  • July 5, 2008- Mike Einziger's "End.>Vacuum"
    Recently, I had the pleasure of being invited to Los Angeles to conduct an interview
    with     Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger on the subject of his upcoming orchestral side
    project "    End.>Vacuum" which is set to debut at UCLA in August.

    For the whole story behind the trip... click here. Or you can check out both installments
    of the interview below.

  • June 23, 2008- The Andrew and Matt Show
    It has always been a proud Mister Films tradition to issue some kind of over-blown and over-stated announcement at the start of a new project. This time, however, it's more of a little teaser... to be followed by the over-statement later.

    Click here to check out a slideshow of photos by Ran An, taken on the set of our new series of comedy short films. "    The Andrew and Matt Show" is an online, scripted series chronicling two best friends who set out to make an online scripted comedy series called "The Matt and Andrew Show". Confused? Good.

    Production runs through August. More info to come.

  • May 8, 2008- It's Gonna Be a Great Day, SA
    Recently, some classmates and I volunteered to take a peek behind the scenes of live broadcast television. Four of us took on the project of shooting, editing and producing a behind the scenes segment for local San Antonio morning show Great Day, SA.

    There was a day of observing, a day of shooting and three weeks of editing to turn four hours of stock into 3 minutes of glory.

    So, after all was said and done, we were invited to appear on the show to present the segment on air. Check out our interview segment featuring the actual piece below...

    There's also a blog, but it just reiterates everything I just wrote.


     

  • April 11, 2008- Spin 6 Turns 5
    Yes, yes it's been a while but rest assured- stuff is coming.
    In the meantime, we're here to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our second full length feature- Spin 6. To commemorate the occasion, we'd also like to announce that the long in the making     Spin 6: Deluxe Edition DVD will finally see the light of day this summer. For a nostalgic look back, including a peek at everything to be included on the deluxe set... click to your hearts content.

    And as an added bonus- here's an abridged version of the 12 minute outtake reel created especially for the 5th anniversary.
    Ah, memories.



     

  • November 10, 2007- Thanks for all the Fish
    Well, voting for the 2007 Insomnia Film Festival has officially closed and now all we can do is wait and hope that our little Melody has a chance in hell. Either way, a great big thanks is owed to many of our friends. First off, Robin An and Tim Simpson for posting our info on their respective websites. The Austin Film Society for including us in their weekly announcements. To Sarah Palisi for donating her talents to some kick-ass poster art and all the countless others who were nice enough to join us in the massive internet promotional campaign.

    And, of course, an equally big thanks to everyone who voted for, liked or just plain watched the flick.

    Apple announces not only the top 25 videos but also the winners on November 20th.

  • October 21, 2007- Melody @ The 2007 Insomnia Film Festival
    Today we welcome into the Mister Films repertoire the brand new short Melody. And surprise!... it was made for a contest. Apple's annual 24 Hour Film Festival to be exact. Last Saturday at 8am CST, our team was presented with a list of elements to incorporate into a 3 minute film that had to be written, shot, edited, scored and uploaded within 24 hours and this is what we came up with.

    And now the important part. To win this thing, we're going to need the ratings of YOU the viewer. You can watch the movie on YouTube but to rate it and help us rise to the top of the over 3,000 submissions, please go HERE and give us some high marks. There will be a making of series chronicling the 24 hours of fun we had making the movie coming soon.

  • August 24, 2007- New Nowhere Fast Comic
    They're back. This week: "Plan B"
     

  • August 21, 2007- New Music Tuesday
    Our two musical counterparts have both released new songs this week. In addition to adding two tracks from the 2004 LP Samplified, the new Poster Boy track "All the Time in the World" is now streaming from his myspace page and the unstoppable duo of TORPEDOphile has unleashed "Damn Nation"- its political statement to the world. Both artists are slated to put out albums in 2008.

    Speaking of new music, world traveling hip hop/dancehall/reggae/all around bad ass     M.I.A. released her sophomore album Kala today and I strongly suggest you all check it out.

     

  • August 15, 2007- Matt's Demo Reel
    I've never had a demo reel before. But, until now, I never really felt like I had a diverse enough collection of work to warrant one. But, for various reasons, there now exists a Matt Ryan Greatest Hits type video thing. Check it out...



     
     

  • July 26, 2007- The Simpsons Movie
    As everyone on the planet is well aware, we will soon live in a world where America's most popular non-prehistoric cartoon family finally have their own feature film. It actually seems pretty damn weird to be writing about a Simpsons movie...(more)



     

  • July 24, 2007- Brave New Site
    Changing this site's look is nothing new for us. Usually, once or twice a year, we (and by that I mean "I") get bored with looking at it and decide to initiate a make-over. The big difference this time around is the addition of a slew of new content. Please notice the list of projects at the left of your screen. Thanks to the glorious existence of YouTube, much of our actual work is now online for your viewing pleasure.

    More will be added as time marches on and the plan is to broaden our horizons beyond this being simply an information kiosk. Anyways, there's lots of video to be found and the entire site is brand-spankin' new. Enjoy. And don't forget that     The Simpsons Movie opens this Friday.



     

  • June 17, 2007- Nowhere Fast @ SAUFF

  • April 19, 2007- Charlie's Shakin' Me
    Looks like fan-made videos are becoming the norm. If this keeps up, we might get to make videos for all our favorite bands. This time it's The Red Hot Chili Peppers and the song is "Charlie" off of last year's double album Stadium Arcadium.

    You can watch the finished video HERE! Be sure to leave us a comment and feel free to embed that video anywhere you like. *wink* Also on YouTube, a three part making-of series for the video. Enjoy!

  • January 24, 2007- Nowhere Fast Comics
    Mister Films is proud to present nowhere fast comics! Created as both a compliment to and extension of the movie of the same name, these mini-adventures will debut on multiple internet locations on a semi-weekly basis. The quickest way to find and comment on them will be to add the Nowhere Fast Myspace Page as your friend and subscribe to the blog.

    Also, if you've kept up with us at all through myspace, you may have noticed we jumped head first into the music video game over the last few months. First, in November, was a video for our very own Andrew Rosas. The song is called "    All Night" and is from his debut album 23rd and 2, which is due out this Spring. Watch the video HERE.

    Right on the heels of that project was a video for multi-platinum rock band     Incubus. They launched a contest looking for a fan made video for the single "Dig" off their (already certified gold) album Light Grenades. You can watch the finished video HERE on YouTube, where you may also find a three-part making of series for the project.
