A quote on the Enigma Factoryâ€™s Website reads: â€œArt is an expression of life and transcends both time and space. We must employ our own souls through art to give a new form and a new meaning to nature or the world.â€ These words (incidentally belonging to the late, great Bruce Lee) epitomize the mission of the Florida-based production company, as it seeks to assist moviemakers in realizing their cinematic vision. â€œI want this company to make films the other people are afraid to make. Stories that touch me,â€ says Enigma Factory founder Alex Ferrari, â€œwhether that be a crazy sci-fi action [film] or a socially-conscious documentary.â€

Originally founded as a post-production company by writer-director-editor Ferrari, The Enigma Factory has grown over the years to provide editing, production and music and sound design services for independent moviemakers with an exciting and original story to tell. Most recently, the company has produced the low-budget horror flick, Broken, which was praised by Roger Ebert as â€œa demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques.â€ As the Enigma Factory continues to branch out into visual effects and other areas of moviemaking, one thing remains consistent: The companyâ€™s dedication to serving moviemakers who are, as Ferrari describes, â€œunafraid to show the world who they are through their art.â€

Sound Off: The Enigma Factory is dedicated to helping moviemakers express their artistic vision through film. Do you think smaller, independent production companies are better at serving the moviemaker than a major studio, or does it make no difference? Talk back in the comments section!
