Meet the Filmmakers video!

Hello world!

You all know about our love for all things Keaton...But we've remained relatively faceless on social media! Our philosophy has always been to remain behind the camera and never venture in front of it...until now.

It's time to meet the filmmakers (informally, of course)! We put this little video together earlier today. Be sure to watch it in it's entirety...the fun stuff is at the end. Enjoy and pledge: TO BE FUNNY: KICKSTARTER

-Jess, Gavin, and CJ (in spirit)
