Welcome to Turnip

Based in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, Turnip has been producing short films with digital video technology since 2001 and a variety of commercial projects including training videos since 2005. This web site is organized so you can find out about what interests you. Turnip does Marketing video (and consulting) for start-ups, small business and non-profits. Turnip has also done websites and audition videos for actors. Turnip's short film productions have screened from Capetown to Carrboro.

Our most recent major film project (shot in 2009 with the working title, The Adventures of Roger and Tatum) has been completed. The film is released as Eight Lessons in Living Together. Please go to the www.eightlessons.com web site to view the teasers, read the blog (and buy the tee shirt).

The Film Work button will lead you to information about past, present and future indie film projects, with the some choices in the drop-down menu leading you directly to dedicated web sites for some of the completed films. We continue to be interested in the larger North Carolina Indie Film community and some of those links can be found under the Film Community menu above.

The Commercial Work button takes you to a description of a selection of the video work we've done for various clients and would be happy to do for you.

Of course the News button is just that; current happenings in our world.

Filmmaking remains a cooperative venture, working with an evolving group of local filmmakers, writers and talented folks who love to help make films. Led by Jim McQuaid, and supported by Partners like writer/director/actor Darrell Parker, this is how most of Turnip’s films have gotten made. If you need help with your project, contact us. If you want to help with one of our projects, contact us. If you want to do lunch and talk about a project, film in the Triangle, life, film and the Internet, etc., contact us and consider joining the "Triangle Filmmakers special interest group," a mailing list and occasional meeting of dedicated local indie filmmakers.

The best way to reach us is to email, see the info on the Contact page.
