Uncanny Entertainment is a multi-faceted creative company based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Formed by Phillip Hughes and Jennifer Daugherty in 2005, UE focuses on film production, photography, and graphic design. This site will also be a portal to the artists that we enjoy working with, such as all of our actors, crew, Third Star Films, and Very Exciting Productions.
