Carey-it-Off Productions, aptly named for Kathi Carey, is an independent production company producing quality entertainment. We believe there is a difference between a 'movie' and a 'film.' A movie is something, historically, you paid $10 to watch in a theatre on a Saturday night, eat a little popcorn, have a little fun, maybe laugh a little, and then go home and forget all about it. A film is something you paid $10 to watch in a theatre on a Saturday night, eat a little popcorn, have a little fun, maybe laugh a little. But the difference is this: in the process of watching that 'film' it makes you think about things -- opens your eyes to something you never knew...helps you see the world in a whole new light...hopefully changes your life. We strive to make films -- projects that stay with you long after the lights come back on.

One in Nine
Three stories. Three people. Three words that change each of their lives: "You have cancer." While these three never meet, their stories are connected by the rich and interesting supporting characters who touch their lives and interact with each other, proving that although people often feel isolated and alone when tragedy strikes, in truth they share experiences and a community of people who care.

Dark Night on Route 66
It's a night none of them will forget...if they make it out alive. Described as a Hitchcockian thriller with an O'Henry ending, Dark Night on Route 66 is a paranoid mash-up of The Strangers and Final Destination.

DeadDrop
Dead Drop: Life or Death in a Single Drop
Sean Burke, deep cover MI-6, has cunningly maneuvered himself to be in front of FBI agents Richardson and Kole. He weaves a story of international intrigue, which follows a toxic liquid secured in Korea, 'tested' on a small African village and bound for sale and distribution in L.A. Sean, on a quest to discover the identity of the terrorist mastermind who is about to unleash the poison on L.A., zeroes in on an unlikely suspect: a high-level FBI agent.

When the government 'temporarily' shuts down the Internet for national security reasons, "Weird Nathan," who's best friend is an old-school computer with a dial-up modem, and a few old men with CB radios and their own old-school tech, are the only ones who can still communicate on-line and see behind the firewalls. It's up to this 16-year-old and a couple of bona fide conspiracy 'nuts' to get the word out: the government has shut the Internet down...forever.

And the Winner Is
Lisa signs on an indie film as a PA hoping to shadow its famous director. Instead she's assigned to babysit the film's aged 'celebrity.' This once-acclaimed Academy-award-nominee, who now has trouble remembering her own name, has much to teach Lisa about life, craft and the need to hold onto one's dignity in the fact of Father Time.
