Iaboi Pictures

Iaboi Pictures (Eye-uh-Boy) - Independent Film Production company Iaboi Pictures was founded in 2005 by Director and Cinematographer, Christopher Hurst.

Iaboi Pictures provides audiences with new films covering a multitude of genres, original scripts, basic videography services, and commercials. Iaboi Pictures proudly supports community outreach programs in the Alabama, Jefferson County area by providing select programs with free video and commercial services. IABOI Pictures’ extensive team of actors, technical crews, stunt performers and other en

tertainment industry professionals provide their talents to IABOI Pictures on a primarily voluntary basis. In volunteering their services to IABOI Pictures, these professionals gain public recognition, industry experience, networking, screen credit and valuable portfolio material. Our *volunteers also get to use their talents in giving back to their communities knowing that they have made a difference in the lives of those in need. Christopher Hurst, social philanthropist, military veteran and martial artist, has been creating scripts and films since 1997. His love of films began when he was a child, as an audience member, formulating his own ideas of how he would have directed or shot the movies he had seen. Christopher began studying martial arts at the age of 10 and for 10 years focused on Shaolin Kung Fu. While in the Army, he expanded his martial arts knowledge to the Indian martial art of Mui Tai and the Brazilian martial art of Capoeria. Christopher’s purpose as a filmmaker has always been to involve the audience in the act of deeper thought. Whether the genre is comedy, horror or action, the use of film entertainment to provide the audience with life lessons, has been Chris’s, through Iaboi Pictures, objective. In essence, the filmmaker’s Aesop, Christopher credits the philosophical writings of Bruce Lee, the fluid and gritty cinematography of Robert Rodriguez, the inner confidence and outward film expression of Quentin Tarantino, and Ridley Scott and his uncontained imagination. The list of personal influences is extensive and growing on a daily basis. As through his films, Chris finds wisdom and information all around him and is forever seeking to learn.

Hello everyone! I know it has been a very very long time since my last post. This last year has been very interesting. We have been quiet but definitely not inactive. The teen filmmakers tutoring courses have been going great! Looking forward to seeing great things from these young minds. We have also had a nice handful of solo projects. Be on the lookout for new projects in the coming year.
