Don't have the answer to the subject line of this blog, but we would like to say thank you to the thousands who are reading our blog today. It is quite a surprise. We haven't figured it out yet, but there is a tremendous spike in our work led by a resurgence of our video "Religious Freaks Gone Wild" Even though it has already been seen by millions, its view count has trickled down to about a thousand a week, until today where thousands upon thousands are checking it out. For those who haven't seen it, here it is.
We appreciate the many of you who are checking out our work. We also welcome you to check out the "Bodywash Spoof" if you haven't already seen it, as well as the opening minutes of our critically acclaimed and award winning short film, "Shoot-Out"

We are getting a lot of love from http://www.speedballing.pl/ which is a Polish Streetball website. Our man Arek has provided an amazing review of "Shoot-Out" making streetball fans in Poland and throughout the world (we've been hit up ballers from Poland and Hungary) aware of our award winning, critically acclaimed independent hoops drama.
We love the press. Big ups to Arek and Londer who run the site. They tell us to look out for an english version of the site down the line.
The Bad: We must apologize to our fans in Austin, TX who were geared up to see "Shoot-Out" on the big screen during the upcoming 28th Flicker Film Festival. We have been informed that "Shoot-Out" has been removed from the schedule and will not screen. Our deepest apologies. Not sure when "Shoot-Out" will be back in the area. Please monitor our page for the latest news.
The Good: The committee made "Shoot-Out" an official selection. Flicker is a festival that only accepts films made on film, somehow we did not catch that and submitted "Shoot-Out" anyway. With it's beautiful cinematography, "Shoot-Out" fooled the committee, they accepted the film believing it was shot on film. It wasn't until later they realized that it was shot on digital. Big ups to our cinematographer Ivan Vatez Rodriguez!
Our next screening will now be held November 14th in Los Angeles in coordinatiion with the Hollywood Black Film Festival. Scroll down in our blog or see our screenings section for further details.
Things have been hectic so it has been hard to keep up with all the news happening. Over this past week, the amount of combined views for the opening minutes of "Shoot-Out" has surpassed the 2500 clip.
Thank you to all who are supporting our work, writing your comments and buying "Shoot-Out"
Our best,
David, Tyshawn, Daniel
We have received amazing coverage from www.elevationmag.com. "Shoot-Out" is currently on the front page in the Headline News - Around the Street Section.
Inside there is an awesome review written by our man Mark Slane. We are thrilled with the coverage and cannot thank Mark enough. He is writing from the perspective of a basketball fan. It's easy as a basketball fan to see a basketball movie and come away disappointed. We're glad that wasn't the case here.
The Link to the Full Review:
"Absolutely captivating and yes it is a little bit nerve-racking."
"Shoot-Out" is an Official Selection to the Flicker Film Festival in Austin, Texas. Coming off of two previous screenings in Wichita Falls we are excited to have the opportunity to screen in the budding filmmaking city of Austin.
"Shoot-Out" is the critically acclaimed and award winning story of two men playing a basketball game of one-on-one...to the death. It has recently been featured on the cover of "Hoops Magazine" as well as www.streetballin.net, www.streetballonline.com, and www.ElevationMag.com. It stars Tyshawn Bryant and Daniel Sol and was written and directed by David Branin.
More on the Flicker Film Festival: Austin
Madmen, UFOs, and fairy tale princesses will converge on the big screen at the 28th Flicker Film Festival. The Alamo Drafthouse Downtown, always a gracious host, will serve up this smorgasbord of food and flicks on Thursday, November 9th. The festivities will kick off at 7 p.m. and tickets are only $5.
Local filmmakers will be featured alongside national and international shorts that demonstrate the subtle genius that can only be captured on film. "Cold?" by Norwood Cheek, a Flicker LA regular, and Austin based Lion & Leon Production's "Unidentified Flying Object" will be included in this evening's collection of short films that promises to have something for everyone. After enlightening and entertaining the audience of Flicker 27 with their critical film insights on the eternal debate over the superiority of cop dog to sport dog movies, the DragonSquad will return to host another Flicker. This Austin-based improv troupe, composed of members of Ed 32 and the Polite Society, will continue to plumb the depths of cinematic criticism as only they can.
And because Flicker is always looking for ways to give back to its audience, gift certificates to Austin Java, Waterloo Records, Blazer Tag, and many more beloved Austin establishments will be raffled off. At the end of the evening, the audience has the opportunity to vote for their favorite films of the night. The winner will be added to a "Best of Flicker" compilation that will be exhibited at the end of the year.
To purchase tickets online, visit Alamo Drafthouse at http://www.alamodrafthouse.com.
