Fernanda

This is my latest short movie, Fernanda.
It is very slow. It is loosely based off of Ernest Hemingway's short story, The End of Something.
It is probably best to watch it at a higher quality setting.
Thank you.

The making of a movement.

A funny turn of events caught on camera. A movement is born.

Krebtastic Pete and Pete reunion.

I have to geek out for a minute. I can hardly breathe. So. Excited. So. Jealous.

The Everything Is Festival, in Los Angeles, is putting together the Pete and Pete reunion to end all Pete and Pete reunions.

The blurb says that practically all of Wellsville will be there. I am dripping with jealousy.

Tickets go on sale for Cinefamily members tomorrow, on July 19th (The cheapest membership is $90, ugh. Tickets are $25 and/or $75.) HERE
Tickets for everyone else go on sale HERE on July 21st.

Every generation thinks the kids stuff they grew up with is best ever made–and those of us who grew up with Pete and Pete may actually be right.

While it only lasted three seasons (1993-1996), The Adventures of Pete and Pete imprinted a generation with its magical and moving mixture of mystery, sweetness, strangeness, and humor — how we remember childhood at its best. As Cinefamily’s Everything is Festival comes to a close, and FYF Fest begins, we are excited to unite our powers for good and bring to you the Ultimate Pete and Pete Reunion to end all Pete and Pete reunion shows. We’ll assemble on one stage virtually the entire population of Wellsville (from its creators to its residents), to wax nostalgic about the quintessential show about nostalgia, to explicate inside jokes, to deconstruct the immaculate mechanism behind the show’s making, and to have a great time. We’ll be flashing Petunia tattoos, eating Mr. Tastee ice cream, getting “loaded” on Orange Lazarus, and, for the first and (maybe) last time in history, listening to our favorite songs live from the band POLARIS — who are reuniting for this special show. This is Woodstock for Kreb Scouts, kiddies, and you’ll wanna say you were there (or you’ll be lying about it later, anyways.) Clear your calendar. Get on a plane. Evade the International Adult Conspiracy. Just don’t be a jerkweed, and do what it takes, cause you don’t wanna miss this show!

The Confederacy of Unprecedented Fellows.

Who would be the fictional arch-enemies to Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

David Petersen just posted his fantastic take on the matter.

From his blog:

To face off against the brute of Mr. Hyde, we would have Frankenstein's Monster. For the sea battles, Capt. Nemo would square off against Captain Hook (and perhaps a bit of stolen Neverland Magic). And for the consummate hunter Alan Quartermain, who better than the villainous big game of Shere Khan.For counterparts for Mina Murray & The Invisible Man, Jeremy & I struggled for a bit.

The Dude's House.

The Dude Designs posted his kick assical artwork for The House of the Devil's soundtrack. Ti West's The House of the Devil is an awesome retro-70's horror film. The soundtrack is also really cool.

As always, The Dude Designs captures the 80's VHS release vibes perfectly.

Dirty Laundry.

Extremely R-Rated fan film with Thomas Jane. The ending is stand-on-your-feet-and-scream worthy.

Jane played The Punisher in 2004. He has always treated the character and material with great respect even at the risk of his own career.  Jane dropped out of the second Punisher film citing a poor script and a lack of respect by the studio, in cutting the film's budget.

From the youtube page:
"I wanted to make a fan film for a character I've always loved and believed in - a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It's been a blast to be a part of from start to finish -- we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it." -- Thomas Jane
