“THE INTERVIEW” depicts a struggling comic-book artist who reluctantly interviews for a job he doesn’t want. Written by @ryanreznick and directed by @sheilava — our story champions hard work, big dreams, and way, WAY too much cheese.

Excited to finally share the completion of “Good Morning” ☀️ It recently received an Honorable Mention at the @atxshortfilmshowcase and is currently awaiting decisions from a dozen other film festivals. More updates coming soon!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this film to life. It wouldn’t have been possible without the incredibly talented people who gave their time, energy, and creativity to the project. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who was a part of it.

Logline:

On the verge of graduation, an anxious college senior spirals over his uncertain future-until witnessing his roommate’s chaotic morning meltdown suddenly puts his own fears into perspective.

Finally got to meet someone from the first film I worked on!

@janedarehaas acted in Nightshade (directed by @jimmywillden), which I was very happy to be a part of. We've had a couple online interactions, but ran into each other last night at the ATX Short Film Showcase, where we both had films screening.

Jane, you were a delight. It was so nice to finally meet you! taken in 29th St Ballroom by @chrisruptive

If there was an alternate dimension where I had been hired to make music for Spyro The Dragon, here is what I would have come up with. It is quite a departure from the more funky rock soundtrack that the game has, I know, but looking at the level and gameplay, this is what came into my head. Let me know if you think it fits or if it's just all wrong.

I was asked to make a track similar to Mick Gordon's Doom soundtrack for a game jam. Being a big fan, I jumped on it. Hope I did the genre justice! #doom #doomsoundtrack #argent #argentmetal #mickgordon #videogamemusic #vgm #metal #composer #videogamecomposer by @chrisruptive
