"What Comes Around" Goes Live!

Hey All!
We've finally got our latest film uploaded on our podcast. Sheesh, there's several kinks to work out in our upload process. We're aware of the letterboxing issue, but at least it's not still being marked "explicit". Check it out by either going directly to our podcast page here or by checking it out in our new video player (yeah, the new ugly monstrosity blatantly ignoring the boundaries over in the sidebar). Anyone interested in building us a better site? Anyone?

48 Hr. Guerrilla Film Competition

Well, hello again to everyone!
We're back after a ridiculously long length of time that I can neither refer to as a vacation or a hiatus. Just know that after 10 long months we're finally back and we'll have a brand new, state-of-the-art short film for your viewing enjoyment this week!
Last weekend we entered the 48 Hr. GFC in Sarasota and, man, what a fantastic time it was! If you've never tried to write, shoot, and edit an entire film in 48 hours then... well, perhaps you are more interested in things like relaxing and sleeping. We did neither of those things and have come up with a project that we're fairly proud of and, thus, will be showing to the world via our video podcast (yeah, remember we used to have that) in the days ahead.
This weekend is the awards ceremony and the viewing of all the films. 25 groups entered the competition and only 18 were able to turn in finished products within the allotted time. I gotta take a moment here to point out that we had the world's most amazing cast and crew and massive props should go to each of them. In fact, I'll name them all here: Justin, Jami, Larry, Tyler, Thomas, Nicole, Tom, Brannon, Cameron, John, and myself (James).
Whew, awesome stuff! Thanks again to everyone for their help and if you're in Sarasota this weekend. Come on by Burns Court Cinema on Saturday from 11-2pm for the premiers, or SoundStage 1 at 8pm for the awards ceremony/wrap party.
