MOTION PICTURE COMPANY, INC., Ft. Pierce

In March 1985, The Motion Picture Company, Inc. became a vital conduit in the world of motion picture and television production. In the early years, the company focused mainly on producing film and TV projects in Hollywood, New York and Orlando . MPC based Headquarters on the Disney Studios Back lot at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. When camera support or production “tools” were needed to accomplish the highest level of creative filmmaking during the production growth in Florida, MPC stepped up to the “plate” and organized the largest equipment division in the Southeast supporting production companies on a rental bases with highly specialized motion picture gear and camera essentials. MPC had first priority over all the equipment with the Walt Disney Company, as its main client, followed by Universal Studios and Panavision Cameras. MPC warehoused over $12,000,000.00 of equipment including 10 Steadicams (Camera stabilizing apparatus), mobile camera cranes, jib arms with remote controlled camera heads, camera extension raisers, photo sensitive glass, stage camera cranes and other highly specialized gear found only in Hollywood, New York or London. The company rapidly grew servicing the main television networks and top 10 entertainment studios worldwide. MPC was the recognized specialist for 'moving the shot'. Ten years later, as the profile of support equipment changed with new manufacturers building equipment spin spin-offs widening the competitive landscape. MPC acted by understanding the trends and focusing on equipment sales and manufacturing camera extension arms, safety pedestals and other production support equipment including the first environmentally safe mobile camera truck crane. Meanwhile, the company was contracted to oversee the construction, management and staffing of several major sound stages. Also, MPCI production division has been developing programming content, producing episodic television for other production companies and called upon to consult major studios on development of motion picture productions in the Southeast region. In 1997 MPC was privileged to assist TV support for marketing and media relations departments, specifically working as Consulting Producers and Directors for Walt Disney World, Disney Pictures, ABC, Mc Donald's, General Motors, Disneyland Special Events and several TV stations around the globe. MPC aggressively purchased rights to several scripted motion picture and television projects and began focusing on projects the company had ownership and believed to be marketable to the TV and feature film markets. To facilitate the slate of motion pictures, television movies of the week, TV series, digital convergence and new media projects, MPC has evolved into a mini-studio. As a private "C" corporation, the company has the ability to move faster, be far more fiscally cautious, and able to cut through the fog of red tape or corporate waste commonly known in big studio bookkeeping. These highly entertaining and family valued scripts are currently in some production or a development stage. The master plan is to develop all the currently owned projects through 2015, distribute the films while growing our footprint as a mid-level studio. Begining in 2013, MPCI focused on developing a sound stage 'backlot' facility including a machine shop to produce our new product line of camera support equipment. Management is currently looking to develop the facility in the Florida area. The new camera support product line will be available to a globel market. The company has ownership in an exciting new web site supporting an industry social network. The site, www.MYTVLAND.com, is designed to TV and Film professionals displaying their demo's and information to self promote without being mixed up on other sites not as professional. MyTVLand.com is for the professional with a low cost participation fee. MPCI has partnered with other creative production companies, assisting with development tasks on projects. This reach out program, shares the vast production talent and resources MPCI has developed over years. MPCI can bring together a team of experienced filmmakers, specialty equipment and film business understanding. New productions MPCI creates are developed with the most current formats including HD-Cinema, 4K and Stereoscopic. The company has eliminated all tape and film formats, replacing it with the new File and Work Flow production transfer systems. These new formats and systems are the latest industry trends for syndication, network broadcasting and feature film theatrical markets. The Motion Picture Company, Inc. is honored with award winning excellence for efforts supporting the motion picture and television industry worldwide. The company stands firm for continued support with Family Entertainment and endorses "Good Valued" projects. The diversification of the company, keeps it in the main stream of changing technology and format trends. MPCI continues to achieve it goals as a versatile development, production and distribution knowledgeable production company. John C. Cummings Sr. continues as a leader in the film and television industry logging forty-one years of production experience. Since 1985, Mr. Cummings has privately owned and operated The Motion Picture Company, Inc. (MPC). Built from his own personal investment, the company quickly became the largest camera support organization in the southeast region, based at the Disney Studios in Orlando. Mr. Cummings, had financially partnered in a Satellite Broadcast Network (RCA Satcom 4 Transponder 21). Among other participants, Mr. Cummings was included in the first commercial DBS licensing application presented to the FCC in 1981, while managing a full scale production and post-production studio. In his career, Cummings is directly responsible for the design and construction of seven sound stages and production centers. Although, the current focus of the company is developing projects and consulting for other companies, MPCI continues to design innovative camera and production gear to create a safer environment on the set. Meeting the high standards and safety concerns of productions in Theme Parks, Mr. Cummings developed the criteria for on-location shooting with camera cranes and jibs arms in public or 'Guest' areas, thus reducing costly exposure of liability for production companies. These safety requirements published, Titled: "SOS" (Safety-On-Sets), was adopted by Disney and Universal Studios in 1991.
