Action On Film Festival

The Mercury Men was just awarded Best Visual Effects at the Action On Film Festival in Pasadena, California. Congrats to the cast and crew!

Brainwash Drive-In Movie Festival

The Mercury Men short was awarded the Second Grand Prize (the highest award the festival offers) at the Brainwash Drive-in Movie Festival last week. Unfortunately the screening took place during Comic Con so we weren't able to be there. Would have been great to see the film at a drive-in. Regardless, congratulations to the cast and crew.

This is the film's first award so we're obviously thrilled!

TMM was also briefly featured in an article about the festival which you can read here.

Captain Blasto at Comic Con

Myself (Chris Preksta) and Curt Wootton of Captain Blasto will be attending the San Diego Comic Con this week. While we won't be parked at a booth, I am ridiculously tall, so there's a good chance you may just spot me. (If you have a booth, let us know and we'll stop by.)

We'll be at the screening of our short concept film, The Mercury Men, which is playing the comic con film festival on Sunday, July 27th, at 2:00 PM in Room 26AB. Please stop by, we'd love to meet you.
