About Us

Cadillac Films LLC was founded in 2004 by then-novelist Brad Saville as a vehicle to combine his life-long dreams of making motion pictures and running a small business.

In 2005, after a short-stint in the casting department at Warner Brothers, Brad found investment capital sufficient to make his first-feature, Williamsburg. Working with a mere $20,000, Brad used long-takes and “plenty of sharp dialogue to spare” (Syracuse New Times) to milk the most out of every frame, resulting in a successful film festival showing and a “monumental achievement.” (Film Threat) After several shoddy distribution offers, Cadillac Films opted to self-distribute the picture, releasing Williamsburg on Collector’s Edition DVD in November 2008.

In 2009, Cadillac Films has been focused on expanding it’s repertoire to focus on making affordable music videos for up-and-coming NYC bands and performers as well as web-commercials for small businesses.

We are also in the early stages of pre-production for Brad Saville’s new feature, Regretting Fish. Principle Photography will begin in late-May 2010.

A riff on Richard Linklater’s Slacker, Williamsburg basically unfolds as a series of static shots following various despondent personalities, each of whom claims to be an artist but fails to produce any actual art.

    Syracuse New Times review of Williamsburg: “Plenty of sharp dialogue to spare… Hilarious.”

    April 28, 2007

    Syracuse New Times review of Williamsburg: “Plenty of sharp dialogue to spare… Hilarious.”

    “The chronology hops all over the map in this Brooklyn-based indie comedy, which somehow links the travails of insufferable writer Truman (Penny Bittone) with a chain-smoking sidewalk painter named Brother James (Russ Russo), music-video director Will (David Marcus), budding filmmaker and part-time mugger Miguel (Evertz I. Saenz-Perez), his sister Anna (Anna Lamadrid) and sultry Slovakian [...]

    Aspiring cinematographers would do well to seek out a small indie feature called “Williamsburg” to study and gain inspiration from what cinematographer Will Sargent and director Brad Saville achieved from behind the camera. Shot in black-and-white, “Williamsburg” has a striking visual style that is uncommon in today’s independent [...]
