ABOUT US

Ad-Hoc Productions is an historical documentary production company based in Rochester New York.

Through an association of freelance artists, animators, musicians and film professionals, Ad-Hoc Productions strives to produce the very best in authentic and compelling documentaries of Western New York's past.

To this end Ad-Hoc Productions is proud to present, "Visions", a documentary film about these true stories of the supernatural.

But "Visions" is much more than a film about ghosts, conspiracy and the paranormal. "Visions" is also an exploration of a fascinating period in American history during the early to mid 1800's that witnessed religious, political and social activism unmatched for it's fervor and passion.

The events that bubbled out of this period included the anti-Masonic movement, the advent of the modern spiritualist movement, the women's rights movement, the anti-slavery movement as well the founding of seven new religions, sects and utopian communes.

In "Religion in America", Winthrop S. Hudson commented on these forces:
"The first half of the nineteenth century in the United States was a time of eager expectancy, unbridled enthusiasm and restless ferment.   A new nation and a new world was being born, and to many anything and everything were possible.   It was a period when a comet's tail was said to have swept America, and everyone went a little mad..."

Michael Keene, Producer
Ad-Hoc Productions
Michael Keene, writer, director and producer of "Visions", formed
Ad-Hoc Productions 3 years ago in order to combine his interests in history, research and films in order to explore local paranormal phenomena and the 'unexplained'.

With the use of hand drawn and digital illustrations, award winning animation, voice actors, live cinematography and original musical scores, Michael explores unique and fascinating chapters of 19th century Western New York that has delighted (and frightened) the public and critics alike.

What began as a hobby....has now become a grand obsession!
The result is "Visions"
