The Gun Show and Film Festivals

This has been a very exciting month. As you may know Matt does professional video production. Recently he and his brother worked on some short independent films of their own to submit to various places. Both Matt and his brother were recently selected as finalists at the Home Grown Film Festival next week in Los Angeles. Matt's movie is titled "The Chase." That was pretty exciting to hear the news that he was a finalist. Hopefully he will be recognized for his work!

So, that was pretty exciting... but then today happened. Matt has been involved with a few friends and they created their own production company The Juniper Sequence. They have been working on a movie idea for a very long time. They finally got their lucky break several months ago when they pitched the idea to a production company called Dark Horse Entertainment. They have received great feedback with some hope of funding for their film.

After a couple months worth of work and meetings, and artwork, and animation, and editing, and... well you get the idea, the guys went for another meeting today. I can't build up the excitement with text the way I would like to so... here it is: Dark Horse wants to pitch the idea to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's production company, and are willing to fund the "The Gun Show"! AAAAHHHH!!! Can you just imagine the thrill!! We all went out to celebrate tonight. This is hopefully the beginning of a wonderful production company and their first of many movies together. I am sure I will write more about it later, but that is the BIG news!
