It was a long, rainy, cold winter, but finally, Spring has returned and QO is back in the game! Watch for our new website designed by Jason, you guys are going to love it! More movies, coooler buttons, new design!
Eli premiered his Senior Thesis film "Dos Hermanos Tacos" at the Art Institute's Senior Showcase at the Hollywood Theater on March 26. The crowd seemed to enjoy the film, laughing at all the right parts, and now it's time to take the movie to festivals! Also, Erin Marrs' film "Caged Animals" premiered. Well written and directed, produced by Walker, shot by Cameron Carey, man that movie is good! Friend of QO, Anthony Gainer's film "Jacked" was effing hilarious too! Pat's movie "Waiting For Rusty" co-produced by Eli, and directed by Nate Baston looks beautiful!
KG brought some money into the QO coffers by cutting a new reel together for a local musician doing scores for shorts and commercials. And Jason is working on a new animation, that is looking SICK!!
Oh yeah...We got paid work! Walker got us hooked up with a local company about to release a new tequila by the name of Yeyo...Yes. Yeyo....anyway, we met with the creator of the company, Jon, pitched him some ideas for the commercial, showed him our work, and what direction we wanted to go with, and we've got the green light. Cool.
We are also doing a feature. This isn't a QO production, but we are all involved. Jason is Directing, Walker does data managment, Eli is AD, and KG is grip/swing. Pat is shooting, Selena is doing Art...Jeez, this might as well be a QO production. But this is Co's baby. Go check out the website theforgeproject.com. This movie is going to be sweet!
As soon as we get out of production on The Forge, we start principal photography for Selena's Senior Film tentatively titled "Toy Maker's Reality". So, we've got a lot of things going on. It's good to come out of winter, with a whole set of opportunities. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and all quarters of the orange are busy as hell.
