Hello fellow MN Film Friends! If you have a need for any upcoming or current production to clothe the crew, I’ve created a few T’s that would go great on any set! They make fun gifts too for your hard working team. Let me know if you need a personalized or specific shirt made, I got you. There are many options for shirts both men’s and women’s fit, plus stickers, pins, mugs and Masks!

Good luck on your projects, current and future!!

Three fun and very different films that we had the pleasure to work on with some amazing people this year for the Z-Fest Film Festival. Including the funny peeps at Atomic Mills who produced 'That Streaming Life' and 'Time to do the Dishes'. And the fairly new team of Ambigram Pictures who created their 1st ZFest short, 'Worst in Show'. We will post details for premieres soon!

Egon Spengler:
I blame myself.

Peter Venkman:
So do I.

Ray Stantz:
Well, no sense in worrying about it now.

Peter Venkman:
Why worry? Each one of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Ray Stantz:
Yep. Well, let's get ready. Switch me on.
