I Wrote This At Midnight.
Hey again- what's going on everybody. Here's this week's installment of "Stuff You Might Not Have Noticed If I Didn't Write It Right Here."
The Flim Fest 08 archival project is finished. At least here on the Not A Tad Bad end- if there's any future media posted online I'll be sure to log it at the Flim Fest 08 page. The final list on the page includes a ton of videos, photos, and more- not to mention the Flim Fest 08 Bootleg. Check it out- it's an EP of some live recordings. Seriously- it's a free download of some music, so why not? There's some great bands on there. I also recently added some clips Hello Ninja playing, so check that out too.
On some maintenance-level news, I split the Archives section into a 2008 and 2007 section to make scrolling through easier. Hope that helps anybody out who's in need of a nostalgia fix.
Enjoy Autumn everyone- and you BETTER be prepping for Halloween.
Miss you already Brendan!

BIG Update
Well, there's certainly some stuff to update everyone on, so I best get crackin'. Here's the news:
Flim Fest 08 was absurdly amazing this year. Don't believe me? Fine, we've got documented evidence. Check out the Flim Fest 08 page for videos, photos, and mp3s (coming soon, I'm going to make a bootleg of sorts from the night). Here's the highlight video for your pleasure!
The quicklink section to your left has also been changed around a bit- there's links to the Flim Fest 07 and 08 pages now on our front page. Thanks go out to everyone who helped document the night- it's been a big mission of ours (along with all the others) for this year's fest, so thanks for giving us some tangible memories.
I'm trying to give the site a more uniform look too, so if you have any suggestions/complaints, email us at NotATadBad@notatadbad.net.
Our YouTube channel recently hit 400 subscribers- woot! That's pretty cool when you think about it. We haven't made content that regularly for the channel but we seem to constantly be gaining more attention on it so we must be doing something right. Cheers.
Oh, and the "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" DVD? It's done. Really. You can buy it. Really, I mean it- here. It's a simple PayPal setup- and as soon as you put your order through ($10 for the DVD stuffed with featured) I'll send one to your door. We've got about 30 left, so order now while you still can!
See- big update. And I didn't even cover everything, but who cares. We might have a new movie online within a week or so, hope you folks enjoy it when it's ready. It's going to be the first flim to complete a trilogy. May that be your hint.

Flim Fest Came, It Saw, It Kicked Ass.
Wow.
Just wow. More info is coming soon, promise. Give me a week and I'll have buckets of photos, mp3s, video clips, newspaper clippings, you name it.
Thanks everybody, this was the best year yet.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock
T-minus 11 Days.
Been checking your papers lately? Flim Fest has been mentioned in a few papers around the South Shore, including the Patriot Ledger (the article is coming this week). If you check the Flim Fest 08 page, I'll be posting any material I can there.
In other news, we've been gathering up every video for the festival along with the appropriate accessories for such an occasion (TJ, Neil, and I have been working on a big projection screen for this year). Crossing the T's, dotting the I's, that kind of thing. It's going to be an interesting two weeks ahead, I assure you. Here's hoping everything works out ok. This is less a news bulletin a more a sigh of tiredness, so wish us luck.
Here's a look at a banner TJ spray painted last night. Looks spiffy, ey?
Oh, and the "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" DVD is being sent out this week for mass production. Looks like we'll have it at Flim Fest 08- prepare to be amazed.

Did You See The Dark Knight?!
Only a few weeks left: T-minus 26 Days.
In cool news, Joe and I recently conducted phone interviews with the Pembroke Reporter. I also got us mentioned in the Kingston Reporter too, so this upcoming weekend you should see Not A Tad Bad featured in both papers (NEAT!). I'll post scans if I can this weekend.
In comradery-news, our friend and fellow movie maker Craig Shannon at Imagavision films recently got a fully-fledged website going over at Imagavision Films to check his work out (some of it's being shown at Flim Fest).
Oh, and here's the third Flim Fest ad. It's no 90s Genesis parody, but what is? Enjoy.

New Flim Stills
Surprise! Here's a look into the newest Flim of Fear, which has been half-assedly titled: "The Horridly Horrible Depths of Maddening Madness!"
This will be up sometime in the next week or so. It's part of our effort to do a handful of spooky movies this summer, the Flims of Fear. It's actually a spoof of an old Lovecraft story. You'll notice that one character in the above photo has their face distorted... you'll see what surprise we've got in store when this one's done cooking.

UPDATE:
The video is up on FoolTube, check 'er out!

A Peak At The Ads, Plymouth Rock Studios
Here's a twofer for today: a peak at some of the flim fest ads and a project put together for Plymouth Rock Studios: a new movie studio being built RIGHT HERE on the South Shore. Pretty neat, huh?
Well, for starters, here's some screen grabs of some of the flim fest ads including the one Dana and I shot the other day as well as a look at one TJ, Brendan, Mike, and I put together tonight. Both will be up in about a week, so keep your eyes on the site!
Here's the promo video I worked on alongside Ryan Murphy and Neil Cicierega, enjoy! It's for Plymouth Rock Studios' Hollywood East, check out the link for more info on what promises to be a BIG boom to the culture of the South Shore.

UPDATE:
Here's one more sneak peak at another flim fest ad, enjoy!

Flim Fest Ads/News Coming In Two Weeks
Today Mr. Dana Cataldo and I headed out to the mean streets of Plymouth to shoot the first of what we here at NATB hope to be many ads for this year's Flim Fest. We're really going to try and advertise this one via internet ads, newspaper coverage, interviews, local TV spots, that kind of thing. On the night of June 10th we should be able to confirm and post a lot of news on the showing this year, so come back to the site on June 11th to see what we've got along with an ad or two!

New Flim & Summer Movie Details
Hey, looks like we're going to have a new flim up by this time next week. Affectionately and tentatively titled "The Bat Movie," this one will feature Joe, TJ, myself, and Brendan in a good old fashion 5-10 minute short. Here's hoping you guys like it. We'll be shooting it on Wednesday night, so I'll post some stills from the shoot early on Thursday.
In other news, we're getting a really good idea of what our summer movie is going to be. We've got a ton of ideas but we still need to hammer out some specifics for the movie. It's looking really solid though, we hope you guys get a kick out of it. I doubt we'll have a trailer or anything ready until late June, but I think we'll probably have a video blog going again on this one. As soon as we can announce a title (AKA: As soon as we have one) we'll have a section for the movie under the Flimography section. Until then, look to the sky.
UPDATE: "The Bat Movie" wont be shot tonight, which stinks. We'll let you know when it happens- hopefully sooner rather than later.

Flim Fest 2008
It's here. Well, maybe not yet, but it's coming this August. August 16th, to be precise.
This year's festival is going to be a full-day event, including music, photography, art, animation, kickball, and of course: movies. Over the next few months we'll be populating the internet with a few short spots for the Flim Fest, not to mention garnering newspaper coverage for the event. We sincerely can't wait for that amazing night in August, but until then keep your eyes on this website for updates on Flim Fest 08. We have a page dedicated to the event (including submissions) right here under our Flim Fest section, so check it out!! We can't stand the wait.
-Kevin
PS: Joe, TJ, and I have begun talking about the big summer flim. We might have some info up on the site within a few weeks, hope you guys like what we cook up!
