While you're making some eye contact with several of our wonderful actors, don't forget to leave a rating and review on IMDb or Letterboxd, and stay tuned for more upcoming opportunities to see our latest feature, Cast & Crew!

Thanks to the for the shout-out during your coverage of this year's ! Not sure why Cast & Crew keeps getting categorized as a comedy when it's clearly been a horror movie this whole time!

This Cast & Crew-sday, we are honored to pay tribute to the most innovative and memorable invention of our entire seven year shoot: COLD TENT!

Filming one of our last big scenes in a giant West Philly warehouse space during the hellish depths of a hotter than average July, we arrived to find that the massive room was equipped with an A/C unit fit to cool a walk-in closet. Knowing this would be useless in a space so large, instead of trying to force the unit to cool the whole room, our brilliant cast saw fit to use some nearby gym mats and furniture to make the room around the unit smaller...and, thus, COLD TENT WAS BORN!

A monument to man's adaptability in the face of adversity, as well as the only refuge in an otherwise sweltering environment, COLD TENT will forver live on in our hearts and memories as an oasis of friendship and crisp, frosty air.

Thank you, Cold Tent.

Thanks to everyone who came out to watch Cast & Crew and to the enthusiastic people at who made it a wonderful experience!
