Great job to everyone that was involved in making this event happen. Congrats to Take 3 Burgers at Fulton Mall & Sam Hansen for a very successful event. I am happy to see that the creative community is having more influence in building our city to the full potential that it can grow to.

Enjoy a few photos from the #Powamekka event and below you can find a couple of links to articles written about "POWAMEKKA" from various internet sources.

"The cafe is a collaboration between Hansen and Desirae Washington-Reed, who owns Take 3 with her father, Brian Washington. The concept is based on a restaurant Shakur was planning to open in Los Angeles before his death." - BY JOSHUA TEHEE

Additional BLOG:
The tagline for Grim Weaver asks the question “how do you bury a lie…. when you know it’s the truth?”  Intriguing question. Intriguing movie.

Grim Weaver is an Ernest Serrano film from Burnt Chili Productions and Falkonquest Productions that stars a top notch cast of actors including Sid Burston, Malika Perkins Blessing, Eric Akeem Bellows and iconic screen actress, Donna Lee Heising. Grim Weaver is directed by Ernest Serrano and Executive Produced by Sid and Betty Burston.

In Grim Weaver, the characters are living their dreams, they have lavish lives, powerful careers and wealth in abundance. Everything seems so perfect on the surface. However, what lies beneath that glossy exterior of perfection is a secret so dark, so terrifyingly dangerous that it has brought forth a beautiful entity to seek them out. One so powerful that even the hair on her head could kill their bodies and steal their souls.

The trailer for Grim Weaver, which is currently in post-production and scheduled to be released in October, is short, but it is filled with powerful and visceral visuals that let you know this is a horror movie and it will scare you. Set to an intense music score written by Cal Reichenbach, the images from the Grim Weaver trailer are a stylish mix color fading in and out to black and white, which sets the dramatic tone of the movie. In a few, very short frames, of film, the trailer manages to convey the tone of the characters and the deadly situations they are in. It makes the viewer want to see more; it made me want to see more of the movie. Check it out for yourself:

Fulton Film Company brings the Film Industry to Fresno | Central California Life Magazine

Fulton Film Company Aims to Bring the Film Industry to Fresno | Central California Life Magazine



In Fresno, Fulton Film Company is working with the community to provide a space where people can work in film and still make a living wage, without the necessity of a full time job. They also offer affordable space -- $20 an hour -- for working on projects, or even screening a film.

Founded in June, people at Fulton Film Company can be creative in a supportive and inspiring environment, while getting advice on how to live comfortably.

George Ohan, the head organizer at Fulton Film Company, has a mission for the creativity of the Fresno area, and hopes that others feel inspired to try something new. 


Tell be about Fulton Film Company. When did it get started?


George Ohan:
 FFC is a place that I thought of creating to give artists a place to collaborate. It sucks to be surrounded by mediocrity in Starbucks while you're trying to create greatness. Fulton Film Company gives creatives a place to come and exchange ideas, build, and learn from each other.


What is the ultimate goal of the company?

GO: My goal is to train the youth about entrepreneurship and earning a sustainable living wage, without having to get a 9-5 job.

What's the most memorable moment you've had working at Fulton Film Company?

GO: My most memorable moment so far has been the grand opening day. On that same day I got a call to work on MineCraft set in Hollywood, my partner KP booked a TV reality show producing gig in Ohio, and we landed a digital marketing contract for the Asian World Film Festival 2016... When it rains, it pours! 

What are the hopes for the future?

GO: My hopes for the future are to create community programs to help at-risk youth, military veterans, and women in business.

Is there an age limit to who can attend your classes? What kind of classes are offered? 

GO: We are the alternative to taking your kids to a Karate class. We have weekly training for actors and filmmakers. We teach people of all ages about stunt fighting for film, producing, directing, cinematography, acting, modeling, and anything related to entertainment business.

We offer many digital marketing services to small businesses. We teach the small business owner how to take control of their digital content and social media sites too.

Asian World Film Festival in Los Angeles 2016

Quality foreign films in Los Angeles October 24 - November 1, 2016!

Don't worry If you missed the chance to join the festivities last year at the Asian World Film Festival, because they have another exciting festival ready for the international film community this year too! Festivals like this are huge for indie filmmakers like myself because it gives us a chance to meet international filmmakers right here in our home state. Networking is one of the most important elements of entertainment business and the Asian World Film Festival is creating a place where all the right people can meet.

 http://www.asianworldfilmfest.org/

Mr. Georges Chamchoum (Executive & Program Director AWFF) is excited to connect the talented filmmakers of Asia with Hollywood! The hard work of his staff can truly be seen in the quality of their wonderful event. Take a moment to visit the website and learn more about the Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) 2016. This event is open for movie lovers, movie makers, family members and supporters of the Asian film community.

It was great to see the AWFF create an opportunity for international filmmakers to introduce 30 movies that were represented by 27 countries to a fresh Los Angeles audience. Films were submitted from Lebanon, Philippines, China, India, and many more countries throughout Asia. The entire staff at AWFF should be proud to have provided a platform that screened 17 Oscar nominated movies and 10 Golden Globe submissions. Wow, Great work! I know that's not an easy task to accomplish.

Asian World Film Festival 2016 will continue the celebration with the celebrities in Hollywood, California on October 24 - November 1 this year. They will be representing Asian cinema and allowing filmmakers from around the world to physically see what Hollywood is all about. Many filmmakers also take advantage of the professional seminars with industry experts that are offered throughout the festival. This is where the real connections are made for most independent filmmakers.

A special thank you to all of the sponsors that have invested their time and money into making an event like this happen for our creative community... This year as an indie producer, I'd like to see many more film schools, veterans in film, women in film & TV, and Hollywood organizations like the Society of Camera Operators get involved with the success and longevity of the Asian World Film Festival.

"Champion, recognize and unite through cinema."

The Asian World Film Festival is organized under Aitysh USA, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization.

360 camera technology in Colorado

Saturday - 3/5/2016

360 camera technology is cool and we love it. Shall we move forward?

My good friend and U.S. Navy veteran, Jonathan Wilkinson is no stranger to cameras and technology. We met eachother in L.A., where we studied Filmmaking at The Los Angeles Film School and worked on various sets in Hollywood. So when Jonathan asked me to be the Producer of his most recent zombie script that he'd written, it was a 100% MUST that we shoot this project on a 360 camera. A camera is just a tool to serve your story, and this story requires this tool.

The purchase was made, and bam! Colorado now has Hollywood trained, industry standard filmmakers with the latest 360 camera capabilities and technology available.

Currently we are spending countless hours perfecting our craft by shooting, editing, and reviewing footage with the 360 camera. This is a long process of figuring out how the camera reacts in different situations, such as: lighting, camera shake, transcoding in a specific codec, exporting for specific formats, color correction without losing quality, uploading, etc.

We want to show people that we are fully competent with the latest technology and we are looking for the right filmmakers to build our Colorado based team with.

Headshots Special:
http://www.denverheadshots.co/

As filmmakers we are TEST WHORES! Yes, I said it! We love to test everything! We shoot. Edit. Hate it. Then do it again until we get it right. True story.


We are learning to be the best 360 camera crew in Colorado by making as many mistakes as possible. The more we mess up now, the better our future clients can sleep at night knowing that their project is in safe hands. This is how all great things start. To walk one thousand miles, you must take the first step.

At this point we have produced 25 videos with the 360 camera format. Our next project will be the zombie short film that we will produce within the next few weeks. Who do you know that's produced more 360 camera projects than us? We want to meet them.

Anyone that is interested in hiring us for services or learning more about our techniques can send me an email anytime. I look forward to hearing from you.

Very Respectfully,
