Edge In Motion was founded in the summer of 2011 by Lindsay-Elizabeth Hand and Jean-Louis Fragnay. Their talented team ranges from Producers, Directors, Writers, Designers, and Actors who all have one goal in mind: to seek out interesting, provocative new works, and produce them with a contemporary edge. ? ?The work they are most proud of to date was producing a brand new play titled 'The Meeting with Stanley,' written by playwright Llyod Pace, at Urban Stages for a 15 performance run. After TMWS closed in early 2012, Lindsay decided to focus more of the company's resources on Film and Television Production, and began to build strong relationships with other Production Companies here in NYC. EIM is currently taking script submissions and pitch ideas for their 2016-2017 Production Season. If you are interested in having your project produced, please email edgeinmotion@gmail.com, and write in the Subject Line - 'NEW SUBMISSION: Title of Project.'
