MUHBOMM - Hiya!
Hi Everbody.
What the heck is this? Glad you asked! This the fist edition of MUHBOMM! "No, I know that," you say? "I meant what heck IS a MUHBOMM? Some sort of bomb? Some social media app for tweens? A product of speaking in tounges? Some sort of slag for a venereal disease?" No, at least not to my knowledge. So hopefully not...
Nope, MUHBOMM are a thoughtfully clunky acronym for

48 Hours of Horror
Yet another fantastic 48 Horor Film Project in the can. I twas an amazing year. We some how drafted Mad Scientiest / Frankenstien again, but no matter, we jumped in. Deciding to make something more a kin to a spoof we pounded out a script highlighting our main ingredients. It turned out great!
Check out "Mind over Meow"
Drawing a Genre from a hat is an amazing way to make every 48 interesting, even if we drew the same thing as last year.

So yeah this basement is terrifying

This WILL be our downfall
Let's try that one more time, for safety. Coverage!

The Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project 2015
It was that time of year again. Time fo the 48 Hour Film Project. It's been a whirlwind since the last time we were here. A year of amazing things.
This time drew the dreaded western and musical genre. Be we took it head on. Our Character was Seth or Sara Tremaine, Our prop was a mug, and Our line was "You can't take it with you."
check out The Best Outlaws Ever.
Here we go.

Scrooge: Spirit Hunter
Well our little production troupe made another little video. This one we cooked up after the holidays. It is a clever twist on the Scrooge story.

48 Hour Film Project Austin
After our award winning film last year, our teammate moved down to Austin, Texas. And of course we saw this as an opportunity to get into two 48 hour film projects. Gathering an amazing talent pool together the folks calling themselves "Media Offline" built something amazing. Working over the net I was able to help do some of the writing. Our local VFX wizard actually headed south and pitched in. With three team members working on it from the original Gaff Tape & a Prayer it felt like opening another branch. But really it turned into something original and amazing.

PAX East 2015
Wow, what an amazing trip. For those who have never had the chance to attend a Penny Aracade Expo I cannot recommend it enough. They have been, in my experience, some of the nicest and most enjoyable conventions I have attended. Attendees are polite and cool folk. Panels are engaging. The sellers are great. And it is one of the few places you get the opportunity to mingle with video game creators outside of trade shows.
Thanks to a robust and friendly community, even tried my hand at the wacky world of costuming this year. Cosplay has always been well represented at PAX and while I'm not sure my StarLord costume knocked it out of the park I had a blast! But seriously my good friend's Cobra Commander is just awesome.
A fun way to get a way for a while. Enjoy a bit of geek culture and community.

Filmapalooza 2015
Talk about an amazing journey. A group of my talented friends and I made a film for the 48 Hour Film Project. And you know what we won the Pittsburgh City Project. That meant we were entered to show our film in Hollywood at the international level competition Filmapalooza, with a chance to win a showing at Cannes. Half a year later I was on a plane to California. And what an amazing time. We didn't get to Cannes but the experiences and people I met with are priceless. And I could not have asked to be in Hillywood with a better group of filmmaking buddies. It will stand as a milestone in my life.

New York City 2015
I had yet another opportunity to travel to the Big Apple. Mostly took time to hit tourist stuff I did have time for on more strictly business trips. It was a blast and I always fall more in love with the city every time I visit.
