Erik Anders Lang and Ryland Aldrich Form New Production Company Producing Original Content

Director and TV personality Erik Anders Lang and Producer Ryland Aldrich announced today their founding of Pictures, Pictures. a new production company to focus on feature films, long-form documentary series, short-form commercials, and branded content.

Based in Los Angeles, CA, Pictures, Pictures. is currently in production on Be The Ball, a documentary feature examining the link between golf and the mind featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Day, Deepak Chopra and others. In addition, Pictures, Pictures. is producing the original web series, "Adventures in Golf" currently airing on the PGA Tour's SkratchTV.

With this release also comes the announcement that pre-production stages of an Untitled Sia Documentary Project have begun, co-directed by Lang and his wife Sia. This project offers a never before seen look at the singer's life.

Pictures, Pictures. is operating with the guiding principle of making projects enjoyable to both watch and engage with in order to create an organic link between the content and their clients' goals. As Aldrich puts it, "Pictures, Pictures. presents an exciting bridge between our backgrounds in feature films and the growing space of branded content. We live in a time where a small company like ours can offer clients results more effectively and efficiently than old firms of the past."

According to Lang, "There's an art in filmmaking and an art in business. Our goal is to merge the two with the utmost integrity -- and have fun doing it."

Pictures, Pictures. is represented by CAA.
