About Intrigue Films

Johnny Meier and David Aaron Stone, the founders of Intrigue Films, have worked on and/or produced over 10 independent film projects. Most recently David and Johnny have completed their self funded Premier Feature Film “They Know.” Through the self funding of Intrigue’s latest feature film and the experience of working and co-producing other projects, David and Johnny have gained a vast array of production knowledge including film financing, media distribution, and project planning. Furthermore, thanks to David and Johnny’s 'get it done' mentalities, the pair have developed the capabilities to walk a feature film project from concept to completion. On their last feature film, David and Johnny were able to produce, write, star in, and almost entirely self finance a full length super 16mm horror film for $300,000. This came on the eve of finishing their first “no budget” student film called “The Layover” and merely working as producers and actors on other smaller budget film projects.
