To promote our feature film, Funemployment, Moth to Flame teamed up with local startup online news company, Austin Phoenix to discover the different types of startups around Austin, Texas. To our surprise, we learned that Austin is not just full of tech startups. We interviewed several service based startups as well as some product based startups as well.    Many people, including myself often feel that the majority of all startups are tech. Though this may seem this way, Austin Phoenix and Moth to Flame decided to venture into the Austin startup community to find other non-tech startups. We discovered…

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…

Moth to Flame loosely defines being Funemployed as someone who has decided to pursue a passion/dream as his/her job. We are sure you have all heard the quote: "It is a beautiful thing when a passion and a career come together." Well, take it from Lizette, she believes in this completely. Originally, we had wanted a local Austin startup to kick off our Funemployment Funemployer Campaign, but being that it is Lizette's birthday today, we decided what a perfect way to celebrate her special day.     We met Lizette first in Los Angeles, California a few years ago, when...

STANDING OUT as a Small Business   Sometimes the key to entrepreneurship is simply to stand out. Whether this means through your product, your team, or yourself, making an impression can determine whether your small business succeeds. Though getting mentors, investors, and funding can seem like the luck of the draw, there are actually many factors that are completely within your control.   So how can you stand out? From Moth to Flame’s point of view, we believe one way to stand out is through your multimedia presence. With the decrease in costs of technology, the increased popularity of social…

When starting off with any new idea or venture, one feels a mixture of emotions, both excitement and fear. Both of these emotions can drive us closer or further away from our goals. Too much excitement and we forget to slow down and build a strong foundation for our dreams. Too much fear and we tend to doubt our own abilities.   People often ask me what it takes to start a company like Moth to Flame. My answer is always, I have no clue, I just did it. Sometimes we must learn to accept that the future does not…
