About SFF

Sine Fine Films is an independent video production group founded and operated by Eleanore Stasheff. Other co-founding members are Annamarie MacLeod, Jen Weber, Tanino Minneci, Jacob MacLeod, and Jill Hutchison.

The company began in 1996 during the filming of its first video movie: Destiny. The movie (and thus the company) began life in a cornfield as a Choose Your Own Adventure-style game among the founding members, who were friends who met during theater productions and had formed a dancing troupe called the Gypsy Wanderers. 

To find out more about how it all began, check out this video from SFF’s Stick Figure Theater.

Sine Fine Films was originally called Starlight Productions, however the name was changed due to the fact that the name Starlight Productions is already trademarked by another group. So a new name had to be chosen. It went through several iterations, including Erion Entertainment and Traldon Productions, before arriving at Sine Fine Films. Sine Fine (pronounced sin finay) is Latin for Without End, referencing Eleanore’s tendency to do “just one more” episode or film, ever promising it is to be her last. Luckily, no one ever believes her.

In June of 2016, Sine Fine Films celebrated its 20^th year as a production company.

Today Sine Fine Films continues producing short films with over one hundred members and a collection of 12 video movies, 6 television mini-series, and 27 short films.
