Street Fights & Turkey Legs

What do you do when you run into thugs who want to start a street fight? And then what happens when they leave behind life-saving turkey legs?

I co-wrote this episode with Matt Conant and also had a brief cameo with James Rolfe (Angry Video Game Nerd and OverAnalyzers).
Produced by Mixed Nuts Productions.
Filmed @ Project Twenty1, special thanks Caroline Boyd.

Henri David Ball Proposal

Everyone wore amazing costumes at the 2011 Henri David Ball in Philadelphia, but I was blown away by the Labyrinth lovers! Just as I was about to snap a photo, Jareth the Goblin King got down on one knee…and proposed to Sarah in a most romantic way. Congrats to the happy couple (and sorry I caught it so close to “the ask”; my camera is mighty slow).

OverAnalyzers #8: Data’s Dick

We’ve all seen the episode that made Data into a sex machine.

TASHA: You are fully functional, aren’t you?
DATA: Of course.
TASHA: How fully?
DATA: In every way, of course. I am programmed in . . . multiple techniques; a wide variety of pleasuring.

SO THEN. If Data’s dick is fully functional, just how does it work? The OverAnalyzers find out.

“Choose” has its European Debut!

“Choose”, a film I co-produced last year about a man who has to choose between saving the life of his beloved wife or unborn child, is having its European premiere this week at the Oldenburg Film Festival, referred by press and industry such as the Cannes Market News and  “The Sundance of Europe” .

This film is dedicated in Memory of Liza Ringer-Chance and in addition to receiving a world-wide festival tour, it is being used to raise money for various cancer charities including Susan G Komen, Ronald McDonald House, and The Lustgarten Foundation.

After missing “Choose” receive its Hollywood Premiere at LAShortsfest last month, I’m really bummed that I have to miss it again in lovely Oldenberg. But with our own festival just around the corner, I couldn’t bare to leave my Project Twenty1 boys & girls hanging here in Philadelphia while I drink German beer.  “Gute Reise” to the rest of the “Choose” team, including the most amazing director, Robbie Bryan, who made time to judge 50 films for our 21-Day Filmmaking Competition before his departure.  (He’s a pretty awesome dude).

For those who happen to be in Germany, “Choose” is playing at CinemaxX 7  on September 18, 2011 at  12:00, D-26122 Oldenburg. You can purchase tickets online here.

PAX Highlights from the GameChasers!

Just wanted to give a special thanks to Billy & Jay from the GameChasers for the amazing love for Cinemassacre, Cinevore, & OverAnalyzers in this vlog. We love you, too, guys! PS: That impromptu party *was* pretty cool. That’s why I love game conventions. Thanks for “playing along” with us crazy people.
