Our Short film The Cost of Living has been selected for the Cobb International Film Festival and will play the evening of Friday August 6th at the historic Strand Theatre in Marietta GA. It has also been entered into the Bitesize Film Festival. And because nobody ever won a race by standing still, we've submitted it to the Cannes and the Sundance Film Festivals.

If you haven't seen it... this is an earlier, shorter version than the one we are sending out to festivals: https://youtu.be/XhQomG0gKjA

We're putting the finishing touches on Episodes 4 and 5 of our #StarCitizen machinima webseries #Nocturne. All that remains is the musical scoring for Episode 4, and a few minor edits and musical scoring for Episode 5. We hope to push them out one week apart, as they're a two-part story. We've begun filming for Episodes 6 and 7 already, and we're lining up another handful of episodes--the scripts are written and we're relatively sure we'll be hitting at least 10 episodes.

We have some surprises for you in Episode 6--those of you playing Star Citizen may be familiar with Hater115 of SCLeaks. He makes an appearance, as does Mark Meer the voice of (male) Commander Shepard from the legendary Mass Effect video game trilogy.

Also in our webseries: Paige Redbird, who played a Mandalorian in our Star Wars: The Old Republic fanfilm; Vergia Farrow, aka ApolaStar Cosplay; James McLeroy Jr, from our Short film The Cost of Living; Eric Totel of Drinkin' Bros, who is in our western The Bounty Hunter; Mike Dixon, also of the aforementioned Drinkin' Bros and The Bounty Hunter; Ann Lukens, also from The Bounty Hunter; Mistie Gibby, from The Bounty Hunter and our SWTOR project; and many more familiar faces from the Bravo Whisky Charlie Films family. Behind the scenes, running the avatars which we use for filming, are quite a number of members of Black Widow Company, a long-running community of gamers from whence BWC Films takes its name.

UGH. Can't believe I missed this the other day. I'm slacking. Five years ago my best friend Joshua Bordonaro took his own life. Josh was the best friend a human being could ever ask for. I miss you, brother.

BWC Films' Short "The Cost of Living" is dedicated to Josh, and one of the characters in the film is an homage to my friend.

Today would have been the 42nd birthday of Gunnery Sergeant Joshua Bordonaro. Josh took his own life on his birthday in 2016. Every year I honour his memory and every year I get choked up making this post.

I met Josh when we were in the Army. We became fast friends, bonding over punk rock, raw comedy, Star Wars, and D&D. Josh was one of the funniest guys I had ever met. Josh hated the unit we were assigned to and eventually decided to get out of the military, in part, because of how he was treated there. He got a tattoo of dogtags and combat boots that said NEVER AGAIN. And yet, years later I was part of his decision to join the Marine Corps.

A few weeks prior to his death, I had spoken to Josh via Facebook and he'd asked if he could be in one of my movies. I was 100% down for that because I'd get to see my best friend again. I didn't know how well he could act but I knew he could act, and he was funny. I began working on a way to get him over to Atlanta and get him some screen time.

I learned of his death the day after it happened and it wrecked me, emotionally. Losing a brother is never easy. Losing a brother to su***de is the fu***ng worst.

I may not be able to put Josh in any of my films, but I can make him part of a film. So our Afghanistan war film The Cost of Living is not only dedicated to Josh but features a character who personifies Josh. Semper Fi brother. See you in Valhalla.

We've finished production on Episode 3 of our Star Citizen machinima web-series Nocturne. This episode will be 24.5 minutes long. It will be the last episode we render in 1920x1080, even though most of it was shot in 4K. It will also be the first to feature a new, animated intro. The file size will likely take a while to upload so we expect to have that uploaded in a few days.

Episodes 1 and 2 are on our YouTube channel.

Voice-over #CastingCall: we are looking for a Black male to take over VO for the character of Cheddar in our #machinima webseries Nocturne, set in the Star Citizen MMO. Because this is non-union, set in someone else's IP, fan-project, etc, this is an unpaid gig. We're just having some fun during COVID lockdowns. Message the page if interested, or tag friends.

[BWC Films] The Cost of Living Festival Short

Fun fact about The Cost of Living, our Short film about Afghanistan #veterans: the final scene at the Legion was mostly ad-libbed except for a handful of lines (the group leader, and three characters from the earlier part of the film). Aside from three actors, everyone in that scene is a veteran. Each speaking veteran was given little to no instruction so as to make the scene feel authentic. They were only told "talk about your tour(s) and what it was like reintegrating with the world."

There is a lot more footage that did not make it into the Short, for the sake of brevity. We are striving in 2021 to bring you much more.

Thanks to Eric Totel, Hwood Heard, and Rock Chasse for making this project happen. Special shout out to the #DrinkinBros community too. And last but not least specialest shoutest-out to Amanda Sigwart, Sharlene Bordonaro, and Rebecca Carter for letting me honour the legacy of Josh and Rob.
