TIME RIVER PRODUCTIONS (TRP) was created informally in 1973 in Arizona during the making of the short film "TIME RIVER" at Southwestern Studios in Carefree, Arizona. The experimental dramatic film was written, directed, and co-produced by the owner of Time River Productions, Kevin Cloud Brechner. Time River Productions was formed as a business in the State of California in 1976 for the purpose of engaging in motion picture and television production and scientific investigations. TIME RIVER LABORATORY was formed at the same time as a division of Time River Productions.
From 1975 through 1985 Time River Productions was located in the infamous art colony, the Hotel Carver, 107 South Fairoaks Avenue in the historic Oldtown district of Pasadena. Following the 1985 eviction of all the studios in the Hotel Carver, TRP moved to 253 S. Rosemead Boulevard Pasadena for 14 years, and then in 1999 to its current studio location in East Pasadena.
Kevin Cloud Brechner has over 2500 production credits, mostly as a director, writer, and/or producer of video and film projects.
