Standing Point Films

Background

Founded in the summer 2004, Standing Point Films began by building on the success of "Whatever You Destroy," a short documentary film about gentrification and working class artists in the city of Ann Arbor shot while Yoni Goldstein and Max Sussman were students at the University of Michigan. Soon after graduating, Yoni Goldstein formed the company as a vehicle for Michigan based independent film productions, focusing on nonprofit and socially critical projects. Although working within the avant garde and experimental film/video art tradition, the impulse was to articulate politically charged narratives in creative and approachable formats.

Since its inception, Standing Point has had a hand in mostly documentary projects, though short fictional films, music videos, and more abstract pieces are being produced.
