The Legend

I enjoy this. By Nix bros' friend JT Gurzi.

Rainbow Chasers Deleted Scenes

Rainbow Chasers is a collaborative project that I worked on last fall and winter, along with the fine Honest Brothers and local filmmaker Ben Jones. It follows 3 daring men who fight passionately for their cause despite its being frequently ridiculed and not taken seriously. The mockumentary also features the talents of Denver comics Nathan Lund, Chris Charpentier and Andrew Smyczek. Shot mostly using improvisation, the short episodes left out a lot of great moments. Enjoy a few of them (below), and stop by rainbowchasers.net for a few minutes to watch all 9 episodes. Also look forward to a short film, which contains some more new footage, coming soon.

Thomas Barndt

Another filmmaker from Las Vegas who's work I really enjoy. I consider us lucky to have had our films shown along side his at CineVegas and DSFF. This one, The Walking Ink, is a fitting first exposure to Thomas Barndt's work.

Roger Erik Tinch

Nix bros' friend Roger Erik Tinch is a filmmaker and graphic designer from Las Vegas. Below are two of our favorites of his great films. The first, Technological Science, is hilarious and splendidly lo-fi. We collaborated on the second, Better Masque, in Summer 2005. Roger's cinematography and direction is distinct and unique, and it was fun working with him. In fact, all of his work is really great. Spend 15 minutes watching these films, then check out his website.

The Comedy of Nathan Lund

We recently shot a comedy show featuring 9 comics, including our good friend Nathan Lund at the historic Oriental Theatre. Below is his isolated set.
