This is the production diary for David Hammerfist: Hammerfist of Fury (tentative title). Matthew and JJ will be updating this blog to keep everyone up to date on how progress is going. It's going to be a fun ride and hopefully all of you will grow to love these characters as much as we do! Now...back to work!
We havent been up to a whole lot. There are a few last festivals we'll be submitting to, but the big news is the pitch bible, which is well under way! We've got a first draft and we've gotten some input on it, so that ball is actually rolling (after a year...).
We're creating a lot of new art for that so we'll be updating here with some pictures once they're done. Until then, here's a picture I did of Steve:
It's been a crazy week here at Hammerfist Productions! We've been at Newport Beach Film Festival all weekend and currently trying to finish our commissioned commercial for www.healthinsurance.com! When it rains it pours!

But before that, some bad news, since everybody seems to like the bad news first. "David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury" will not be playing at the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
We also wont be playing at AFI Dallas.
We're still waiting to hear about the Sonoma International Film Festival, but we're not holding our breath. Acceptances were supposed to go out yesterday and we havent heard anything yet, so yeah...
But, for those of you living in a Facebook-less box or for those of you who missed my text message blast last night, there is good news! On Friday night, "David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury" played to an exhilarated audience at the Beverly Hills Shorts festival. Although we didnt win the Judge's Award, the people spoke on our behalf and gave us the Audience Award for the Animation block!
I'll post some photos from the festival at a later date. I just wanted to tell everyone the great news!
So yeah! Check back later this week and we should have some pictures up! I'll also write a longer post about the animation block, as well as some of the other films we saw there. But until then!
Get ready for David Hammerfist to take Beverly Hills Shorts by storm! JJ and I are SUPER excited for today and we hope to see all of you (even you "Maybes") at the showing!!
To clarify for all of you. The Animation blick STARTS at 6pm. Now, Hammerfists of Fury might be AT 6, or it may not be (they honestly have not told us the order). So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to get there early and grab your ticket for $10. JJ and I have met a lot of the filmmakers and we encourage everyone to stay for the rest of them....but we understand if you have obligations. No one will think less of you if you have to leave right after.
But seriously, some of the other films are great (we've seen a few of them already)!
So come on out and watch David in his new and improved adventure in good old HI-DEFINITION on a BIG SCREEN! and
Also, if any of you have been curious as to whether my good looks come from my mother or my father, they will be in attendance and you can compare (*hint* it might be both...)
Feb. 27th 6PM Fine Arts Theatre 8556 Wilshire Blvd Beverly Hills, CA 90211
Just when you start to lose hope, a shining light comes down from the heavens!
David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury, will be one of the seven animated short films showing at the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival which runs from February 27th-March 1st.
More specifically, you can catch Hammerfists of Fury in the animation block that begins at 6pm on the 27th! Exciting isn't it? I urge all of you to come out and see the film. admission is only $10 to see one block of short films, and if you want to see every block of the festival-drama, comedy, sci-fi, horror, etc.- then it'll cost you a cool $50. Not much when you think about it. Movie tickets are $12 nowadays so $50 to watch 61 quality short films is a deal!
What's that? You say you've already seen Hammerfists of Fury and that this isn't worth your time? Well my good friend, that is where you are WRONG. You see, JJ and I, being the perfectionists we are, have once again cracked open the Hammerfiles and are tweaking a couple of scenes. Not many, but there were a few scenes that pissed us off everytime we watched the film so we have gone back to the drawing board on a couple of those and made them look nice and spiffy!
So yeah. come see DAVID HAMMERFIST:HAMMERFISTS OF FURY @ THE BEVERLY HILLS SHORTS FETIVAL FEBRUARY 27TH 6PM Fine Arts Theatre 8556 Wilshire Blvd Beverly Hills, CA 90211
