack Film Group successfully wrapped principal photography on "Anything for Now," a SAG ultra low budget feature film shot in Austin, TX using an all Texas cast and crew with a micro-budget of under a million dollars. The film Produced by Robin Blesch wrapped two days ahead of schedule and a few thousand under budget, which is virtually unheard of! The film’s second press release web activity reached more than 25k in the first day.
Blade of the King was nominated for best action sequence at the Action on Film International Film Festival in Long Beach, CA. Blade of the King won second place in the trailer pilot category at the Indie Gathering Film Festival in Cleveland, OH.
Robin produced the "I Need Your Love" music video for From the Flames Productions and Leandro Fossi with the crew from The Wolfpack Film Group in the summer of 2006.
Special Thanks goes to ALL the members of The Wolfpack Film Group, Omega Broadcast, Ben White Florists, Austin Film Tools, Wild Imagination Films, and our wonderful actress, Andrea VanEpps!
This is a ROUGH cut of a film that I produced with Director
Will Gibson recently. Our The DP position was shared by two Wolfpack
members, Michael Morlan and Chad Brewer. Several other Wolfpack members
worked on the project, and a credit list will be available soon.

Robin Blesch's Companies
From the Flames Productions Austin, TX US Partner/Producer/Editor/Production Designer
Robin is a Senior at the top of her class
at the University of Texas at Austin. She is currently majoring in Anthropology/Archaeology.
She has always had a love for film and a love for history and culture,
which is what attracted her to her first film project, the "Blade of the King"
concept film. After producing that project, she was hooked on making films.
Robin is a Constant Multi-tasker with a strong eye for detail. She has the
ability to manage small or large groups, and has experience running film sets
with up to a 50-man crew. Her exceptional outside the box thinking, rapid
problem solving abilities, and great financial skills paired with her tactical
and strategic planning skills make her a valuable asset to any production.
Robin's drive for success and willingness to go the extra mile make her one of
From the Flames Productions' (FTFP) key
leaders, and one of the reasons she made partner after only her first year with
the company.
Since her first film was released at the end of 2005, she has been very busy.
Below you'll find information on the projects Robin's been working on:
