Cloverleaf Filmworks, LLC.

About Us

Cloverleaf Filmworks, LLC is a newly formed company, established in October 2004 by Donnie & Sharon Yorks. Their principal purpose and business is to create Christian-based theatrical motion pictures and television programs. The company plans to develop and produce quality family-themed films and programs, with their main focus being on the western genre.

"We believe the public is ready for films of this nature. Big budget Christian, and western-themed, films have opened the market over the past few years".

The objectives of Cloverleaf Filmworks, LLC are as follows:

To produce quality films and programs that glorify God and provide positive family entertainment with morals that will win souls to Christ and change lives.

To make films and programs that will celebrate the interest and importance of our western heritage.

To produce feature films and television programs with budgets ranging from $500,000 to $3 million.

To explore overseas co-production and co-financing potential for the company.

To distribute our films through independent distribution companies.

There is a need and a hunger for more family films. We believe that we can make exciting films and programs starting as low as $500,000 without sacrificing quality. In view of the growth of the Christian and family market, there has been a general worldwide emphasis on returning to traditional family values. For this reason, Christian films with sophisticated and modern stories have been making a comeback and appeal to audiences of all ages.
