Dagtype Films, LLC, is an independent production company based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Its founding partners, Steven P. Neilson and Jon Lance Bacon, find their inspiration in the New Hollywood of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the Golden Age of the studio system.

Making Progress

We're well into the editing process on our romantic comedy, Oh Crappy Day, with a rough cut that looks terrific. Over the next few weeks, we'll be working with our editor, Peyton Lea, to fine-tune both the romance and the comedy of a blind date gone wrong. Then it's on to sound mixing, in the capable hands of our sound technician, Rich Walters.
Jess Barbour and Jordan Estes play the leads in Oh Crappy Day. Their talent, enthusiasm, and professionalism are off the charts!
