Booyah!

Booyah! was written by our friend, Denver comic Chris Charpentier, originally conceived when he was 8. For us it has been a fun experiment. Like all of our films, a way to play with technique or try something new. We really took our time with the making of it, which from storyboard to color correction, took about a year. We spent a number of months recording foley with honorary Nix Bro Travis Funk in his recording studio. The process has been slow but creative, collaborative and fun. Filmmaking is not always something you can take your time with, so when you are allowed to you gotta enjoy it.

Rainbow Chasers takes 3rd place for Audience Favorite Award at Breck Film Fest!

Despite some issues with the projector during our screening, Rainbow Chasers tied for 3rd place for Audience Award at Breckenridge Film Fest! 3rd favorite out of 60+ films, we'll definitely take it!! The first tie in the Festival's 30 year history, apparently. We opened for the premiere of Ray Kurzweil's film Singularity Is Near, which was a treat for us. Thanks to everyone for all the support, the response to the film was overwhelmingly positive, in spite of the technical issues. We had an awesome weekend. Breckenridge is a gorgeous little town.

PechaKucha Night

This Tuesday we will be giving a presentation on Nix Bros Films at the 9th Denver Pecha Kucha Night. Never heard of Pecha Kucha? Read on.

From Wikipedia:

PechaKucha (ペチャクチャ^?), usually pronounced in three syllables as "pe-chak-cha", is the onomatopoeic Japanese word for the sound of conversation. The equivalent English term is "chit-chat".

From pecha-kucha.org:

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

Lund On Living

We shot these dramatized versions of a few of Denver Comedian Nathan Lund's jokes in late 2008 and had a butt load of fun with them. Didn't spend a dime.
