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 AFF 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’re 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’m not happy about it but I think it’s 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 suppose 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’ll look like:

I’ll keep everyone up-to-date when the new release date is. They said it’ll 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 better do it. Someone is watching you…

Hey gang, we’ve uploaded a new short film to the website for you to watch and enjoy. It’s called “Love Machine” and it’s a heart-warming story about love and destroying stuffed animals. Head over to the films link and please let us know what you think.

We’re working on getting “Hitboys II Men” up on the site too so keep checking back.

Meanwhile, here’s a photo of a pug eating some bread.

For the 2009 deadCENTER Film Festival, we were asked to produce the opening shorts that play before each screening. Here are all six episodes for you to watch. Let your emotions free. Laugh. Cry. Scream. Be scared. Be aroused. All at the same time.

Hard Justice – For Kids!

I hate myself for the title of this post.

We screened our film, “Hitboys II Men” tonight at the 2009 deadCENTER Film Festival. And it went great. Seriously, I couldn’t be more happy with how well it went. I was incredibly nervous about how the crowd would react and I feel truly honored and blessed to have screened in front of a great group of people. So if you’re reading this and you were there and you liked the film, thank you very much. If you were there and you didn’t like the film, well, you can go fly a kite. In hell.

That’s some sexy sweat.

The gang, schmoozing and promoting. I missed the “Black attire” memo I guess.

Brice played “Cookie Store Employee Acting Busy” in our film.

It’s okay to get aroused. No one can help it.

My shirt is amazing. I don’t like to brag. I really don’t. But that shirt? Pure America.

Thanks again for all your support! Please drop us a line.

For the fourth year in a row, we will have a film playing in Oklahoma’s largest film festival, the deadCENTER Film Festival. It’s a huge honor and we’re very happy about being part of the festival. It keeps getting bigger and better each year.

This year, we will be screening our short film “Hitboys to Men.” The film follows Xander, who has a stagnant life. All he does is play Xbox with his friend Howard, hang out with Stone, his workout-obsessed brother and upset his father. But when his Xbox breaks, he sees an opportunity to get money for another and please his father: follow in his footsteps and become a hit man.

You should make it to the screenings for many reasons. What are those reasons? Thanks for asking:

Oh yeah, cooke cake advertising!

Here is a snazzy demo reel we made for 2009. Music by our good friend and soon to be doctor Alan Hromas.

Hey, be a friend and let us know what you think.

For the 2009 deadCenter Film Festival in wonderful Oklahoma City, OK, Singletree Productions was asked to produce a series of introduction videos that would play during the festival before each film screening. Trying to do something unique, we made a short series that follows detectives Frank Hard and Dick Justice as they search for the deadCenter Film Festival.

There are a total of six episodes (one being specifically for children since they shouldn’t be viewing things like torture and swearing and vomiting and Brand looking scary). Here is episode one. If you want to see the rest, come to the 2009 deadCenter Film Festival June 10 – 14.

We gave the ol’ website a nice, new update and we’re ready to blog the crap out of this thing.

We’ve been pretty busy on a number of projects that I’ll be discussing more later. One of them is a new short, “The Bedazzler.” I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s probably the best thing you’ll ever see. Like, for example, when you’re on your death bed, making a list of your favorite things ever, this will be what it looks like.

So until then, here’s our newest video we made. Enjoy.
