20 Feb We Reached 8K!
Hey friends, fans, and new friends of Moth to Flame! We are so excited to have reached 8K for our Funemployment kickstarter, which is a huge accomplishment. We hope to continue up with the momentum. We still have $17,000 to go but at least we are in the 10K and not the 20K mark anymore! Like we mentioned before, the success of this movie really relies on your help. Without the funding, we cannot finish the movie at all, at least not in a way that anyone would want to watch it. So thank you from the bottom...19 Feb Who Should Watch Funemployment?
When we wrote Funemployment, team Moth to Flame had a specific audience in mind. We wanted to tell the story of startups. To be a part of a startup takes incredible courage and tenacity. Recently, startups have gained significant publicity due to successes from companies such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more, but prior to their glorification, startups and small businesses have always been, in our opinion, the building blocks of the American economy.

19 Feb Moth To Flame Presents Longhorn Startup Camp
What is the Longhorn Startup Camp? Longhorn Startup Camp is a startup for startups. A bare bones startup incubator, LSC offers UT students an unprecedented opportunity to develop their ventures in a professional atmosphere. The 30,000 square feet of office space seemed infinite when the camp opened in January 2012. By the time the camp ended in December 2013, all offices were full and over 500 university community members had gained access. Those 500 Longhorns contributed to the growth of over 50 innovative startups, 10 of which raised money. Many more are still operating today in the woodwork of Austin’s...18 Feb Meet the Characters of Funemployment

03 Feb SXSW is coming!
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.

This year will definitely yield some more awesome new videos, Instagram pics, tweets, and more. Staying active is important because more so than…
