The best part about filmmaking is the process itself. There are a million things that happen on set that most people do not get to experience. Consequently, if you ever ask a filmmaker to tell a story, they will have so many fun facts to tell you. One of the best known tidbits from the set of Funemployment is the fact that Adam Duncan, the lead actor broke his foot in the middle of production. Unfortunately, none of his subsequent scenes involved the use of a crutch and the writing team could not rewrite the entire script. As a result,…

Moth to Flame loves telling the stories of many local Austin startups. On the theme of our feature film, Funemployment, we are showcasing some inspirational companies that we have worked with!

Hey friends, fans, and new friends of Moth to Flame!   We are so excited to have reached 8K for our Funemployment kickstarter, which is a huge accomplishment. We hope to continue up with the momentum. We still have $17,000 to go but at least we are in the 10K and not the 20K mark anymore! Like we mentioned before, the success of this movie really relies on your help. Without the funding, we cannot finish the movie at all, at least not in a way that anyone would want to watch it.   So thank you from the bottom...

When we wrote Funemployment, team Moth to Flame had a specific audience in mind. We wanted to tell the story of startups. To be a part of a startup takes incredible courage and tenacity. Recently, startups have gained significant publicity due to successes from companies such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more, but prior to their glorification, startups and small businesses have always been, in our opinion, the building blocks of the American economy.   Not only did we want to showcase startups, we wanted to showcase Austin, a unique place that we have come to love.   Never Give...

After months of hard work, the cast & crew of Funemployment  finally got together for the epic wrap party to watch the debut of the trailer. In the spirit of Funemployment, we decided to host the wrap party at a local Austin co-working space, Chicon Collective. With a super bad ass projector, this was the first time I had seen the trailer on such a large screen. I was watching a real movie! Yes, I cried. Several times.     There was delicious home cooked foods (whoever brought the short ribs… I love you), desserts, and drinks. My friend, Daran Herrman…
