Mr. Edwards has been actively involved in the film and television/video industry since 1985. While at Fox Studios in 1989, Edwards created his own production company, Premier Attractions, Inc.

Our mission is to produce innovative and unique projects, and to acquire existing product for Domestic and Foreign distribution to a worldwide audience. Edwards designed the company to provide full production services and financial strategies for independent projects, working extensively with writers, directors, producers and studio/company executives in creating, planning and selling their projects. He has produced in all mediums, including feature films, TV pilots, a TV magazine show, special programming, direct-to-video, an internet Web-show, and print publishing. Premier has also released feature films theatrically, nationwide, providing all areas of planning and execution of the elements of advertising and promotion campaigns for the project.

His film, A Lonely Place For Dying, was awarded the Heineken Film Award, at the 2010 Santa Fe Film Festival. Other Indy features include; Born To Ride (2011); Changing Hearts (2002); Running From the Shadows (2000), with other documentaries and direct-to-video titles.

From 1985-1990, the company represented the non-theatrical rights for over 4000 film titles through Films Inc. as West Coast Distributor. Premier was responsible for placement of films to non-theatrical venues throughout the Western United States, including College and University theaters, Military bases, in-flights rights, and other Private school venues. This background experience provides an incredible distribution outlet for continuing growth in independently produced product, extending across America.

As a Professor and instructor in Multi-media, producing and directing, Mr. Edwards enjoyed mentoring new film-makers while an Adjunct Professor at National University’s MFA program in Digital Cinema. He is a feature and commercial director and a Member of the Director’s Guild of America since 1998. He continues to consult and participate as a lecturer in seminars on film finance and distribution.
