Jack Saggins
Haunted ex-soldier, bound to Malrik, freeing the demon’s stolen souls and tallying each release on his forearm.
Independent film & television
Horror, comedy, late-night strangeness, and the beautiful trouble between them.
Original worlds built around haunted roads, midnight broadcasts, skeptical hosts, old debts, and the crews reckless enough to follow them.
The Slate
Seven worlds. Pick one.
A connected body of original film and television work, from backroad hauntings and midnight broadcasts to stop-motion mysteries and set-life comedy.
The Characters
Meet the troublemakers.
Jack Mercer
The midnight voice of AM 610, taking calls from just beyond the signal.
Janine Stiglitz
Bronx skeptic, reluctant paranormal host, and guitarist for Budgie’s Revenge.
Gordon
A perpetually terrified investigator who somehow keeps taking the case.
Trent
Thirteen, curious, and certain the perfect streets of Autumn Falls are hiding something.
The Company
Independent by design.
Small studio. Big worlds. No fear of the strange cut.
Dutchmiller Productions is an independent film and television studio founded by Richard Pagan. The slate crosses horror, comedy, supernatural thrillers, talk shows, and stop-motion, with character first and atmosphere close behind.
Every production begins with a human problem, then lets the uncanny lean in. The result is a studio identity built around haunted rooms, dry humor, late-night signals, and people who should probably know better.
