Where does our name come from?

A friend of ours, Travis Currin, out of North Carolina left a comment asking us about the origins of our name. People often assume, for obvious reasons, that eleven72 must be a chapter and verse out of the Bible. The problem is that not many books have 72 verses. The only one I am familiar with is Psalm 119. So... Our name isn't out of the Bible. The name has really simple origins really. Nothing too clever. Lee and I were both born in November of 1972. 11/72. We threw around a lot of names early on, but ultimately we settled on something simple that has to do with who we are and where we come from. We had to put something on the application we sent in to start the company, right? And so, eleven72.

Really the name fits us well, because the company is just the two of us and our lives have a lot of similarities. Both born in November of 72. Both married. Both have two kids born relatively close together. Both of our firstborns are girls. And both of our youngest are boys. Both of us have a passion for filmmaking and storytelling. And on it goes.
