"The production insurance and payroll service that Split Pillow provided for The First Breath of Tengan Rei were a great benefit to the film, allowing us to get more out of our limited resources, and lifting some of the administrative burdens from our production staff. I've been tracking Split Pillow's growth and evolution since the beginning of the organization. I believe in its mission and its spirit of community and experimentation, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to collaborate with Split Pillow."
- Ed M. Koziarski, Director, The First Breath of Tengan Rei |

"Split Pillow, Last Stop Productions' insurance and payroll partner, is instrumental to the preservation of good vendor relations, including communication with the Chicago and the Illinois Film Offices. An important member of the Chicago film industry, Split Pillow greatly simplifies the independent film production process. Without Split Pillow's support, being an independent filmmaker is nearly impossible."
- Yuko Kajino, Producer, Last Stop |

"Split Pillow was a huge help in the production of Let Old Ghosts Rest. The production insurance provided saved us hundreds of dollars which we were able to reroute into the production of the film. Whenever we had an issue or question, Dennis was there for us. You guys are truly the filmmaker's friend. Many thanks."
- Gregory Brian Cooke Director/Co-Writer, Let Old Ghosts Rest |
