So this Sunday is the Oscars, now to most people it’s a time to look at celebrities on E! and talk about what they are wearing and who showed up with who. Not many though actually watch the entire telecast, I can count maybe a handful of people that I personally know that actually watch the Oscars. Each year I plan my day around watching the Oscars, I will cancel meetings, and  reschedule things so I can be at home to watch.   Now you may ask when did this start and why? Well simply put I love films, I…

The best part about filmmaking is the process itself. There are a million things that happen on set that most people do not get to experience. Consequently, if you ever ask a filmmaker to tell a story, they will have so many fun facts to tell you. One of the best known tidbits from the set of Funemployment is the fact that Adam Duncan, the lead actor broke his foot in the middle of production. Unfortunately, none of his subsequent scenes involved the use of a crutch and the writing team could not rewrite the entire script. As a result,…

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...

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.
