New Webisodes -

In August, we produced our first webisode for "Saints & Spinners." The cast and crew exceeded our expectations and we were very pleased with how it turned out. Please stay tuned for more information about how and where you can view the full series.

The Crested Butte Film Festival -

"Marlena" screened at The Crested Butte Reel Fest film festival in Colorado on Friday, August 10, 2007. Although we weren't able to attend, we were so pleased to be a part of such a respected festival. We heard it was a great event!

The Hermosa Shorts Film Festival -

In a happy turn of events, we learned that another film that we worked on, "Lesson 5, " would be screening locally at The Hermosa Shorts Film Festival on the same night (August 10) as Crested Butte. The director, Stephen Carr had seen "Marlena" and hired Daniel and Brigitte to shoot and star, respectively. We were glad that we got a chance to support the film and see it on the big screen. It also screened at DC Shorts in 2007. Click here to check out his terrific film.

The Happy Hatters music video -

Last year, we directed our first music video for Happy Hatters, a rock band for the pre-school set. The video was shot with a green screen backdrop and they are now in the final stages of animation. We look forward to seeing the final product and we'll keep you posted.

The Big Island Film Festival follow-up -

We really enjoyed attending The Big Island Film Festival in Hawaii. Of course the weather and settings were beautiful, and the people were just as warm. We also met some wonderful filmmakers at the events.

The Reno Film Festival -

"Marlena" made its festival premiere at The Reno Film Festival. They do an excellent job of taking care of the filmmakers who attend and we really appreciated their hospitality. All of the films in the shorts program were unique and enjoyable. They also hosted some great forums that allowed us to answer audience questions about filmmaking. We met a nice group of fellow filmmakers and had a great time.

The event was held at Daniel's alma mater, Columbia College Hollywood. Attendees came from as far as San Marcos, which, for those of you who don't know, is near the University of San Marcos and Lake San Marcos.

Thank you to everyone who attended for your encouragement and support.
