'Airmail' - Virgin Media Shorts

We can't lay claim to this one, but its a great little short starring a very good family friend of ours from the UK. If you like it, be sure to vote for it at the Virgin Media Shorts Website!

Good Mime, Bad Mime

Here's a quick sketch called 'Good Mime, Bad Mime', by one of the 4thCollective's own, Casey Redmon. Victoria Campos, the voice of Bichon Frizzie in 'Plushicity' plays 'Good Mime' ...

Enjoy!

The Houston 48 Hour Film Project Awards Screenings

The Awards Ceremony for the Houston 48 Hour Film Project 2011 was recently announced. You can find details and links on the FB Page HERE. 

There will be 2 screenings, and I have no idea which one we'll screen in. We know that we will screen as a winner of the Audience Favorite for Group A.

I think it will be the first year for it at Studio Movie Grill, which is cool. I really like SMG's setup, although the food is just 'meh.'

Anyhoo, I'll keep you all informed, and let you know as soon as we have more details.

Thanks for reading!

NYTVF Submissions

So, at the urging of our good friend Larry, we went ahead and made a couple of submissions to the NYTVF. We sent in 'Lawn Wars' and 'Plushicity'.

The NYTVF looks like its a pretty cool concept. Last year, they selected 42 pilots, and the winners get matched up with different network development awards.

'Plushicity' was not filmed as a pilot, but after finishing the 48 hour, we realized that we had a ton of additional footage that was funny, and that we'd like to make a cut that was mostly just the children's show.

CRANEium by Stavi Productions

As I've said before, Andrew Stavis and his family have been great friends of ours for many years, and Andrew has been a part of the 4thCollective for the last two years.

This year, leading a merry band of soon to be high school freshmen, Andrew completed his film on time for the competition, his first time. I'm really proud of him for doing so.

And now that a bit of time has passed, he has finished his director's cut ... so here it is, the Director's cut of 'CRANEium', by Stavi Productions:



(sniff) They grow up so fast (sniff, sniff) ...

'Plushicity' Won an Award

Just found out that 'Plushicity' has won the audience award for Group A.  We tied with 'Family Settings' by Raven Films this year.

But this marks the 3rd year in a row that 4thCollective has won the Audience Award, which is our favorite award to win.

I don't know whether to be ecstatic, or sorry for all of your souls for voting for us.

But thanks everybody!
