Who We Are

As of right now, there are three of us. Rebekah, Jordan, and Ruth. We’re all homeschooled, which gives us many opportunites to learn and experiment with our films. We’ve made three big movies together so far, the most recent being iSundae II, the sequel to iSundae.

A Little About Us

Rebekah handles the props, costumes, make-up and directing, along with various acting roles.

Jordan has been making movies for at least five years, and can’t remember a time when he didn’t have an idea for a film. He has done video work for multiple organizations, including Simply Charlotte Mason. For now, his favorite movie-making tasks are directing, editing, special effects, and audio work. When not making movies, Jordan’s hobbies include reading, watching hockey, playing guitar, and dumping liberal amounts of hot sauce on almost everything.

Ruth does the strictly behind-the-camera work of filming, sound, and editing, as well as helping out with costumes and props in pre-production. She is much better at doing simply what she is told than having to initiate and direct, but organizing details in between stressful moments is not a problem.
She mostly knits, reads, and quilts in the “breather” months when movie-making doesn’t consume everything in sight.

Miscellaneous

Our siblings all act and generally assist whenever needed. To learn more about them, head over to Incredibooks, where we all do book reviews.

All of our movies are created on Apple Macintosh computers. We never even think about using PC hardware or software for such a noble task.

Why Phantom Moose Films?

Our name comes from an old (never filmed) script that we wrote. At one point there was a phantom moose guarding some treasure. We cut the moose, but we couldn’t get him out of our heads. So at the end of the production of iSundae, we wanted to start a Web site and needed a name. Somebody suggested “Phantom Moose” and it stuck.
