GLOAMING PICTURES is an independent production company formed by brothers Jim Isler and Tom Isler
that specializes in documentary film and television. |
We founded Gloaming Pictures in 2000. Our first feature-length documentary, FESTIVAL, about the 2004 Maine State Drama Festival, an annual competition for high school theater companies, premiered at the Maine International Film Festival in Waterville, Maine, in 2005.

Our next project, “CRITICAL HOURS,” a pilot for a television series about unusual and inspiring educational programs for kids, premiered at the New York Television Festival in 2006 and was one of three finalists for the MSN Artistic Achievement Award. The pilot was nominated for a 2007 Best Award by the KIDS FIRST! Film and Video Festival in the category of Best Documentary, ages eight to 12.
We also have created behind-the-scenes featurettes about various artistic productions, including a film written by John Buffalo Mailer and a ground-breaking Internet sitcom.
We are based in New York City and continue to develop and produce documentary projects.
