New Dawn Productions LLC (Arizona)

Welcome to New Dawn Productions, an independent film production company based in Phoenix, Arizona, led by Director/Producer Dave A. Margulis.

We specialize in building cinematic time capsules. Our mission is to rescue and preserve authentic lived experiences, untold local history, and compelling human narratives before they are paved over and lost to time.

🎬 CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION:
"The Lemonade Special of 1976"
A feature documentary exploring the explosive, chaotic growth of the Valley’s transit infrastructure in the 1970s. It’s the story of macroeconomic panic, a $22 million municipal bailout, and the desperate, bright yellow advertising campaign designed to convince a car-obsessed desert to ride the bus.

📼 ARCHIVAL CALL TO ACTION:
We are actively seeking primary accounts and 1970s Phoenix/Scottsdale archival footage. If you own local broadcast tapes, photographs, or family archives from 1974-1976, we want to hear from you.
