Massive First Quarter News from BnFP
This is Vinnie (aka the Funk) from Big n Funky
Productions... it's been a long minute since we have updated you guys
on what's been happening here on the Mothership! Well... truth be
told--- its because we have been uber busy and the website has fallen
to the wayside a bit... but here goes:
WJHC AM is officially done! Since the
premiere in December, I have been painstakingly re-editing this thing
for a world wide release. Pretty stoked. We have not one BUT TWO
distributors for this film, Burning Bulb Publishing and our old pals
at Chip Taylor Communications (which handled "The Hike).
Worldwide release and dvd/ Bluray sales should start in 8-9 weeks!
Speaking of "The Hike", we
have tweaked it a hair this last week! We enjoyed so much success
with its release last Juneteenth, with 36 awards and nominations on
the festival circuit, positive media reviews and a spot on Amazon
Prime, that we really are humbled. But after looking at the final
product, we felt a few tweaks could be made to make the damned thing
even better. We now have a different opening scene, which introduces
the legend of Spearfinger, the importance of the necklace in the
film, a bit of foreshadowing, some toilet humor, and some more Native
American flava. THIS version will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray and
will be released throughout the world within weeks. Thanks to Elton
Locklear, Seavy Locklear, and John Anderson for the love.
We have two episodes of Wrestling With
Ghosts from North and South Carolina in the can (Kandi's hometown
haunts), which will be released on ASY TV, Mur-vul TV Network,
Intrigue TV and Saltbox. We will let you know when they are released.
PLUS! We had such a good time filming with Amy Hale (Sister Christian), Austin Wright and Kirby Simon's post credit parts for WJHC AM, that we will return to Hot Springs,
Arkansas for a couple shoots for WWG this spring.
Camp Smokey's first teaser trailer...
to be released in a week, CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPY. No jokes in this
movie--- straight up horror. Good damn story buy Big Luke. Many of
you LOVE Luke's character Arlo in WJHC AM, so this film is a vehicle
for ole' Lukey and Tracy Yaste (Nancy) to carry. I believe its gonna
blow yer minds. Kandi Thompson will also return to the screen in this
one.
Speaking of Big Luke, we had the
pleasure of shooting the new EmiSunshine music video for the song Ms.
Anna from her new CD. The office loves the thing, and its a bit
serious. Get your Kleenex ready.
Thanks to Amber Schultz, we have been
on a TON of podcasts lately promoting WJHC AM. I will be updating the
websites this week with all of the interesting show links and jive we
have been on. We made some cool friends!
Many of the BnFP family, including
Travis, Amber, Hack, Mike Standley, Gavin and Tracy have been cast in
a short film shooting soon called “Logan's Chapel” written by
Skyler Chaney. We will update you with that info soon.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We hope you
are enjoying our content. We are relasing WJHC-AM, the new edition of
the Hike and Camp Smokey this year--- plus shooting DCM, Evil Tacos
and another movie. Big 2022 for us! Believe in the Funk!!!
