About CVI Productions

Established in 2014, CVI Productions is a Christian based company which prides itself on creating family-friendly content that the entire family can enjoy together.

We are an independent film company residing in Citrus County, Florida, where most of the scenes in our films are shot.

CVI is proud and honored to say that our films, The Legend Of Kate Kensington and No Place In This World have been acknowledged and accepted by the Dove Foundation, and have received their seal of approval.

THE DOVE FOUNDATION
The Dove Foundation is an American non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, that issues film reviews, ratings and endorsements of movies that it considers suitable for family audiences, and that bases said reviews on Christian values.

Our stories and films are original work which have been written and directed by Brad Castillo.

“It has been our goal from the very beginning to produce content for families that carry a strong message of hope and faith”.
– Brad Castillo

CVI Productions is currently in pre-production with their third film, The Connection.

WHAT IS AN INDEPENDENT FILM?

An Independent film is a movie that is produced outside of the major film studio system. Typically viewed as a “low budget film”, the producer of such films has the freedom and artistic ability to capture a personal vision with fewer obstacles to overcome such as highly paid and demanding actors, impossible deadlines, and other Hollywood studio restrictions.

Over the years, the industry has blossomed into a major player of blockbuster filming.

Once the production is completed, the independent film is submitted to film festivals nationally and internationally for recognition. If purchased by the “right” company, the film can be marketed and distributed as a Blu-ray/DVD release or can be featured on digital streaming services and/or picked up by a major cable production company such as Lifetime Movies, Showtime, or HBO.
