Vanguard Films & Animation

3D Animated and Live-Action Feature film development and production. The Vanguard Story Vanguard Films has an impressive resume producing both original live action and animated films and television. John Williams established Vanguard in the 1980’s as a New York based production company in films, television, commercials and music videos. In the early 90’s Vanguard moved to Los Angeles and was the first independent production company to sign a deal with Dreamworks SKG. That production deal and relationship lasted over a decade. Shrek and its 3 sequels and Jackie Chan’s The Tuxedo were some of the products of that relationship. Our Philosophy “Create great stories (and intellectual property), that will appeal to international audiences”. We only work with top tier actors, writers and directors and always secure input and partnership with top tier distributors at the earliest possible time. A small sampling of those names include Fox, DreamWorks, Universal, Cameron Diaz, Demi Lovato, Brad Pitt, Chris Farley, Jackie Chan, John Steinbeck, Virgin, and Disney.
