Celebration of the Stache

The 8th biannual World Beard and Moustache Championships takes place this week in Anchorage, Alaska, showcasing some of the worlds' most elaborate facial hair in a one-day event that draws international crowds, press and smirks. Kick ass, Beard Team USA!

In celebration, please enjoy Mustache Melodrama, the very first Nix brothers short film. It was made for a production class in early 2005 and was loosely based on the event, held in Berlin that year.

Vegas in 500 Words

Frequent Nix brothers collaborator Walker Rose just finished this awesome installment for matadorlife.com's regular article, "My Hometown in 500 Words" on being from Las Vegas, NV. From the article:
Driving across the long, barren stretches of highway through the Mojave Desert, I get this bittersweet feeling of coming home after a long time of being away. I see the light rising up—the hellish illuminations of Las Vegas—a city cradled by mountains on all sides; it looks like a smoldering fire pit, or the mouth of a volcano ready to blow itself wide open.

Nothing To Sneeze At

We made this 16mm film at Colorado Film School 2 years ago, in Spring 2007. Our good friend Doug Ecks from Los Angeles flew out to Denver to act in it. The music is used with permission from the former band More Dogs of Baltimore (iTunes link). The film was an official selection of the 2008 Dam Short Film Festival. Enjoy!

Colfax Avenue

Watch this music video we just made. The song is by our favorite collaborator Walker Rose. We used all practical lighting for this one, kept it simple and handheld for a raw Colfax Ave kind of look. Sexy.
Cost: $0.00.
