About Us
Cotton Bush Productions
Cotton Bush Productions was launched in 2016 by producer Kathy-Ann Thomas who's mission is to seek out and develop emerging talent and create unique projects with filmmakers who have distinct voices that may ultimately add to the ever-broadening landscape of cinema today.
It's hope for its first production, SNOW, is for it to become a catalyst for support in producing works of quality that draw on new creative voices and exciting stories that are waiting to be told.
