🚨 Streaming Alert! 🚨

This Sunday, July 20th at 9PM ET / 6PM PT, join for an unforgettable journey through the Mile High City in a brand-new episode of Leguizamo Does America on Peacock! 🎭🌮🍫

From stepping into the ring for a wild Lucha Libre debut, to devouring the best carnitas of his life at a garage pop-up, this episode is packed with flavor, culture, and heart. John also visits a local dispensary, learns from a chocolate maker preserving ancient techniques, and ends with a powerful Danza Mexika ritual for a moment that pulses with the spirit of ancestral tradition.

Huge shout out to our very own Mustafa Bhagat ( ), who brought his talents to this latest Denver episode! It’s an honor to be part of a series that celebrates so many vibrant stories across America. 🎬 (And the journey doesn’t stop here! You can stream Seasons 1 & 2 now on and experience the full story!)

We recently visited The Stanley Hotel — the iconic site where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining, right from the balcony in our photo (Room 217, not 237!). 👻

Beyond its eerie legacy, we couldn’t help but notice that the Stanley Film Festival’s logo looks strikingly like our own logo, just rotated. While we’re in the process of updating our branding, the parallel felt like a perfect, if slightly haunted, coincidence.

Some places just leave a mark — on film and beyond. 🎬

A huge shoutout to our very own Mustafa Bhagat for his incredible work editing an episode of Leguizamo Does America! 💥 Watch every Sunday on MSNBC as John Leguizamo continues his powerful journey spotlighting Latino stories across the country. This IS America, people! 🇺🇸 🎞️

We are proud to have finished editing "The Nature of Nature," our film made in collaboration with Laura Heady of the Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell University, which celebrates the biodiversity, or variety of life, in the unique Hudson River Estuary. The Hudson Valley is only 13% of New York State, but 85% of the state's animal, insect, fish and bird species can be found right here. Biodiversity provides us clean air, water, healthy soil - basically everything we humans need to survive, and whether or not we understand those connections, protecting one means protecting all. Coming to film festivals and theaters this fall! Thanks to photographer Fred McCagg and Naoko Saito for this title sequence. Directed by Laura deNey (), produced by Laura Heady 🌾🦦🎥

WELCOME TO HOLLYWOODSTOCK! Did you know New York's Hudson Valley now has some of the best film tax incentives (up to 55% CASH BACK) in the country? Some of our favorite shows - SEVERANCE, POKER FACE, FOUR SEASONS - are filming here, and Ulster County (where we are located) provides an extra 10% on production and post, the perfect place for indie film production and commercials (even low cost ones!). Some of the world's best film talent has moved here in recent years - plus strawberries are in season and the swimming holes await. Call us to talk about how Flicker and our talented upstate community can work with you on your next production.
