Things have been pretty scarce around these parts as of late, so I decided I'd stop back by ol' KREJ central and give an update on what we've been up to these past few months. It may seem like we haven't done much lately, but there's been a lot going on.
First of all, we've been hitting up all the film races around. On all of these, we've been working together with our buddies from OMG (Ogden Media Group) under the banner Third Place Productions. The name comes from our first race, the 24 Hour Film Race, where we placed 3rd in the audience vote. We also took the awards for Best Costume and Best Makeup. That film was entitled "Better Late Than Never" and can be viewed here:
After that we participated in the 48 Hour Film Race, where our film marked the world debut of my favorite character that I've ever played, Jedidiah Crenshaw. You can see "Matthers & Johnson: Southern Heat," our attempt at parodying cheesy crime procedurals, here:
And finally, we most recently competed in the 100 Hour Film Race, in which we placed in the Top Twenty!! In this festival, this is considered an award, and while top 20 might not sound all that amazing, I'm taking it dammit. There's still time to vote to help us win the audience award, so if you would be so kind, please go here and vote for our film, "Suffolk County Blues" by Third Place Productions:

And the film itself can be checked out right here:
Along with all the Film Race fun, were also really, really, REALLY close to finalizing last year's summer project, "Of Rats and Men." I know we've been crying wolf on this one for a little while now, but it's coming. We've just had alot of compositing/sound/post/technical bullshit work to do. We're also hoping to put "Tim and Katie: A Nice Little Love Story with Zombies," our zombie "feature," up here soon as well. In case you don't know or forgot what ORAM or T&K is, check out the trailers for both below:
And if all of this isn't enough for you, stay tuned. We're working on something pretty great right now. I can't wait until you guys get to see it. It's really exciting. If you knew what it was, you'd be really excited too. Way more excited than you are right now. It's ok. Buck Up. Keep a stiff upper lip. It's coming. Relax. RELAX! It's coming. Just be patient. Shit!
I really would like to update this blog more, and I'll try my best to, but if you'd like, you can friend me on Facebook (facebook.com/jeffgrantz) where updates happen a little more regularly.
Peace,
