Are they're any source of Living Films producing over Ms. Marvel or The Greatest Beer Run Ever? BMA-Nation2020 (talk) 01:13, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there: Here are a couple that might work for The Greatest Beer Run Ever.

Not done: Source says its the "local facilitator" for the film. Can you provide a source saying they produced, financed, etc.? Not sure what a "local facilitator" is or even if its worthy of inclusion. CNMall41 (talk) 19:27, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi again, apologies for the slow response. I wanted to see if I could find any more information and try to confirm some things with Living Films. It seems that there's currently a sort of "information release agreement" in place so the amount of current published information is scarce.
- But to answer your question, a "local facilitator" is a local production company that provides local services for a movie production (think local hires, getting the right permits, finding additional locations, catering, etc.).
- There is an article on ComingSoon.net that mentions Living Films but refers to it as "Chris Lowenstein production": https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1406974-fx-alien-series-update-production-resumes-in-early-2024
- There is also an article on SuperHeroHype.com that refers to it as "Chris Lowenstein serving as a producer": https://www.superherohype.com/tv/609296-alien-earth-poster-introduces-fx-show-xenomorph-hunters
- Mr. Lowenstein is the founder of Living Films and has no other connection to other companies, but I'm not sure if this is "strong" enough to be a source? I understand if it's not. I can share more information that will hopefully directly state the involvement of Living Films once the "information release agreement" has ended. Tetrameles (talk) 05:00, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
Edit requests - Alien: Earth and S.W.A.T.
| An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes. |
As you can see on the talk page, I've tried to request edits before but now more reputable sources have been published so I am making another request, along with another for a different show. If there are any adjustments needed in order to get this approved, please let me know. I apologize for any errors in advance; I'm still pretty new to this.
To note again, I am a paid contributor on behalf of Living Films. I have read through Wikipedia's guidelines and intend to keep to its policies, especially about not adding marketing-type content. Please see my user page for more details.
Since there are multiple edits, I'll repeat the template for each.
