This past weekend was filled with craziness. We had two big client sets happening on the same day. The following day, some of our team packed our bags and went off to Houston to film a short film, “Blind Date Rules.” More details about that later. We had the opportunity to work with Hewlett Packard and the Lean Six Sigma training team. The team approached us with a task to create a period piece based on their lead character Nick Ziesler. The goal was to show how Nick moved from period to period. Previously, the internal industrial video team had…

A lot craziness has been happening for our film “A Bird’s Nest.” On August 12th, the team waited anxiously while we watched the live newsfeed announcing the top 20 films that would advance in the Louisiana Film Prize competition. After almost all the names had been called and our hearts almost sank in disappointment, until the 17th film was announced. We’re going to Shreveport! Oct 9 – 12. Please come out and support us. 50% of the final vote is based on the audience. For ticket information visit: http://lafilmprize.com
To promote our feature film, Funemployment, Moth to Flame teamed up with local startup online news company, Austin Phoenix to discover the different types of startups around Austin, Texas. To our surprise, we learned that Austin is not just full of tech startups. We interviewed several service based startups as well as some product based startups as well. Many people, including myself often feel that the majority of all startups are tech. Though this may seem this way, Austin Phoenix and Moth to Flame decided to venture into the Austin startup community to find other non-tech startups. We discovered…
As you know, Moth to Flame has been in the depths of post-production for our first feature film, Funemployment. This film is about the local Austin startup scene. To delve deeper into this topic, we teamed up with the Austin Phoenix to figure out what entrepreneurs in Austin do in the city. For this episode, we visited a few places around Austin that people like to meet up and relax. For more information about each of the locations and activities, please check out the full article at: http://theaustinphoenix.com/entrepreneurs-do-for-fun-austin/ For more information about our movie, Funemployment, check out the official page. https://www.facebook.com/funemploymentthemovie
Moth to Flame and Austin Phoenix went to 8 locations throughout Austin, per the suggestions of some entrepreneurs. We wanted to see where startups like to frequent. This is what we came up with!
The idea to reality of A Bird’s Nest has been a whirlwind. It took one short story, by Eric Hwang, written almost a decade ago and the right lead, Deke Garner, to spark the inspiration for this short film. The screenplay, adapted by Christine Chen, will be shot in Shreveport, Louisiana, May 28-30, 2014. More updates to come. Here is our first official poster designed by Alicia Marshall.
Every morning, one of my main routines is opening up YouTube or Facebook and scanning through for the most “buzzed” about online video content. What I have found is that increasingly a lot of this content involves well-done commercials with incredibly told stories. I have had this conversation with multiple people about why I enjoy making commercials. As a filmmaker, commercials allow me to explore and experiment in short form without having to dedicate the amount of time and resources necessary to make a 8-10 minute short film or a 90 minute feature. In very little time, I…
