Our latest project is a feature doc on American dog breeding. Told from the perspective of an undercover private investigator, Underbelly examines the way we breed and buy dogs, prevailing cultural attitudes, and the attendant results.

If you are passionate about ending puppy mills and the needless euthanasia of hundreds of thousands of dogs every year, please reach out to us over at https://www.dox.tv/portfolio/underbelly
We need help getting this important story out in front of the public!

Underbelly is an investigative documentary exposing the concealed truths of America’s commercial dog breeding industry.

In the fall of 1978, the city of Houston was stricken with a novel epidemic that stands to this day as the most contagious outbreak ever recorded. With a population of just over 2 million, nearly everyone in Harris County became afflicted within 48 hours—no one had seen anything like it. Investigators would later trace the outbreak back to the Astrodome, originating on the same Monday night that Oilers star Earl Campbell famously rushed for three touchdowns to beat Don Shula’s Miami Dolphins. Fans were screaming, embracing, and foaming at the mouth, and the contagion quickly spilled out of the Dome and ripped through the city, eventually spreading across the continent and reaching locales as far-flung as New York City.

The afflicted were blinded to all but the color blue and driven mad with an insatiable itch. Scratching made it worse, and so it became known colloquially as "The Super Bowl Itch." Amidst all of this chaos, an unlikely hero named Bum Phillips emerged to lead the city through the challenge. He and his team had discovered that there was but one remedy - they called it "Victory."

Luv Ya, Bum! celebrates a legend whose unconventional style and huge heart forged an unbreakable bond between a team and its city. Join us at SXSW for the world premiere at the Paramount Theater on 3/13 at 12:30 pm, and catch the fever that changed Houston forever.

If you haven't had the chance to see Fader's Up: The John Aielli Experience, you've got 4 more opportunities to see it at everyone's favorite theater, the AFS Cinema: https://www.austinfilm.org/screening/faders-up/

You're probably thinking: "But Andrew, how's that? I know it played at SXSW and won an Audience Award, but I wasn't able to make those screenings. And then I heard about a weekend run at the AFS Cinema, but I wasn't fast enough and all of those dates sold out."

Well you're right about that. But every once in a while a movie gets made that makes people start to feel feelings again. And sometimes, if we're lucky, the word gets out, and there really is no choice but to extend the run and let more more people feel those feelings. What feelings? I'm talking about that feeling you felt when you first moved to Austin. Because whenever that was, John Aielli was on the air, vibrating through the town and saturating our cultural quilt with his deep appreciation, utter strangeness and, truly, his love.

This is what it's all about my friends. I hope you'll come see it this week, and if you do, I bet you'll cry. And if you've ever felt like this town has changed too much, or that the tech bros won, or whatever, come see this movie, let loose a few tears, relive the last 50 years of Austin weirdness, and fall right back in love with this place.

The late and much lamented longtime K*T DJ and personality John Aielli is profiled here in this new film that shines a light on his early life and scholarly personality. The filmmakers lovingly depict the man and his unique style of music curation and storytelling. A portrait of a wonderful person a...

A little 360 fun with Andrew Alden Miller and our main man John McKallip, shooting with NFL hopefuls for ESPN via our amigos at Texas Crew Productions.

We spent 26 days with Dave Chappelle and all we have to show for it is this video. Also a cool beanie and some fond memories. And some paid invoices. We're grateful is what we're saying.

Chappelle's Show is now streaming on Netflix (US)
