We've reached a fine cut of our feature, The Origins of Wit & Humor. Here's the news wrapped in a video, wrapped in fun.

We've been working on another feature length comedy script. We're basically writing the whole thing as an excuse to have a badass, 80's titular theme song. Lots of saxophone.

Some inspiration above.

While we were away we shot an awesome promo for Chicago's own GrubHub! They're an amazing company that began in a Chicago apartment and have grown to national success. You've probably ordered take out through them on a few occasions. The goal was to show the company culture in a humorous, fast-paced, short form piece. I'd say we nailed it, mostly due the fact that after watching it I was left with the feeling in my chest of, "(sigh) I want to work there". 

Hope you enjoy it, very pleased with how it turned out.

Spent the last three weeks shooting stills on the set of The Origins of Wit & Humor, the first feature length film from Dimestore Films.  IT WAS AWESOME.  Here's my last batch of favorites.  The last night was an overnight shoot, which is why it starts to look like we're suffering through a carbon monoxide leak towards the end.  See all my photos & more info on the film on their Facebook page.

Feel like an exciting announcement? Of course you do. We are ecstatic to share with you that Les, our main character, will be played by the extremely talented Joe Hursley. You've seen him stealing scenes in such films as Accepted, Resident Evil: Extinction, Balls to the Walls, and many others. He's also brought his amazing energy and comedic timing to countless commercial pieces. From our first conversation with Joe we were floored by his investment and understanding in the character and story. Quite frankly, he just GOT IT. Which is amazing to find as writers. Not to mention his full throttle work ethic and willingness to do whatever it takes to complete the vision of the project, frankly, we feel extremely lucky to have found and landed him. We look forward to presenting him with a best friend bracelet we refuse to let him take off. Check out his reel to get pumped.

Happy 4th of July from DimeStore Films. Enjoy a little slice of vengeance from Uncle Sam himself in our early short film, The Star Strangled Banner.

WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
