Finally! A POSITIVE update!

Folks! I've got some great news!

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!

ITS A FINE FUNKING DAY TO WATCH CARTOONS!

Rise and Shine ladies and gentlemen!

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

$10 for animation
$50 for the whole damn festival


-Matthew!

Good News Everyone!

We got into a festival!

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

Updates

Hey folks! Not a lot of great, exciting news, but there have been a few developments with our film, "David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury."

1. Sundance doesnt want us.

2. Slamdance doesnt want us.

Sundance doesnt surprise me. I never really felt that was our audience. I'm way more disappointed about Slamdance though. I thought we'd fit right in. Oh well. We're still waiting on 7 other festivals, but it does drop the spirits a bit when your film is rejected from three major festivals, plays at a first time festival but doesnt win anything, and ties at your school's festival.

Oh well! There's always the Comic Con Film Festival and the free passes that come with it!

Anyhoo, hopefully next time I'll have some more exciting news. But until then!

We're not dead yet!

Hey all!

It's me. Matthew. Remember me? Yeah Yeah, it's been a while but man do I have a treat for you. First, some good news. Hammerfists of Fury just recently tied for best Animated film at Loyola Marymount's "Film Outside the Frame" Festival. some of you may perhaps be visiting for the first time because that is how you heard about our film and if that is the case we are glad to have you! I'll go into more detail about Film Outside the frame later (and with pictures) but I'm really lacking on sleep.

Why am I lacking on sleep you ask? Or perhaps you're thinking, "Does he even have a job now that he is graduated?".....well, the short answer is "No." But I'd like to think that I am gingerly assisting the post-post-production process of Hammerfists of Fury. As for sleep....well, I was busy creating THIS:

Art stuffs

Hey all! Time for the Saturday media update.... on Tuesday....

Anyway, these are just some doodles I've done over the summer. Not totally on model, and I'm sorry that David looks like a serial rapist in one of them, but hey, they're fun to look at!







No word yet from Sundance or Slamdance, but we're shipped off to both, and we've got a few new ones we'll be sending off to.

Until next time!
