New CineChix and some updates

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe. 

First of all, I can't begin to thank  you enough for continuing to support the content during the absolute craziness of the world. 

For the past few months, you're Patreon dollars have: 

- Created CineChix, our movie review channel. So far we've release seven videos and have four in the editing oven. 

- Helped create Brennan Mejia's content, as I have been filming and editing every video o...

Hardest. Shoot. Ever.

So we've been filming our hardest short film ever, all running around LA while attempting to make this project look like "one take."

I really can't stress how much your support has made this possible, we've been able to pay actors, for locations, lens rental, gimbal rental, costumes, etc. 

We should have it cut together by the end of next week. 

Thank you so much for making this a reality. 

Let's hope it turns out awesome.

PIVOT

Hey fam. So in my never ending quest of doing 100 times at once, I'd like to let ya'll know that while funding our content on Ascender you're now officially funding the development of a video game. 

Now my original goal with Ascender has been: 

- Make baller YouTube videos.

- Make a show/some movies.

- Write a sci-fi novel.

- Create a dev team for interactive gaming experiences. 

However the pandemic through all of our projects into a blender...

Uncertain Future

Hey everyone, so let's have a little heart to heart. 

Again, I can't thank you enough for supporting the content but me as well. 

Los Angeles county just extended the "stay at home" for another three months and while I have my own opinions on that, it's a fact that the next three months will be a struggle for me to continue doing my regular editing/directing work that keeps the lights on. 

We'll still be producing content for you all, I know it's kind of slowe...

New Episode!

We filmed two episodes in Griffith Park last week! 

In Call of Duty there is a game mode called Infected where you're not sure who is the infected character, think zombies but where the zombie has a knife. 

This is just a fun little episode poking fun at that, featuring some new faces Katie Burton, Jerome Knight and Terika Jefferson.

Update & Restructuring

First of all, for those that celebrate it, Happy Christmas. Hope you're spending the day with friends and family or playing video games, eating good food and watching A Christmas Story thirty times. 

Second, I seriously need to a take a moment to tell all 70 of you that I appreciate you more than anything. Really. Truly. 

If you're throwing in $1, $10 or $50 you're the only reason we're able to make the videos we're making. 

Really. In fact if we're being hone...

Our Next Project

While we're keeping this hush hush for a few more weeks, I wanted to let ya'll know that we're working on a new series for the YouTube channel, based on the Call of Duty games. It's an action comedy in an anthology format, featuring Stephen Ford (me), Colton Mastro, Michael Lieberman, Brennan Mejia, Darrel J Delfin and Jennifer McDonnell.  

There will also be guest actors from previous shows I've worked on and new talented actors!

It's all thanks to your support that we'll be...

To do a compilation but YouTube hates me and blocked it in every country regardless of how many times I re-edited it.
