We've uploaded a new short, entitled C'était une belle nuit [It Was a Beautiful Night]. It's a french new wave inspired tale about two students who find love in a library under unusual circumstances.

FRESAS Wins Best Screenplay at the CUNUFF

van — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:06:17 +0000

Over the weekend Jason's new film FRESAS screened at the Columbia University National Undergraduate Film Festival (say that five times fast) and won Best Screenplay in the competition. Congratulations to what I will now refer to as the "Fresas Dream Team," scribes Jason Outenreath, Josh Lamstein, & Francisco Gonzalez, and really to the entire cast and crew.

Website Updates

van — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:24:51 +0000

I know it seems like we update the design of the site more than we make films but… well… yeah. More films are coming soon.

Notable features include:

New sorting tools on Works page (Now with 100% more ajax goodness!)
Quicktime/Flash switch-able video (On our newer HD films only)
New social network thingies: Twitter and Vimeo

There's a bunch of other tweaks, but those are the tent-pole features.

Any-who, Jason just wrapped principal photography on his new film, EMPTY HANDED FISTS, so that film should be finished in a month or so.

The thrilling conclusion to our Milk trilogy has been uploaded: Milk Will Enhance. You can watch it at the usual venues.

In other news, Jason is working on a new film in Mexico (We're aiming for the Best Foreign Film Oscar). Oh, and Student of Virginity has an IMDB page.

Cha-cha-changes.

I've made some tweaks to the site:

A new minor works section
Redesigned film pages for said minor works
Slightly improved homepage

Oh, and we have a new film: Everything You Need To Know To Be A Spy.

More to come soon.

BE RIGHT THERE at the 2009 Brainwash Movie Festival

van — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:43:19 +0000

Our ode to misplacing keys, BE RIGHT THERE, will be screening at the Brainwash Movie Festival in August:

Bay Area's own Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk In movie festival features original shorts from around the world! The sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes wacky, but always original Brainwash Movie Festival returns in the summer of 2009.

Attendees to the festival are encouraged to either drive, bike, walk, or take public transit to the venue — a parking lot near the West Oakland BART station — where movies are screened in traditional drive-in movie theater fashion, complete with FM transmission and a full-service concession stand.

Apparently, the Times calls the Brainwash Movie Festival "a piece of that old Hollywood magic [that] challeng[es] conventions on the role of public space in the process."

I'm not sure if Be Right There falls under that umbrella, but hey, I'm not complaining.

Anyway, the festival runs two days from July 31st to August 1st. All shows begin at 9pm in the Mandela Village Arts Center at 1357 5th Street in Oakland.

Be Right There will be showing on Saturday. Tickets are 9 clams.

Student of Virginity, uploaded

van — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:55:18 +0000

You remember when I said that Student of Virginity was gonna be released on June 3rd? Well, I was just kidding.

Anyway, only a week late…

Starring David Madwin, Jill Turner, and Whitney Moore, STUDENT OF VIRGINITY is a screwball comedy about a sex obsessed virgin who accidentally takes a vow of chastity.

It's a literary adaptation, so you know it's gonna be good.

Watch it here, or at the usual venues.

Speaking of new films: AIMEZ-MOI DESTIN (Love Me Fate)

van — Mon, 18 May 2009 05:41:21 +0000

AIMEZ-MOI DESTIN (English translation: LOVE ME FATE). A story of betrayal, forgiveness, loss, regret, hate, love, life, death, rebirth, and the meaning of life.

Watch, nay, experience the trailer here and at the usual venues.

New Design: Like the old one, but prettier

van — Sun, 17 May 2009 18:55:26 +0000

If you're reading this, then you already know: I've redesigned this site.

It's the Windows Vista of Two Cut Films design revisions: a (theoretically) nicer UI at the expense of compatibility (Don't even think about trying to visit this site in IE6 or without Javascript). For comparisons sake:

Now, as for real news….

The next Two Cut Films production will be released on June 3th. Starring David Madwin, Jill Turner, and Whitney Moore (among others) it's a screwball comedy about a sex obsessed virgin who accidentally takes a vow of chastity.

But more on that later… I've probably already broken my NDA by saying too much. I suspect the corporate lawyers will break down the door and come crashing through the windows any moment now…

Two Cut Films on IMDb

van — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:11:02 +0000

Looks like we've become quite the movie making machine: a film a year according to our page… not bad. Not bad at all…

Here are the individual film pages:

Yes, I realize many of the credits are incorrectly formatted and pretty much all the below-the-line people are missing. IMDb is a pain to deal with.

Now available on Amazon: BE RIGHT THERE

van — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:05:59 +0000

I'm not sure why you would want to (especially when you can watch it online, for free, in high definition), but you can now purchase a Be Right There DVD on Amazon at a greatly inflated price.

I get 50 cents with each purchase. This is just one of my numerous get-rich-quick schemes.

BE RIGHT THERE, a new film

van — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 08:43:30 +0000

New film coming out today: Be Right There.

It's about a man (Played by me) who accidently locks his keys in his car and imagines ways of retrieving them. Watch it here.

Happenings: Red Carpet Noms, IMDB, & New Movie

van — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:18:06 +0000

Yes, I realize I ought to update this blog more frequently. Anyway, three things:

A pair of Two Cut Films productions were nominated at the SCTV Red Carpet Awards: Dream On for Best Trailer (Despite my insistence to the higher ups that it wasn't one), and Be Right There for Slugger's Choice (Despite not even being completed or released yet, I submitted a rough cut!)
One of our productions is now on IMDB! Sinema Provocateur, our 2008 erotic thriller, now has another home on the internet. Sort of anyway. We're still trying to resolve the credits (That is: The lack of them)
Finally, a new film will be released next Tuesday. As I just hinted, It's called Be Right There
