3,4 Women Productions 3,4 Women Productions is an LA-based production company that specializes in feature films and new media -- with a distinctly comedic voice. In other words, we're funny. Really, really, very funny. Really. Very.

Currently we're in pre-production for our first feature film, "Answer This!" - written by Christopher Farah and produced by Michael Farah and Anna Wenger, to be directed by Christopher and Michael Farah. Shooting begins August 5 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and we can't wait to get started.

In addition to producing our own original content, we also collaborate on outside projects and are available on a for-hire basis. A full-service company, we cover all elements of production, from preparing budgets, casting and securing locations, to editing, color correction and sound mixing in post, and everything in between. With over six years of experience, we have created works of comedic genius for such companies as Funny Or Die, 60Frames, SuperDeluxe and Upright Citizens Brigade.

Announcing A Big New Contest: Love Letters to Ann Arbor!

We are now accepting short films from University students, alumni, and Ann Arbor residents for our official “Love Letters to Ann Arbor” contest.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to know if music videos that are set/revolve around Ann Arbor are acceptable? The entire crew and artist are Ann Arborites haha.

    Thanks again for the opportunity, and can’t wait to see the film!

    Best,
    Sammy Grewal

    Absolutely, Sammy. I think the right music could actually make for a really powerful piece.

    Hi Chris. Ya, there’s 3 tabs near the top of the Facebook homepage, and one of them is “Answer This + Others” which includes posts from other people besides just Answer This! So my post only shows up when that tab or the “Just Others” tab is selected. I also just left it as a comment like you suggested on Answer This’s most recent post. Also, here’s a link right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZF7Q12AmPU

    There, that should do it! Thanks.

    First off: thanks so much for educating me on the wonders of Facebook – I’m a little slow with the, uh, technology. Second off: LOVE IT. very good stuff, love the editing and images. one thing to keep in mind: if we actually ended up using it or showing it, we’d need to get permission from RHCP for that song… which is very hard to get. (you might also have a better shot if you trimmed about a minute off the TRT.) i’ll be posting the link to the site myself so people can check out your work!
