The Branch

Enjoy our short comedy The Branch!

Wend experiences his first day on the job at the public library. While it's not always easy, he finds it might be the best job he ever had.

We're still kicking! Till Morning, though, mutated is still alive! Our short, The Branch, is awaiting permission from our filming location and a viewing party for an online release. Who knew these things take time? Thanks for sticking around!

This seems relevant

You've gotta love a company with a sense of humor.

I swear we are still alive. We're just in hiding until we buy a drone.

26/05/2017

Everything is still in post-production. We haven't forgotten about all of you and your support! Please stick around! Till Morning is our first feature and all those books we read weren't kidding... making a feature is hard.

The Branch short is almost there. We have a very talented musician working on some original music and after that all we have to do is schedule a viewing and then we'll release it on the web.

We also have a documentary that we are working on, but we knew that it was going to take length due to updating interviews.

Thanks for staying with us!

The Branch

We're hoping Rachel's contacts are enough to keep Supernatural from suing us. It was another great day of filmmaking fun. Look for a premiere in 6-8 weeks! Stay tuned for more pictures as we wind down the shoot.

Documentary looking to interview women

New Year, new project. We're still working on the feature and hope to have news on "Till Morning" soon. However, know that we are hard at work on another project. We refuse to be still.

Hello, 2017!

Now that Cookeville resident Chris Qualls and former Cookevillian Rachel Cass Phelps have wrapped up filming for their first movie through their film company, Rejoinder Films, they are setting their sights on a different type …

What do we have in the works? Stuff and things, my friends, stuff and things. I've promised a teaser and hopefully we will indeed have that teaser soon. It's taking a while because naturally, we have started working on another project. Stuff and things.

To celebrate this special day, this Hallow's Eve... we give you an advance preview of one of our ghosts, Bobby Yaga. (aka Paul Simmons)

Carolyn Corley, such a sport. We couldn't have had a better leading lady!

Another talent to add to the Till Morning collection!

Marlena Haven, a diversely talented actor, musician, and writer who has appeared in numerous television shows, commercials and on the stage. Her most notable role - that of Harriet Tubman in the touring show, "OH FREEDOM!" solidified her love of acting. Currently, Marlena is writing her one-woman show, "Homeless In A Limo" and singing with her band HoniBae.

Sound guys should learn about lighting. That way they wouldn't sit around so much. Right?

26/09/2016

Wrapped a great weekend! Sure we're making a film, but it wouldn't be as great if we didn't have such selfless cast and crew! They really put themselves out. We're under blackout conditions for 90% of the film. That means no AC, no lights. So, we're asking for some dedication and sweat. We're getting both. Thanks to My'Chyl Purr and also a shout out to our two new PAs who joined the movie last weekend.

The Art of the Perfect Grilled Cheese (Plus 20 Variations to Shake Things Up)

This post will all make sense when you watch the movie...

Until that day why not enjoy a grilled cheese!?

A grilled cheese is a grilled cheese, right? I mean, it's the first meal that most of us learn how to cook at home by ourselves. It's the perfect midnight snack or soup-dipper. It's great for kids but is never turned down by an adult. It's salty, gooey, crisp, buttery, and comforting in all the righ...

We are pleased to have rounded out our cast with My'Chyl Purr!

There once was a man not from Nantucket
But somewhere near just as repugnant….

My’Chyl Purr started performing at the early age of 5. He studied theatre performance at Maryville College and the University of Tennessee where he was trained in both Stanislavki’s System and Strasberg’s m**hod. He has studied several types of dance including ballet, street and interpretive.

Never one to follow convention, My’Chyl started doing drag when he was 19. He has won a multitude of titles and many accolades in the business. He performs his own blend of aesthetics ranging from tear jerker to dance to comedy.

My’Chyl is the ultimate character actor. He has captured the more unusual roles in theatre, playing an epileptic 12-year-old to an ageless witch doctor and everything in between. He has also appeared in several crime reenactment shows where he excelled in the seedier roles such as a m**h dealer, the “John” paying for s*x, a peeping tom and the Mystery Killer in “JonBenet: An American Murder."

It seems most of our friends are caught up in Dragon Con excitement. Don't mind us. We will just be staying in Knoxville, puttering around the house and, well, you know fiming a movie.

An old friend of mine (Chris) designed a beautiful original piece to use for our posters and promo covers. Thank you Mike Norton! I can hardly wait to show it off, but we are still working on how we want the names and info to appear... savor the anticipation.

Meanwhile, check out Mike's award winning Battlepug- The Web Comic or his work on the comic book, Revival.
