Begin with someone.
A frustrated husband. A soldier facing a prisoner. A life unsettled by dreams. The person gives the story its reason to matter.

OUR IDENTITY
ONE CREATIVE HOME.
MANY STORIES.
Tallamountoo brings the work together.
Founded by Jacksonville filmmaker Charlie Franklin, Tallamountoo Studios is the creative home for Freedom St., What We Owe, Insomnia, and the projects still taking shape.
The films move between genres, but share an interest in people facing difficult choices, the connections that define them, and the consequences that follow.

A NAME. AN IDEA. A FILM STUDIO.
THE DREAM
CAME FIRST.
Before the films, there was Tallamountoo.
Charlie Franklin had always wanted a film studio of his own—and he already knew what it would be called: Tallamountoo Studios. In 2017, he established Tallamountoo Studios as the name for the film studio he dreamed of building.
That early idea is the foundation of the studio today: a creative home where Charlie’s stories can take shape, from the first script to the finished film.
With Freedom St., What We Owe, Insomnia, and more on the way, Tallamountoo continues to grow into the studio he imagined.
THE WAY INTO A STORYTHE TALLAMOUNTOO POINT OF VIEW
Make the choice count.
What happens when someone gets exactly what they wanted? What does duty demand? The films follow decisions into the lives they change.
Leave something behind.
A recurring image, an uncomfortable question, a familiar place that feels different. Stories that stay with you after the last scene.
