About Us
In the 1980s my grandfather, A.J. Casteel, formed a gospel music group called The Switchmen. All six of its members worked for the Clinchfield Railroad in Kingsport, Tennessee. I remember as a young boy traveling with them to churches throughout the region. I got to ride in the big van while they rehearsed during the drive, banjos and all. My grandfather was my hero. He taught me to throw a baseball and coached my Little League teams. And he worked on a train, which I thought was super cool.
A "switchman" refers to a railroad worker whose job is to operate railway switches that moved trains from one track to another. In the old days, it was one of the most dangerous railroad jobs in the industry.
As filmmakers, we are story shapers. We can take viewers down a track, and at any moment, switch that track with a plot twist, new character, or a simple emotion. That's what motion pictures do for us. They make us feel.
I truly love creating movies and series that people enjoy. Welcome to Switchmen Studios.
