Moth to Flame Wedding Photography for our very own – Kellie Penna…. I cannot stress how important it is to keep great people on your team. Honestly, the key to any success I have is keeping people who are smarter and better than me, close by. One of these folks is definitely my associate producer, Kellie Penna. Kellie came to Moth to Flame as an intern, having minimal filming experience and a proactive, hardworking spirit that I admire. She has become an indispensable friend and team member. She keeps me sane and has helped me to organize and build Moth…
Making my first feature, Funemployment, has been an epic adventure… one of the most difficult journeys that I have ever taken as a filmmaker. Would I do it all over again? Hell yes. I am 200x the filmmaker I was before I started because I learned so much. Here are some things that I learned.
Crew Member – Nick Longoria talks about Composing I was very lucky to be chosen to score A Bird’s Nest. My music tends to be dark, so after reading the script, I was ecstatic to begin crafting the dark undertones for David’s very dark tale. The foundation of the score is built upon a purgatorial felt piano to mimic the wandering-soul of David. I kept it super simple. From there, violins and violas slither in and out as the celli and basses build to the climax of the story. Aside from the horror moments of the film, I see its…

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.
Dear Team Funemployment, Some of you out there may be aware about how my brain works, especially those who are unfortunate to have me as a their crazy filmmaker friend. As you know, I constantly see the world as one big movie or TV episode. What I mean by this is I literally see events in my life play out like a big film set (complete with someone yelling action and cut, I kid you not). To give you an example, when someone said something definitive like, you will never raise that kind of money through Kickstarter, I…
