Founded in 2003 by long time friends James Franco and Vince Jolivette, Rabbit Bandini Productions has established a successful track record of making films that have performed financially, creatively and commercially both within the independent filmmaking community as well as in conjunction with major studios and foreign sales corporations.

The company's projects have premiered internationally in the most prestigious film festivals, including Cannes, Sundance and Berlin, earning critical acclaim and accolades in each.

Standouts in 2010 thus far include the coveted Sundance opening night premiere of HOWL, a biography of iconic beat poet Alan Ginsberg, and the Teddy award winning THE FEAST OF STEPHEN in Berlin. With strong literary roots and a great appreciation for both innovative and classic novels, Rabbit Bandini is always seeking books for adaptation.
Notable acquisitions include Stephen Elliot's THE ADDERAL DIARIES, and William Faulkner's AS I LAY DYING.

In the fall of 2010, Rabbit Bandini will begin production on two movies, THE BROKEN TOWER, a biopic on iconic poet Hart Crane, and MALADIES, a quirky drama starring Franco, Catherine Keener and Clare Danes. Also in the works with Infinity Entertainment is a biopic of beloved American playwright Tennessee Williams. Both are slated for release late next year.

In February of 2011, SATURDAY NIGHT, an in depth, behind the scenes documentary about SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE will be released in theaters.
