I have *finally* started to watch The Big Bang Theory (yes I know, iI have my reasons for the late entry, shut up).
I have to know which one of you animals did this. I KNOW they are on my friends list. Which one of you did eye light on Penny’s b***s?
It’s not even subtle.
I am surrounded by perverts.
This is acceptable.
Hey everyone! Kyle here, it has been a while and we haven’t posted much, but so many things have happened!
-Riders on the Storm got picked up for distribution!
-Adventures in has been getting great play at several film festivals (or so I have been told)!
-GET GONE (a film we helped out on, not produced) was picked up and has its Hollywood premier on January 24th! It releases on Amazon the next day.
- Tinderbox Movie got the funding it needs to be made, and is currently in preproduction!
-Several other projects have finished and been released or worked on!
I am getting started on producing again. I think more than anything that is where I have the most to offer the community and industry, so I will be focusing my energy there. I have an informative youtube series I will be launching soon, and I am actually dipping my toe in the film production equipment realm. I have had a BUNCH of ideas, and want to share so hopefully everyone can get something from it.
Look forward to sharing everything with you all soon!
Something interesting to think about on your Thursday!
Anything for the shot...

“I too remember a time when I would turn on the TV and only see pale skin. I got teased and taunted about my night shaded skin. And my one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter skinned... My mother used to say to me, ‘You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you.’ And these words played and bothered me, I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant by saying that you can’t eat beauty is that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you.
What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul... We remember the beauty of her spirit even though the beauty of her body has faded away. And so I hope that my presence on your screens and in magazines may lead you, young girl, on a similar journey. That you will feel the validation for your beauty, but also get to the deeper business of feeling beautiful inside. There is no shade in that beauty.” -- Lupita Nyong'o
