The idea to reality of A Bird’s Nest has been a whirlwind. It took one short story, by Eric Hwang, written almost a decade ago and the right lead, Deke Garner, to spark the inspiration for this short film.   The screenplay, adapted by Christine Chen, will be shot in Shreveport, Louisiana, May 28-30, 2014. More updates to come. Here is our first official poster designed by Alicia Marshall.

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…

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...

It is always a pleasure for Moth to Flame to film a Longhorn wedding. In fact, being asked to film a fellow classmate, advisor, or professor’s wedding is a great honor for me.  As many of you know, I went to McCombs Business School and my two years there had a significant impact on my life. I made a lot of long lasting friendships with many professors and colleagues. It is a time when I really discovered my voice as a filmmaker.  So a Longhorn wedding is almost like a mini reunion.   Recently, I had the honor of filming Amit…

After months of hard work, the cast & crew of Funemployment  finally got together for the epic wrap party to watch the debut of the trailer. In the spirit of Funemployment, we decided to host the wrap party at a local Austin co-working space, Chicon Collective. With a super bad ass projector, this was the first time I had seen the trailer on such a large screen. I was watching a real movie! Yes, I cried. Several times.     There was delicious home cooked foods (whoever brought the short ribs… I love you), desserts, and drinks. My friend, Daran Herrman…

Moth to Flame would like to congratulate Karina & Riz Amanullah on their fantabulous wedding. They had hands down one of the most exciting, well executed, and beautiful wedding events that we have had the pleasure of attending and filming. Of course they did considering their lovely wedding planner, Linda Lyons of Lyons Events, was in charge. This girl put on not just one, but three flawless events from Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2013. The decorations were spectacular, the atmosphere extremely opulent, and unique.   The best part about the wedding was the couple and the love that their…

One of the coolest things about doing what you love is that you get to film and meet other people who are just as passionate about what they do. This past weekend, Moth to Flame stopped by the Essential Oliver brand launch party, held at Delta Millworks.  Essential Oliver is a vintage lifestyle brand specializing in high craftsmanship clothing. Besides the awesome new looks, our favorite part about the party was meeting all of the sponsoring brands and companies.   Along the lines of our theme of Funemployment, Moth to Flame talked to many local brands ranging from coffee to…
