Tempe Entertainment
ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS

Founded in 1985, Tempe Entertainment is one of today's preeminent underground home video producers. Our credits include the international cult classics THE DEAD NEXT DOOR and OZONE and late '90s efforts such as the creature feature THE SANDMAN, the sci-fi actioner POLYMORPH and the stylish thriller BLOODLETTING.

In Y2K we celebrated 15 years of feature filmmaking, kicking things off with our first 35mm foray, WITCHOUSE 2: BLOOD COVEN, for Full Moon Pictures. That lead us to producing a series of new features for first-time directors, including GROOM LAKE, the latest sci-fi drama from director/co-star William Shatner and the Showtime documentary SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT.
