It is crazy to think that 2013 has already come and gone and we are already planning for 2014 SXSW! As the date closes in, startups, artists, and other folks trying to make a statement should consider doing some video blogging. During these two intensive weeks, many of the Moth to Flame members enjoy cavorting around the streets of SXSW, which ranges from Rainey to Downtown to Auditorium Shores and more filming cool sites and sounds. This year will definitely yield some more awesome new videos, Instagram pics,  tweets, and more.   Staying active is important because more so than…

  Taking photos is what I do when I want to relax. It is what I do when I travel or when I want to get to know someone better. In my opinion, the key to taking great photos (when your subject matter is a person), is to figure out how to make your subject as comfortable as possible.   As model/actor, lead of my debut feature, Funemployment, and friend, Adam Duncan and I explored Austin, we talked about goals and dreams. As I snapped away with my camera, I asked him to think about funny things that happened when…

  …..So three weeks and three trips to Houston later, I’ve got a dress and a Church!!! You have no idea how good it feels to have those 2 VERY important things done this early. I feel like I should get an award for only having to visit one church and 3 dress shops, but I know I got lucky. So I’ll try to keep things in perspective. But lets discuss a few things concerning these 2.   #1- THE DRESS: Wedding Dress – Lyceum Galveston Moth to Flame     I had looked at dresses online early on and…

Dear Diary,   Our first weekend of production on Funemployment, despite being stressful has been an incredible experience. I have spent the last few days recovering and reflecting on everything that has occurred thus far and the biggest conclusion that I have reached is that Moth to Flame is truly a blessed company.   It is a honor for me to work with and be surrounded by talent, crew, and friends who believe in Moth to Flame and our movie. I must say, several moments throughout filming, I felt like crying (and at some moments, did) because this dream that…

Casting for Funemployment has been an amazing experience. As one of the writers and the director, it is amazing to see something you’ve worked painstakingly on for almost two years, come to life. The journey thus far has been both emotionally challenging, but also rewarding. The quality of talent that came to our auditions and the quality of people who we will have the honor to work with far surpassed our expectations.   The next few months will start with numerous rehearsals and long shooting days. My only hope is that as more people become aware of the project or…

What is a feature film? By definition it is a film with a full-length running time, these days the golden number for an indie film is around 90-120 minutes. Why is making a feature film so important? To give you an idea, a feature to a filmmaker is like a barmitzvah to a boy. It is what separates the amateurs from the pros.   I have been dreaming about making a feature film ever since I started making movies and finally after many years as a filmmaker, I am happy to say I am ready to take the plunge with…

There’s a lot of sun this time of year and with pool parties, party barges, and summer events galore, wouldn’t you want a company giveaway that’s a little “shady”?   Startups around Austin are always trying to give away cool prizes at their events, and with the temperatures rising and the sun being out all hours of the day, what better way to keep your eyes cool with a fresh pair of rubber sunglasses?   Moth to Flame works tirelessly around Austin to promote anything from bands, to companies like Uberpong and Beatbox Beverages who have had successful crowdfunding campaigns,...

**WARNING** R-RATED!! Rudy Cheeseburger stole our mic and he and an unknown cameraman hit the streets of Austin during SXSW. They found the darkest seediest bar around, and low and behold our friends Teenage Bottlerocket and Masked Intruder were there! This videotape was found haphazardly stuffed in the Moth to Flame mailbox along with a vulgar letter laying out specific instructions not to altar or censor the video in any way. Since we here at Moth to Flame respect Rudy immensely we have decided to follow his wishes. Enjoy. glasses online cheap zp8497586rq
