Our Story
Lemon Town Films was born from a spark of inspiration during Michael Fanter’s visit to Lemont, Illinois. He envisioned creating films that highlight the unique character of each town, featuring small businesses, local history, and the community spirit. Captivated by the town’s charm, history, and vibrant community, he saw an opportunity to showcase the essence of places rich with character and untold stories. As he brainstormed a name that captured this vision, he took “Lemon” and “T” from Lemont, and Lemon Town Films was born—a name that embodies both a sense of place and a fresh perspective on storytelling. Our films bring these elements together, offering an entertaining and informative glimpse into the heart of each community.
WE TURN TOWNS INTO CINEMATIC LEGENDS.

At Lemon Town Films, we strive for excellence in every documentary we create—delivering high-quality, engaging films that capture the heart and soul of towns across America.

Our commitment to storytelling goes beyond the screen, energizing communities and bringing people together through a shared appreciation of their town’s unique story. With every film, we aim to not only preserve these stories but to elevate them, ensuring they are told with the highest level of artistry, passion, and impact.
