River House Project provides filmmakers and other creative professionals the unique opportunity to stretch their legs and work in an environment unlike the traditional editing suite or office space. When River House Project Co-Founders Tony Stone and Melissa Auf Der Maur spearheaded the restoration process, they envisioned a one-of-a-kind, collaborative work environment. Working out of a building filled with other likeminded professionals creates an inspiring atmosphere of productivity and allows teams to strengthen their professional network. As more productions choose to call River House home, the creative industry, both local and global, has a chance to shift in new ways.
Stone and Auf der Maur are in a unique position to be an active part of the many cultural and economic shifts taking place in Hudson. Auf der Maur and Stone have already created an important cultural destination in Hudson, Basilica Hudson, a multidisciplinary arts center supporting the creation, production and presentation of innovative and independent arts and culture while fostering sustainable community. Founded in 2010, Basilica Hudson makes its home in a spectacular solar-powered reclaimed 1880s industrial factory on the waterfront of the historic city of Hudson.
