Eleventh Hour Productions was founded in 1998 by award-winning filmmaker and playwright Chuck Rose. We are dedicated to developing and producing innovative theatre and film that is both entertaining and thought provoking, and to foster the work of talented artists both in front of and behind the camera. We are proud that many of the actors that have appeared in our productions have gone on to successful careers in part due to the experience and exposure that we have been able to provide them.

Our first film production, the award-winning short, The Elevator, starring Greg Ellis (who went on to star as the sinister Michael Amador on the hit show 24), was honored as Best Short Film at the St. Louis Int’l Film Festival and Denver World Cinema Festival. It was also and official selection at the Toronto Short Film Festival, Ft. Lauderdale Film Festival, AFI, Sand Diego and Tahoe film festivals. It was subsequently acquired by IFILM and PBS.

Our first feature film, Come As You Are was recently honored by the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago as one of the year’s best new independent film comedies.  It has since been acquired by Starz Home Entertainment and is now available on DVD.

We just completed the film Side Effects, starring Arye Gross, in conjunction with Strike TV.  It has already been selected to premiere at the Breckenridge Film Festival in June, before launching on the new Strike TV site later this year.  For more information on Side Effects, [click here].

As part of our ongoing commitment to live theatre, we have produced original stage plays at some of Los Angeles most prestigious theatres including the Hudson Theatre, West Coast Ensemble, Stella Adler and Company of Angels.
