Any story worth telling has a beginning, middle, and an end.

Founded in 2008 by Los Angeles natives Mike Manning, Wesley Barker and Dane Naimy, BME Films strives to create exciting and artistic projects across film, television and digital platforms. With a focus on genre storytelling, we want to challenge our audience with thought-provoking ideas and themes that are packaged in the familiar molds and time-tested techniques that made us fall in love with filmmaking.

Thanks to these incredible musicians for each licensing a song to our little movie #ToxicShort!
It’s been a bleak year, but each of these artists released new music in 2020 and helped to make it just a little bit brighter. Please check them out on whatever platform you get your tunes!
