Lime Street Entertainment

I would like to share a film that the Lime Street Studio help on.

'Call Out' is an experimental short film about domestic violence loosely based on a true story. The film explores how trauma can follow you after the event and how a victim may even gaslight themselves and wonder what they did wrong to put themselves in that position in the first place. Opening up to someone may be the first step in healing.

Written and directed by Jessica May Jensen (who also directed the Lime Street Film 'A Full Spectrum Celebration') and starring Nichola Fynn and Anthony Gonzales.

Lime Street help with the sound mix on this film. Enjoy the movie.

A quick poster I made for the new Lime Street Entertainment movie called "You Did This to Yourself." Made for the Collaboration Filmmakers Challenge. Starring Nneka Nne, Katie Oliver (last year's Best Actress Runner Up), Louise Harris, Stephanie Valdez Tobias and Lia Etomi (who also directed the film), this film tells of the story of 4 women who go to group therapy to cope with their lost freedom. Written by Brian Groh and produced (along with all other crew positions) by yours truly. It was a blast working with all these talented actresses. Though the editing was not a breeze cause due to the hollow environment we shot in, it caused headaches in the sound department, but don't worry, I fixed it the best I could to get this to a presentable form. It makes history though as it is not only the first Lime Street film to have a lead character be African American, but it is also the first Lime Street film to be directed by an African American. You should be able to see this film soon on the CFC Youtube page.

It is done. A Full Spectrum Celebration made for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge is in the can and it ready for it's public showing on Saturday.

Director: Jessica May Jensen
Producer: Jessica May Jensen and Me.
Screenplay: Natalie D'Alacio Stafford
Story: Jessica May Jensen
Starring: Nichola Fynn Jessica May Jensen and her son Rowan, and Scott Matthew

I did all other crew positions, including Director of Photography, Editing, Sound, and Assistant Director. How I did this is that Jessica and I never share the screen, so she did some camera and sound duty when I was on screen.

This buddy comedy tells the story of an eager Aunt who wants to help set up her Autistic nephew's birthday party without knowing his sensitivities.

Full of heart and humor, I can't wait for all to see this on the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge page starting on Saturday.

Thanks to Jessica May Jensen for directing and acting in this picture, after being in the same screening group twice for the 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles. She becomes our 6th female director in the studios history. Thanks to Nichola Fynn for taking time to act in this project, make her the first SAG-AFTRA actress to act in a Lime Street Project. Also thanks to Natalie D'Alacio Stafford for taking time to help write the screenplay, in spite of being on another project also made for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge.

2023 would be a very eventful year for the Lime Street Entertainment studio. 3 short films were produced and released to various Festivals. The first was Tigerlily's Cafe. This film was made for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. This film was not only Tigerlilys ( the daughter of Ashley Cordelia) first speaking role, but it was also the first Lime Street film to use Dolby noise reduction by using a program called DDI Codec. The second film I made was Road to Romance. This film was made for the 48 Hour Film Project - San Diego. Like Tigerlily's Cafe, it was a collaboration with Schmitt Films, and was directed by Ashley Cordelia. She along with costars Eileen Chase and Ayla Feren all wrote the screenplay. Cordelia also did all the music tracks for the film. Our third film is Cloro Returns. Made for the 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles, this is our most successful film to date. Made in collaboration with Starseed Productions, this is the first Lime Street produced film to make the Best Of Los Angeles Award's Screening & Ceremony. Nominated for 6 awards, including Best Actress, Women in Film/Video, Entertainment & the Arts, and Best Sound (our biggest achievement as it is our most successful use of the Dolby system). Natalie D'Alacio Stafford won best actress at the JORJEZIAN FILM FESTIVAL, thanks to Maria Jorjezian, and got further nominations from two other festivals. These three films make it our most productive year, and this does not include Tick Tock, which was made for the Collaboration Filmmakers Challenge by Asia Lynn Pitts and Nika Khitrova, for which I helped edit, and also not including Space Y, which was made by Cultural Detritus by Carl Hansen, for which I only acted in (and also written and starring Natalie D'Alacio). What will 2024 bring? Well, we plan to do all these festivals again and more. And Natalie D'Alacio and her husband Kevin Stafford will be attached to at least one of these projects. Anyway, have a Happy New Year.

This video is a Year in Review of the 3 major films Lime Street Entertainment made in the year 2023. The video includes descriptions of the three films we m...

Hi Fellow Filmmakers. With the Horror Comedy Project just a month away, here is a sound tip on how to make your films sound better. I hope all of the filmmakers competing consider using this program for their film like I did for 3 projects I did this past year.

This is just a quick demonstration and sound mixing tips I like to share to all my fellow filmmakers and 48 Hour Film Project Filmmakers on how to make your films sound better. For the past 3 Lime Street Entertainment films, I used a Noise Reduction Program called DDI Codec.

DDi Codec is a precise digital equivalent of the classical Dolby-B/C noise reduction system for analog audio tape. It is the world's first dedicated software capable of decoding or encoding Dolby-C formatted audio in digital domain, along with full backward compatibility to Dolby-B. Powered by the proprietary DSP engine, the decoding/encoding can be performed in realtime, which allows instant monitoring and control of quality.

Here is the website to download their program to your computer. It is only $15.99
http://www.anaxwaves.com/DDiCodec/

I used this noise reduction program on my last 3 Lime Street Films.

Tigerlily's Cafe
Road to Romance
and most successfully in Cloro Returns

Which is why all 3 of these films were released in Dolby Stereo (not to be confused with Dolby Stereo). In fact, Cloro Returns even got nominated for Best Sound Design in last summer's 48 Hour Film Project Best of Los Angeles Awards and Ceremony.

Please forgive the bad camera work, as nobody was operating the camera and nobody was operating the camera, so no wonder why I look out of focus. But don't pay attention to the bad camera work. Instead, listen to how analog sound in films is better than digital sound, and why DDI Codec really works for great noise reduction while keeping the pitch and the frequency of my voice exactly the same. I hope your Ears enjoy this demo video.

What a memorable event at the Best of 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles Screening and Awards Ceremony. "Cloro Returns" is the first time a Lime Street film has ever been represented at the Best of Screening, so I received this certificate for being in the Best of Screening. The film was blessed with 6 nominations from the judges. This is double the nominations the first Cloro film got last year (which had only 3).

We got nominated for
Best Actress - Natalie D'Alacio Stafford
Woman filmmaker - Natalie D'Alacio Stafford
Best Use of the Line
Best Choreographer
Best Song - The Last Bangers by Kevin Stafford
and one I was most proud of...Best Sound - Yours truly.

I am so proud to have been nominated for Best Sound because it shows the judges recognized my innovative use of Dolby Noise reduction and a big return for Analog Dolby Stereo Sound (as opposed to the flat Dolby Digital sound used today) in which I feel has more dynamic and sounds more full. This was made possible by using DDI Codec. For those who are doing the Horror Comedy Project, I highly using this noise reduction program, it will make your film sound better.

Huge thanks to Michael and Leanne Westphal for running this festival. Also big thanks to Natalie D'Alacio Stafford for bringing this film to life and helping me get to the Best of with her writing and acting talent. I am also announcing that this will be my last 48 Hour Film Project as a team lead. I will still continue to team up with other teams and be involved with the 48. I will be available to lend a helping hand for this Horror Comedy edition in 2 months. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners. Hope to see you all in a few months.

And you thought we couldn't get even better news, Natalie D'Alacio has been selected as a nominee for Woman Filmmaker of the Year by Women In Film. This marks the first time in 5 tries that Lime Street Entertainment finally won over Women in Film. Natalie D'Alacio put her heart and soul into this picture so her nomination is well deserved. Congratulations to all the Fabulous Film Filmmakers. Big thanks to 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles for holding this festival and big thanks to for recognizing once again (she was nominated last year as well). Hope to see you all at the Best of Screening this Sunday.

It was 4 years ago I made a film for the 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles . This year, for the first time in studio history, one of our films we made has made the Best of Award's Screening and Ceremony. This is the first time a Lime Street lead film has made the Best of Screening (not counting Judge of Character in which we helped on). Natalie D'Alacio Stafford and her Cloro character made that possible. Since meeting you and watching the original Cloro film last year, I knew I wanted to work with you. Lime Street Entertainment is always striving for personality, and Cloro is full of personality. Being the smart studio we are, we knew we couldn't make the same film and expect the judges to vote for you again. We needed to up our game, we needed more stakes, we needed more heart, more humor, more action, and more character journey and story. Once you wrote the script, I knew we had something special thanks to an improved story and character journey, and thanks to Sebastian Karantonis directing and camera work, he made something for cinematic than we expected. I knew I had a big challenge when editing this film, cause I knew that one wrong move could ruin the picture. But thankfully, thanks to you coming to my house and guiding me through the edit changes, this is my magnum opus in terms of editing, and thanks to the magic of Dolby Sound, we turn in something that even feels more like a big screen event than the original film. The judges and crowd saw it, and they agreed that we tried harder than we should have for a film called "Cloro Returns." I look forward to see which awards we could get for this project. This was the most fun but most challenging project I ever worked on. Thanks for joining my team. BTW, the fixed version with fixed credits (with your double credit glitch fixed and removed in place of more proper credits) was accepted and the locations and Starseed Productions will now get the proper credit for the final screening. Hope to see all of you there.

If you thought the news could not get any better for Lime Street Entertainment, here is more exciting news. Last week, our film Cloro Returns got the news that it made the Best of Screening and Ceremony. This marks the first time a Lime Street produced film ever got into the Best of Screening. If that is not news enough, we just got the word that our lead actress got nominated for Best Actress. This marks the first time a 48 Actress got nominated twice for playing the same role. Big thanks to Cloro for helping make this film extra special. This will one fun night. More nominations are sure to come. Congratulations Natalie, you deserve this nomination for playing such a fun character.

Well, Lime Street Entertainment really has something extra special for you this year at the Los Angeles 48 Hour Film Project. Already being hailed by the few that saw an advance showing so far as being the best and funniest Lime Street Film ever produced. This is Cloro Returns. It is a spinoff to the original Cloro film, not a direct sequel as the story is completely different. Natalie D'Alacio really knocked it out of the park this time, giving an even better performance than last time. We really upped our game, and you do not want to miss the premiere. You can see it on Friday, August 18th at the Regal LA Live at 7pm. Hope to see ju are there.

With just over a month before the 48 Hour Film Project Los Angeles, I thought I like to a film from one of last year's films "Cloro." This was one of my favorite films at the Festival last year because of the hilarious character portrayed by Natalie D'Alacio. Because of this, we decided to team up for this year's 48 Hour Film Project Los Angeles in August, with her attached as Director, Writer and Lead Actress. Could the Cloro Character come back this year in the Lime Street Universe. You just have to wait and see. In the meantime, enjoy this Original Cloro.

Last Night's 48 Hour Film Project - Los Angeles Best of Screening was an amazing experience. We didn't win the big prize, but we got showered with praise with nominations in the Key Categories, coming home with One Award for Best Original Song Runner Up. This proves that the judges thought we were in the top ten or top 5 in the most important categories. This is a big step forward for Lime Street Entertainment as not did we win over the judges, but it also boosted the acting reel of yours truly, as other teams want me on their group for future project. This is not the end of it's run. Carl Hansen of Cultural Detritus will continue to circuit this film to film festivals, especially in ones aimed for disabled groups. Thanks to Leanne Westphal for this wonderful festival, and a big thanks to Michelle Lewitt for the acting nomination and I will continue to boost my acting reel. I have a big enough film reel as editor and producer, but not enough as an actor. I still need more. Now that the 48 Hour Film Project has concluded, I would like to lobby for the 48 Hour Film Project to start an Orange County edition. I got plenty of people to sign the petition and I would love to be the festival director of that one. I just have to get Mark Ruppert's approval. This was a such a wonderful experience, especially being on the big screen. See you all again soon.

I am beyond excited that I have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the Cultural Detritus and Lime Street Entertainment film "Judge of Character.
