Cowboy-Up Productions

Welcome to Cowboy-Up Productions (aka CUP), an independent film production company located in Memphis, TN. The company was started in 2005 as a collaborative effort between Arnold Edwards II, Derrick Bruner, and Jarrod Wilson. Each of them had been involved in the local independent film community, working on various projects. Their passion for excellence in film encouraged them to start their own company. Today, the CUP crew includes over ten hard-working individuals, with different backgrounds and talents, dedicated to producing the best quality independent films possible. Check out our Bios section to meet the team.

What does Cowboy-Up mean, you may ask? Our definition means to gather yourself and take care of business no matter the odds. The term was used as motivation between the founding members while working on their first project together. It became our motto and philosophy in regards to how we do business, and we officially adopted it as our company name.

Cowboy-Up Productions has worked closely with other independent film companies in Memphis. See our Links section to see the full list of fellow filmmakers and associated groups we have working relationships with.

At Cowboy-Up Productions, we are always looking for opportunities to work with creative people, be it filmmakers, graphic artists, actors, or musicians.
