To Be Errant
"Errant Pictures" reflects a spirit of artistic independence and the pursuit of untrodden paths in filmmaking. The name evokes a sense of defying expectations—straying from conventional norms to explore untold stories and innovative visuals. As a company, Errant Pictures embraces bold experimentation, pushing the boundaries of creative expression. It's not just about following the well-worn routes of the industry but about venturing into uncharted territories, where unique, unconventional narratives can unfold on screen, much like a wandering Knight Errant reaching new heights, quenching strong ambitions and discovering distant horizons.
We Upgraded
Shawk' N Awe Productions has evolved into a new chapter, embracing a revitalized purpose as Errant Pictures. This reimagined business is dedicated to the art of storytelling, offering a dual focus: crafting compelling narratives for clients seeking impactful marketing solutions and producing original, narrative-driven films. Errant Pictures continues to champion creativity and innovation, bringing stories to life across a variety of mediums.
"I have always been inspired by the quote from J.R.R. Tolkien’s writing, ‘Not all who wander are lost.’ As a creative, I’ve often felt like a wanderer, finding my way through unconventional paths. It’s in these very paths—where others often urged me to turn back—that I’ve found my greatest successes. This journey has led me to become both a filmmaker and a business owner, and I continue to embrace expanding my abilities to their limits in my work."
