Lime Street Entertainment is beyond proud of Charley Rowan McCain receiving a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the JK Grapes Productions 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles title "Cupid's Treacherous Journey." She is the second actress to get an acting nomination for a Lime Street Entertainment distributed film. The first was Natalie D'Alacio Stafford Ccht for "Cloro Returns." Coincidentally, she is again nominated for the 4th year in a row (not including the Horror Comedy) in this category. They are now competing against each other. Thank you to the 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles judges for recognizing her performance and all the accents she had to do. We are proud of you Charley.

If you want to see her amazing performance, you can watch it a the Best of Screening on Wednesday September 10th at the Regal North Hollywood at 5pm. Hope to see you all there.

Now that I have the in the can, I thought I would share the poster I made for the new .street.entertainment film made for the called The "Good" Sister. This is a silent horror film made in black and white. Starring and , this is the first time in which the studio not only two child actors, but they are both also making their big screen debut (though they have theater acting experience).

Screenplay and myself.
Producer, DP, Editor, Audio Mixer and Team Leader .matthew.lime.street

This not makes her our 10th female director, but also our youngest director we ever had. This is also the first silent film we ever made, though there is audio with music and sound effects, there is no spoken dialogue on the screen (only subtitles), which meant the camera, sound effects, music, and the actors facial expressions and emotions have to tell the story. It was challenging to pull off, but we managed to do it. There are pros to this as we didn't have to worry about background noise, and no syncing either. Because I this, I got this film done in record time, turning it in at 8:30 am today (the fastest I ever finished a 48 Hour Film Project, and this includes the ). This is also more risky territory for Lime Street as it departs from our tongue and cheek feel good films and decided to go darker and more mean spirited. We also made the film entirely in Black and White for the first time (though Rose and Alexander and Heme were made in Black and White, they both had color elements), which gives it a French New Wave look. I am proud of the results and these two actresses were a lot of fun to work with.
Here is the poster which too has a very Old School look. If you want to see this bold film, it is playing at the AMC Mission Valley 20 on Tuesday September 9th at 6:30 pm. I will be making a trailer soon.

Here are two posters that were made for the new JK Grapes Productions Los Angeles 48 Hour Film Project "Cupid's Treacherous Journey." One is a playful playful poster, and one is more cinematic, both designed by Jeremy Turkin. Lime Street Entertainment is the distributor on this film as I was the executive producer, editor, and sound mixer on the project. I can say that this project exceeded my expectations. These child actors are so talented. Big thanks to our director Azwan for guiding these child actors and guiding me through the editing process, and putting finishing touches on the sound effect, music and coloring. I am proud of the project and can't wait to share it. But in order to see this project, it will have it's premiere at the Regal North Hollywood on Tuesday at 5:30 pm. You can buy tickets here, remember, we are in group C. Hope to see you all there.

With today being the beginning of Women's History Month, I decided to make a video paying tribute to all the Female Actresses that have appeared in a Lime Street Entertainment projects. Since my last video, there has been such a tremendous growth of female talent for the studio that I had to make an updated video with the inclusion of SAG actresses for the first time. This only includes Lime Street produced films, so films like Judge of Character and Beyond Dating are not included in this montage. Enjoy this montage I made of all the talented female actresses and continuing the studio's 35th Anniversary.

With the 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles Best of Screening past, I am so ecstatic that Eileen Chase won the Woman Filmmaker of the Year award for her film "Call for Help." When her named got called, I cheered loudly. This is big news for Lime Street Entertainment as well because last year, when I did the 48 Hour Film Project - San Diego, Eileen Chase was the lead actress and wrote most of the screenplay for our film "Road to Romance." It was fun working with her, and Ashley Cordelia (who also directed, co-produced, and helped write) and Ayla Feren loved working in her as well (in fact, Ayla had a brief role in the 48 Hour Film "Relapse" in which Eileen produced). This film was shot in only 20 takes, and many of the lines were ad libbed (including Eileen's thanks for existing line, which got huge laughs in the theater). In celebration of Eileen Chase's victory, I now present you "Road to Romance."

This Romantic Comedy was made for the 48 Hour Film Project San Diego. This is Lime Street Entertainment's and Schmitt Films first entry to that competition....

Well, with the 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles coming in two days, I was put into group G, the same group as Uncle Mikki Productions, lead by Alec Wry, who I was classmates with at Cypress College in the Cypress College Media Arts Design department taught by Ian Holmes. It is such a coincidence that we were both put in the same screening group. You think that is a connection, wait until you hear this Kevin Bacon connection. I worked with Uncle Mikki Productions on two shorts and one feature. Nicole Murray, an Uncle Mikki Alumni, appeared in Open House for Damn Good Team, also in our screening group. Her best friend Asia Lynn Pitts appeared with her many times, and Asia starred in directed in the film "Tick Tock" for which I was an assistant editor for. It doesn't stop there, Michael Nelson, who appeared in Open House, had a cameo role in Unsubscribed produced by Uncle Mikki, for which I had a cameo as well. Quite a connection huh? Anyway, happy filming everyone.

I would like to share a film that the Lime Street Studio help on.

'Call Out' is an experimental short film about domestic violence loosely based on a true story. The film explores how trauma can follow you after the event and how a victim may even gaslight themselves and wonder what they did wrong to put themselves in that position in the first place. Opening up to someone may be the first step in healing.

Written and directed by Jessica May Jensen (who also directed the Lime Street Film 'A Full Spectrum Celebration') and starring Nichola Fynn and Anthony Gonzales.

Lime Street help with the sound mix on this film. Enjoy the movie.

A quick poster I made for the new Lime Street Entertainment movie called "You Did This to Yourself." Made for the Collaboration Filmmakers Challenge. Starring Nneka Nne, Katie Oliver (last year's Best Actress Runner Up), Louise Harris, Stephanie Valdez Tobias and Lia Etomi (who also directed the film), this film tells of the story of 4 women who go to group therapy to cope with their lost freedom. Written by Brian Groh and produced (along with all other crew positions) by yours truly. It was a blast working with all these talented actresses. Though the editing was not a breeze cause due to the hollow environment we shot in, it caused headaches in the sound department, but don't worry, I fixed it the best I could to get this to a presentable form. It makes history though as it is not only the first Lime Street film to have a lead character be African American, but it is also the first Lime Street film to be directed by an African American. You should be able to see this film soon on the CFC Youtube page.
