This morning we were featured on KTRK, Kyrgyz National Television to promote the filming of our travel docu-series, No Expectations which features our co-hosts Dr. House and Meerim Kamchybekova. We were joined by our amazing local producer, Suium Sulaimanova and our director, Alexander Beasley who made a few brief behind-the-scenes appearances as he continued filming for the docu-series. Production has been in full swing since the end of August and will continue into mid-October. There's been so many incredible things happening simultaneously that we haven't had the opportunity to share them all, but we're fortunate enough now to be able to share this momentous occasion. Stay tuned for more updates! 📺

Our BIG announcement 📢

Join us on our latest adventure as we travel to Kyrgyzstan to film season one of our new travel series, No Expectations!

The co-hosted travel mini-series features our main talent, Dr. Nate House and a local host for each path-less-traveled destination.

No Expectations’s emphasis on adventure and exploration allows viewers to experience the local culture and landscapes of exotic destinations vicariously through its co-hosts and inspire future explorers.

Kyrgyzstan, our first season destination, is a mountainous Central Asian country with breathtaking nature and a rich nomadic culture which is largely unknown to much of the world. Each season will highlight hands-on experiences in cuisine, culture, music, nature, history, art, sport, and day-to-day life, but content more specific to Kyrgyzstan include its horse culture, eagle hunting, sheep herding, and traditional yurt life.

We can’t tell you how excited we are for you to join us! 🌏✈️

So what is b-roll anyway? You may have heard the term thrown around, but essentially b-roll is supplemental footage that helps illustrate your narrative often as cutaway shots from a main shot. Our pilot episode of our docuseries, “The Flavor Temptress” features some of the most delicious b-roll imaginable. You won’t want to miss it — stay tuned! And follow .film for the latest updates.

Happy ! Not quite as alliterative as , but hey! 🦄

Today we’re showing off our A camera rig which we’ve been using to shoot our pilot episode, “The Flavor Temptress” for our docuseries.

The Canon C500 is a 4K approved cinema camera. And since we’ve been using the same specifications and best practices Netflix uses for its original series, you know the quality is top notch!

Can’t wait to share more next week as we dive deeper into the tech and the behind the scenes. Stay tuned!

We were hacked! 👾

After rebuilding our site not once, but twice, we’ve finally identified the ‘remote code ex*****on vulnerability’ that allowed server wide access to the assailant and have secured all of our sites.

It was a hard lesson to learn, but we’re using the opportunity to reassess our online security and schedule more regular backups so we can confront any future attacks!

What is the Konami code and why was it the inspiration for naming our production company?

↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → Ⓑ Ⓐ SELECT START

The Konami Code was used as a cheat code in video games as far back as 1985. Having grown up in a world of video games, Select Start is a nod to that era. And who doesn’t love an extra 30 lives?
