E.T.C., E.T.C. Production Company

E.T.C., E.T.C. Production Company is a television and motion picture production company based in Burbank, CA, USA.

Launched in late 2009, E.T.C., E.T.C. is headed by producing husband and wife couple;
Allistair and Cynthia Wyndham.

Allistair Wyndham is a Oxford born writer and is the nephew of French Director / Producer (Claude Zidi) who is best known for having written and produced "True Lies" along with James Cameron in 1994. During Allistair's early life, he was passionate about the movie business and an entrepreneur, who eventually wound up in Hollywood writing screenplays. To date, Allistair has written screenplays which are all directed to children and families. Allistair is passionate about positive family pieces that will be a throw back for audiences, to a classic style of story telling coupled with the adventure, excitement, and the merchandising potential of films of the eighties.

Allistair is already compared by industry professionals as a new Steven Spielberg / Tim Burton hybrid. Although he is not a director, yet. However, if his uncle is anything to go by, it will not be too long before Allistair dons the title of "Director".

His screenplays have been read by the likes of Richard Zanuck, a producing partner of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton.

Within the two years that Allistair has been living in Los Angeles, he has been mentored and helped along his journey by; Brenda Hampton (Producer: Secret life of an American Teenager)

Kenoff, talent agent Carlyne Grager (Dramatic Artists Agency) Richard Halsey (Academy Award Winning Editor: Rocky. Toy Story 2) as well as others.
