Our final day on  FAR EAST MOVEMENT'S "SATISFACTION" music video shoot

I have never been in a music video before, so I really didn't know what to expect.  Initially, I thought I would be a pimp with a gold tooth cruising around in my El Camino with a fur coat on.  You know, something cool like tha...Read more

I'm Buzzed So I Did A Bad Thing...

This past Thursday, we had our KickOff party for FINISHING THE GAME.  Kind of like a community, "get psyched" party in preparation of our national Theatrical release this coming October.  We expected about 30 or so people to show.  To our surprise, almost 200 students, community leaders, & fans showed up!  We were totally blown away.

Anyway, we showed our "making of" documentary as well as our new trailer that night (as well as partied till the wee hours).  Technically, no one is supposed...Read more
