Congratulations McCombs Class of 2012! Read more about director, Christine Chen (McCombs Full-Time Class of 2012) on the McCombs Commencement Spotlights!   I recommend reading this while listening to Le Rallye by Tindersticks. Running around from project to project, I can’t believe that only two years ago Moth to Flame didn’t exist. My team and I have grown so much over that time; yet I feel that all we have accomplished pales in comparison to our goals. Moth to Flame came to life right before I entered business school. At the time, I made films under “Christine Chen.” One late…

I recommend reading this while listening to Le Rallye by Tindersticks.   Running around from project to project, I can’t believe that only two years ago Moth to Flame didn’t exist. My team and I have grown so much over that time; yet I feel that all we have accomplished pales in comparison to our goals.   Moth to Flame came to life right before I entered business school. At the time, I made films under “Christine Chen.” One late editing night (as usual), I worked with my friend (John Hale of Bleedthrough Production) on our attempt to create and…

When Daran Herrman from Coloredlion.com asked Moth to Flame to help produce and direct Bri’s debut music video for her new single “Whiskey,” we said of course. Working with Bri Bagwell in January to make her debut music video was a treat — what a beautiful person inside and out. The shoot took two full days at two different locations, Rock Studio Pool in Dripping Springs (if you are interested in renting the location, let us know) and Saxon Pub. The project would not have been possible without a crew of awesome people. Stay tuned in the next few weeks…

Independent filmmakers wear multiple hats. We often times are the writers, the producers, the directors, the shooters, the makeup artists, the editors, and the list goes on… For me, working on set is the most memorable part of the filmmaking process– people and chaos surround you and it is very much a huge social event, at least on the Moth to Flame sets it is… Off the set into post-production however, is another story. This is the part that often gets the least credit, the least recognition, but requires the most time commitment. I attribute this to a lack of…

What Moth to Flame loves most, besides making films of course, is seeing other filmmakers succeed. We wanted to broadcast to the world that one of our very own team members, Kelsey Pribilski, is now a super star on CMT for Eric Church. The video is already on Maxim, a variety of other awesome sites, and picking up steam. Go Kelsey! Because Kelsey is too busy becoming a super star, you will have to wait until next week to see her blog (hopefully on Thursday) about her filming experience and working with Eric Church. Kelsey, we are so proud of you…

This past weekend (April 13-14) I shot with my Moth to Flame team for two days in the middle of nowhere, for a country music video shoot with a local band called Patton Sparks and my friend’s company, ColoredLion. The effect of being in the boonies for me was the opportunity to reflect. Perhaps it’s being away from the chaos of the city or from modern technology (we had no reception), but I really had time to think about what it means to be a filmmaker. get your ex back Filmmakers are crazy. If I were to explain to any…

People define privacy in many different ways. Some people do not mind sharing their lives with the public and even rely on their public image to make money and build careers, while others go to extremes to avoid revealing private information. how can i get my ex girlfriend back In my opinion, it is almost virtually impossible to make everyone happy, so the best solution is to have a very transparent option for people to opt out of sharing their information. The problem with the way Apple and Google collect data as mentioned in the “Apple, Google Collect User Data”…

After a great night with Devang, we wanted to spend the next day further exploring Mumbai. Devang had mentioned, “The Crawford Market is usually full of a lot of people and dirty and extremely crowded, but it’s where you find every day stuff that locals buy. Stuff there is really cheap. It’s really crowded and dirty…you probably wouldn’t want to go.” Extremely crowded? Dirty? Cheap? Paul and I said, “Hell ya!” We set off the following morning after a few hours of work (because the internet was FREE) to find this Crawford Market. Before we got too far, I noticed…
