No Commercial Interruptions.

Posted by Mitch Arend on March 16th, 2011.

Before you get too confused that this isn’t a Friday and that I’m not blogging about various sound effects I’d like to remind you that I do have a life outside of Foley Fridays (as hard as that may be to comprehend).

Part of that life includes my being involved in a wide array of artistic endeavors. Case in point – No Commercial Interruptions – a play that I’m lucky enough to be acting in from March 24th – 26th, just next week!!!

It’s a short, one act written and directed by my friends Jamieson Child and his brother Andrew. Honestly, the only things that I can say to describe it while keeping the thrills, chills and spills under wraps is that it takes place in the 1970′s, on a sitcom set. That’s it. I’ll let the poster pique your interest in what I meant by thrills, chills and spills.

We’re sharing a bill with 3 other great one acts, which means 4 for the price of one! It’s $5 dollars in advance, $7 at the door. There are also 4 performances to choose from from the 24th – the 26th at 7pm and a matinee on the 26th at 1pm. Please see this snappy poster for the evening for further details.

So, if you’ve read my posts in the past, maybe even seen one of my films and thought “I wonder what it’d be like to see him act on stage…” Now is your chance!

Save The Date!

Posted by Billy Allinson on February 9th, 2011.

Yep, I Spyders is still fundraising! We just can’t stop, we’re addicted! Actually the budget is coming together – fingers crossed we will be fully funded come May so that this film can be finally realized.

Next up is a twist on the month of love – an evening event called ‘Save The Date’ – where Adam Growe (host of Discovery Channel’s Cash Cab) will auction off willing singles to eager bidders. This strange social experiment alone would be enough to come out and join us – but to sweeten the deal, we’re going to have all sorts of gourmet prizes and the evening will eventually turn in to a crazy dance party.

Saturday, Feb 19th @ The El Mocambo – Doors @ 9. $10pp.

SWEET GREASY LICKS!

Posted by Billy Allinson on November 5th, 2010.

It’s FUNDRAISIN’ TIME AGAIN! I’m a couple months out and a couple dollars short of making a sweet little movie called ‘I Spyders’ and I need your help once again, friends. By Dog The Bounty Hunter’s (sorry, ‘God’ The Bounty Hunter’s) good grace, I’ve managed to wrangle a major talent by the name of BLOODSHOT BILL to play the Silver Dollar Room on Saturday November 20th. He’s a low-down-and-dirty one man band who has played with the best of em’ and knows his way around a GEETAR and a set-o-drums. Please join me that night, win some prizes and drink some suds for only $10 at the door:

With any good evening comes an initial game plan. Above you’ll see my artists interpretation of the evening. Among many other things, this includes a visit from 2 Lindsay Lohan’s as I would like to remember her, and a gentle whisper from the late David Carradine. It’s gonna be dirty, double-down, fun.

More about Bloodshot Bill and I Spyders after the jump…

Nuit Blanche Is Made By Other People: The Gallery.

Posted by Mitch Arend on October 6th, 2010.

Since Michael Pierro live blogged the actual event (which you can read in full-colour detail here) there isn’t much point in giving too large a description of how we participated in this year’s Nuit Blanche, in Toronto Canada, other than that we showed a handful of our films out of the back of a Uhaul while giving out free popcorn and good times.

At final count, we guesstimate we handed out somewhere between 600 – 700 bags of popped corn to the rotating audience that kept showing up until the wee hours of the morning. Now I’m giving out these photos for all those who didn’t make it out to our all night screening.

Thanks again to all who made it out and to all checking it out here on the site.

Hey, Bill here – just contributing to the blog with an artists rendition of what went down on Saturday night:

Screening on the milk-sac of a large cow proved to be a rewarding experience – great to go with that popcorn, and fun for the kids as well. If you plan to take this route, please make sure to book yourself an oversized ‘baseball edition’ Orson Welles to keep it calm – a lesson we almost learned too late. You may notice the collective in various formations towards the bottom right, and M. Night working hard on the left. Basically, it was just great!
