Get out your calendars or go buy one so you can write down this date: May 27, 2010. That is when our second feature film “Simmons on Vinyl” will play in Austin, Texas. It starts at 7:30pm at the Alamo Lake Creek It’s. free for Austin Film Festival members and $4 general public.
Also, there will be about 30 minutes of specially programmed content by us. Some of it will be old, some of it will be new, and some of it will be sexy.
It’s been a while, but we are back with the exciting first glimpse at our new feature film, S&M Lawn Care.
The film is currently in post-production right now, being edited by Don Swaynos. We are hoping to have it done this spring and playing at festivals around the world by the end of the year. That’s right: we’re taking over the world. Bad news: the world only has until 2012. That’s just enough time to get to know some rich Russians!
The Austin Film Festival went incredibly well. We had two sold out screenings. We had to turn away around 200 people for the first screening. We felt so honored to be at the festival and we truly appreciated the opportunity to screen “Simmons on Vinyl” there.
We received some amazing reviews from critics who saw the film during the festival.
Thanks again for everyone who came out to the screenings and most importantly, to those who helped us get this film made. We are truly in debt (financially and metaphorically) to our friends and family and someday, if a movie studio decides to be awesome and give us money, we might be able to pay back the financial part of that debt.
We found out that not one, not two, but THREE things we have produced will be at this year’s Austin Film Festival.
First, our screenplay A Splice of Life is a semifinalist in the screenwriting competition. Over 4000 screenplays were submitted and ours is in the top 13 comedy screenplays. We were seriously surprised when we found out. We never thought we’d be a semifinalist, let alone get far at all. We’ll find out in the coming weeks if we are finalists, so stay tuned.
Second, our second feature film, Simmons on Vinyl will be premiering at the festival.
And third, our newest short film, Edgar Freezes, will be playing in the Shorts 1 category, which is known for its odd, offbeat and completely ridiculous shorts.
More information to come!
Meanwhile, here is a photo of me at IHOP listening to the new Mika song “We Are Golden.”
I would be happy without this song playing, but with it playing, I am ecstatic. This song is snappy and peppy!
Our second feature film, “Simmons on Vinyl,” will be premiering at the 2009 Austin Film Festival!
It’s true. Even The Hollywood Reporter is saying it. That’s legit right there!
I’ll have a trailer up soon and whenever I get screening information, I’ll post it as well.
The moment you all have been waiting for is here. No need to keep chewing on those fingernails! Stop sweating with anticipation! No longer do you have to stay up all night refreshing the Internets! You can now own The Stanton Family Grave Robbery on DVD.
Made in 2006, “For the Love of Family” showed at the 2007 deadCENTER Film Festival and the 2007 Austin Film Festival. It won a Special Jury Prize at the Austin Festival that year and had a great reception.
I hope you enjoy this short. It is on IMDB, so if you want, please rank it after you watch. But, if you are going to rank it low, then you don’t have to. In fact, I suggest you just move along and not rank it because low rankings make me sad.
All right, I am not happy about it, but I think it is the best thing to do. Our first feature film and what some would say is “the best independent feature film I’ve ever seen,”* The Stanton Family Grave Robbery was supposed to be released on DVD tomorrow through IndieFlix. But it won’t be. But the good thing about it is that it will now come with some awesome cover art. Hooray, cover art!
Here’s what it will look like:
I’ll keep everyone up-to-date on when the new release date is. I have been told it will probably be two weeks.
*My grandmother. And I’m pretty sure this is the only independent feature she’s ever seen. If not, then she’s a liar.
Holy crap, you guys and gals, we have a newsletter. That’s like, friggin’ legit, right? Doesn’t that mean we are legit now? No? I didn’t want your opinion, Dad! What? No, I’m not making money with this yet! Shut up, Dad! Dad! I don’t want to hear it again! I am trying! Lay off me!
Sorry about that. If you don’t mind, please sign up for our newsletter. There is a fancy link to the top right of this page. We promise, we won’t send out a bunch of messages. It’ll be monthly, most likely. But you never know. We could have a few drinks, throw caution to the wind, and send two out in a month. It can get crazy around here!
So, you had better do it. Someone is watching you…
