About

The studio, the people, and the small town where the work gets made.

Who we are →
The Studio

Two people, one address, a lot of work.

Suzanne Birrell writes screenplays from a multi-ethnic small town perspective where the women are strong. She has enjoyed significant success in screenplay contests. She teaches middle school, plays bass in a country band, and generally observes life as inspiration for her stories.

Chuck Jones has spent sixty-two years behind a camera. He is an expert platinum palladium printer. He has documented vanishing cultures across San Miguel de Allende, New Mexico, and the American West. He also invented a few things along the way.

Together they run Birrell Jones Productions out of Chimayo, New Mexico.
