Beard Production Studios

Beard Production Studios (also known as Beard Productions) was a studio founded by Jimbo the Cheese and El Gringo. The studio was used to produce the original cut of The Justice of Light and Darkness

The studio was disolved in late 2012, after a year of inactivity. Nova Productions - founded by El Gringo took on all of Beard Productions outstanding projects.

Founding
During production of JOLAD, it was decided by El Gringo and Jimbo the Cheese that the project should be handled by their own studio.

In JOLAD, Jimbo the Cheese's character, the Overseer, was supposed to sport a long, white beard. With Jimbo unable to grow a proper beard, and funding being very limited, Jimbo's cousin knitted from white wool a "beard" from him.

Owing to a combination the bright white material, the hooded cloak Jimbo wore while playing the character, and the glaring contrast of the white beard against Jimbo's natural brown hair, this beard was instantly the most notable thing about Jimbo, oft times the sole thing visible under the characters hood.

The comical apperance of Jimbo while wearing the beard was loved by the cast and crew, who took the beard as their symbol, and named their studio after it.

Although JOLAD was succesfully released, the troubled production of the film resulted in unease among Beard Production's founders. Shortly after JOLAD's release, several founders left the studio. As such, the studio was unable to ever release another project.

Although plans for a sequel for JOLAD were drafted under the Beard Productions studio, nothing became of it. The situation worsened for the studio when in 2011, a great deal of their footage and data was destroyed in the Hard Drive Data End disaster.

In 2012, Jimbo the Cheese with the backing of El Gringo - the two remaining founders with any investment in the studio announced that Beard Productions was no more.
