Since the production company opened in September, 2005, they have produced four films, are currently co-financing two films, and have many film and television projects in the wings. The first film the company produced was the "The Cake Eaters," which they will be self-distributing in early 2009. The film was directed by actress and first-time director, Mary Stuart Masterson and stars Bruce Dern, Elizabeth Ashley, and Kristen Stewart. The winner's logo image will be added to this film's opening credits upon release.


The company has also produced "American Teen," which is rumored to be the hit of summer 2008. The film was bought by Paramount Vantage at the Sundance Film Festival 2008 where director, Nanette Burstein won the award for Best Director for a Documentary. It is an uplifting and soberingly honest documentary which follows a group of high school seniors through their last year of school, chronicling all the ups and downs of kids on the brink of adulthood. They also produced, "August," which stars, Josh Harnett as the young dot com CEO whose star falls in the ominous August 2001. The film was bought by First Look Studios, Inc. and will premiere in New York this summer.


57th & Irving Productions also produced "I Bring What I Love," a documentary on the life of famed Senegalese singer, Youssou N'Dour. "Our film repertoire is growing at a swift pace" said 57th & Irving Productions President, Patrick Morris. "The photo competition is a unique opportunity for us to tap into the endless creativity of the internet public and a once-in-lifetime-chance for the competition's winner to have their image live forever on the big screen."
