Hey, check out this trailer for a feature length film shot on almost no budget! Written and Directed by Trey Cartwright. Carlos LaRotta plays a stand up comedian in one scene. Music! Jokes! East Texas Flavor!
I made this little promo bumper spot thing. Space trash! That’s one of the prop medium format cameras from the studio where we shot the moon landing. That was tough, had to pump all the air out of the room. B.O.F. Bumper from birds-on-fire films on Vimeo.
Friday May 20, 2011, was National Bike to Work day. Since I freelance, I don’t really “commute” but I do try to ride my bike every time I have to go into downtown Austin. Also, all the local bike shops, coffee shops and other local biz were hooking cyclists up with a li’l free continental [...]
