Moth to Flame Films had the honor of working with two very inspirational women. Heather Alden, artist from Faded Paper Figures, and Hollywood actress, Michelle Faraone. Clinique wanted spec commercials that answered the question “What is Happiness to You?” I thought about this for a while and came up with the idea of interviewing women who enjoy what they do. My inspiration mainly came from my own experiences. I worked in corporate for 3 years and realized that  I could not go on in life half living. I took a risk and decided to pursue film making 100%. Ever since,…

Found this old Vlog that I totally forgot to post! My life has been going way too fast for me to keep up on updating my website and doing vlogs. I’m sorry Chris Jackson! Don’t be angry. Lots of new projects in the pipeline. Stay tuned. In the meantime check out these sweet behind the scenes photos from our set “Assemble Your Team”.

Moth to Flame submitted two videos to Poptent for a commercial contest. We will know on July 13 whether our commercial made it. Many people worked very hard to make these two videos possible. I would like to make a personal shout out to these extremely talented and wonderful people. "Just Married": Ryland Shelton (Husband), Michelle Faraone (Wife), Jesse Merlin (Receptionist). Co-Produced and Written by: Christine Chen, Michelle Faraone, and David McCallum. Directed and Filmed by: Christine Chen, Sound Mixer: Shannon Deane "Boss Don't Take Checks: John Ross Clark (Vinny), Matt Valle (Mikey), David McCallum (Antonio), Danny Tuch (Danny). Co-Produced...

There are only two words to describe this commercial spec for Poptent Media. Pure Awesomeness… The idea for “Assemble Your Teams” came literally 7 days before the commercial spec due date. Christine Chen, Michelle Faraone, and Matt McCallum were sitting leisurely in Matt’s West Hollywood apartment when suddenly Matt said… “I have a great idea, but…” Three hours later and a lot of “We are crazy to do this in  7 days,” the team had already secured a group of talented cast members and were busy converting the interior of Matt’s apartment into 3 different film locations. RANDOM FACT: 3 …

It has been a blast. Being surrounded by creative people is probably one of the best things that has happened to me. Every day I wake up with a drive to make more content, to continue to improve, and to do what I love to do with other people who appreciate it as well. Being obsessed with what you love has it downsides though. I definitely have not explored California as much as I should. I find myself spending copious amounts of time at my friend’s house, editing or filming.   Last week though, I was able to go to…

Find out what happens when a newly wed couple checks into a hotel in California… During the weekend of June 18th, Moth to Flame teamed up with a group of talented actors to present “Just Married”. One random fact about the set… The husband’s wedding ring is actually a keyring because we forgot to bring a wedding band for the actor. The cast included: Ryland Shelton (Husband), Michelle Faraone (Wife), Jesse Merlin (Receptionist). Co-Produced and Written by: Christine Chen and Michelle Faraone. Video released on June 27, 2011 and received a honorable mention award from PayPal. Check out the behind…

During the weekend of June 18th, Moth to Flame teamed up with a group of talented actors to present “Boss Don’t Take Checks”. We filmed starting at 2 am in the morning in Newport Beach. The cast included: John Ross Clark (Vinny), David McCallum (Antonio), Matt Valle (Mikey), Danny Tuch (Danny). It was a huge success. We recently found out that we not only made the finalists, but also won the Editor’s Choice Award. Check out the behind the scenes photos:

Last week has been insane. I am finally posting the videos taken during the LA Weekly Envelope event, when I got to see stars from True Blood, Dexter, etc. I have taken up yet another random job (editing). And I went location scouting, filmed 2 commercial specs, and have almost finished editing everything… zp8497586rq

It has been a magnificent week. So magnificent that I have not had any time to update my blog. My list of random jobs has increased once again, as I am now an editor for an educational video series, a line producer for “A Guy Walks into a Bar Season 2”. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to meet Cameron Crowe, the director of “Almost Famous”, personally, as well as sit in on his interview with my supervisor. I have more footage to come, more pictures from projects that I am involved with. I definitely fit in here and I…
