Current production
IndieVest Pictures, a subsidiary of IndieVest, started production in August 2008 on their first film, St. John of Las Vegas.
The film is a quirky buddy comedy featuring Steve Buscemi, Romany Malco, Sarah Silverman, and Tim Blake Nelson. Filming took place in New Mexico and Las Vegas. The film was released in January, 2010. The film received $21,666 in its opening weekend at #50 and reportedly the domestic box office receipts totaled just over $100,000. The film has mostly received mostly negative reviews, with a 17% rating with 6 "fresh" ratings and 30 "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes. Chris Nashaway of Entertainment Weekly called the film "Excruciatingly awful" and "a shaggy road movie to nowhere".
In July 2010, IndieVest started filming a second movie, Knights of Badassdom, an American comedy horror film, directed by Joe Lynch, written by Kevin Dreyfuss and Matt Wall. On March 4, 2013 updates reported that the film was screened March 5, 2013 to potential buyers in Los Angeles. On July 23, 2013, FINRA settled a regulatory complaint against Wade Bradley with Mr. Bradley neither admitting nor denying the findings and providing a statement of mitigating circumstances. The penalty was a thirty-day suspension from the firm he no longer worked for and $7,500 fine (only payable if he re-registers with a FINRA firm).
On July 25, 2013, it was announced that Entertainment One had bought the North American distribution rights to the film with Wade Bradley negotiating the deal for IndieVest Pictures.
