Since then, Lost Falls, through its By The Brooks Motion Pictures label, has produced more than 10 short films and has twice garnered the coveted "Slammy" from the Spokane-area 50-Hour Slam competition.
Their production "Lavender Space," spoofing Taylor Swift's Lavender Haze, has won laurels from 8 film festivals including the Washington Film Awards. Lost Falls has recently filmed two projects in rural Idaho and has more planned in NE Washington in 2026.
