New Year Cheer!
Greetings Revelers!
We know its been many silent nights without us, but we hope you enjoyed the holidays regardless. Now that we’re celebrating a new year, lets get ready to rock! Here are some projects that we’re thrilled to share.
“Consequences” is yet another collaboration between Revelcade Entertainment and Granny Cart Gangstas. This is a music video in the style of R&B, girl group of the 90′s. I was more than happy to take the helm as director for the project. The biggest challenge on this production was the schedule. We had a time limit to shoot in the main stage of noon, and exit time of 4:00pm. This meant production had to start early and move quickly. Fortunately, production went smoothly, and we had the team to thank. In addition to Revelcade, other players included Matt Abaya and Jeff L. We broke up into 3 separate units and shot simultaneously after the main stage. Not only did this allow us to speed up production, each portion of the video will also have a unique perspective from each unit. It was a fun project, but don’t take my word for it, check out the photo album and stay tuned for the LP!
Other Revelcade collaborations that are out now include a brand new reality web series called, Making the Cut. This series follow 3 aspiring barbers as they compete to see who earns a scholarship to Bay Area Hair Institute. Anton Cura, owner of Attention to Detail Barber Gallery delves deep into the lives of the contestants to find out their struggles, hurdles, and passion for barbering. The show will also focus on lives the Judges – Vick “The Barber” Damone, owner of Timeless Barbers Barbershop, Shane Nesbitt, owner of Shane’s Barbershop and Shave Parlor, and Derrick “Deerock” Pecson, owner of Black and Gold Barber Lounge. If you want to know what it takes to become a barber, then watch to find out who is Making the Cut. The producers of the show are the same folks that bring you 2 Unemployed Critics.
Speaking of 2 Unemployed Critics, make sure to catch the latest episode. This 4th installment reviews Santa Mesa and Zombadings and the critics find themselves employed at a MMA Gym, what antics can they possibly run into there? See all the pain in this Episode.
Until next time, enjoy the goodies!
Cheers,

Scary Red Treats from Granny
Greetings Revelers!
Happy Halloween! I know it’s a little early, but it’s never too soon for a treat, so get your sweet tooth ready.
Last month, we told you about our involvement with the horror short, Sophia. We’re happy to announce that the production has wrapped and is now in post production! One note I neglected to mention last month was that the project was part of Scary Cow. Scary Cow is a film co-op located in the San Francisco and is made up of filmmakers ranging from novice to expert. It was a great experience working with so many filmmakers eager to put their talents together over a duration of two complete weekends. The task is even more rewarding after shooting with the monstrosity that is the Red camera. Beware of shooting with this beast, because not only does it take great images, but also your time! All the best to Viking Teng as he tackles editing for the film and we’ll keep you posted on the release.
Speaking of Red, Granny Cart Gangstas are having a live show and it’s called, Rise of the Red Dawn! Check out the ladies as they present original new sketches, films, and stand up. Yes, Run the World (Girls) parody will be played and you’ll get the chance to meet them! This is for one night only, so mark your calenders for October 12 or you’ll be marked by the Granny Cart Gangstas!
Cheers,
-Revelcade

Turn Up the Burning Hot Streak
Greetings Revelers!
Hope you enjoyed a leisurely Labor Day holiday, or blissful Burning Man as you beat the summer heat or cooked in the smolder.
While big budget Hollywood tent poles crashed and burned at the box office this summer, the independent scene continues to soar. On August 16, we were in San Jose to celebrate CAAMFest part 2! It was a weekend full of Asian Pacific American films that kicked off with Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? with director Arvin Chen in attendance. After the opening night screening, the party moved to the San Jose Museum of Art. Check out the album for all the action. On a side note, a call for entries is still open, so look forward to another great CAAMFest in 2014!
If you think that’s hot, on August 29, the show you been waiting for finally launched, yes 2 Unemployed Critics is now online! Go to their YouTube channel and you’ll never be at a lost again when you’re searching for a good Filipino movie to watch. Also, check out the bloopers and behind the scenes content, and don’t forget to subscribe to catch each episode.
The hot streak continues, because we teamed up with Viking Teng to help him shoot his horror movie, Sophia. The story is about a young couple that suddenly experience mysterious activity in their home and discover they’re not alone. We’ll be working on the lighting side to create the eerie mood and spooky scenes that create the suspense you’re looking for when watching scary movies. This is a difficult challenge, but we’re more than ready to execute a killer movie (pun intended!). Get more information on the movie by visiting the official site and get ready for some thrills this fall, if you can handle it.
Cheers,
-Revelcade
