ADitude Advertising - "Honey Im Home is a quick and intense ride from start to finish!"

Look at this sensational review! This has just arrived from Trey McGriff, Film Department - Aditude Advertising.

We sent Trey a copy of our previous film, "Shoot-Out," a film that he absolutely loved and caused him to write "4 out of 4 Stars! You need to see this film!"

Knowing how he felt about our previous film, we were really excited to get a copy of our latest film, "Honey, I'm Home" into his hands. Apparently, he couldn't wait to view it himself. Here's what he wrote back after he received his screener DVD in the mail.

"Congrats again on everything and I'm pumped to watch this tonight as
the main feature!! We've got some people that will be watching too,
should be a fun time and a new crowd to turn your film on to!"

Well, what happened you ask?

Here is his response after watching the film with a crowd of people.

"We watched your film this weekend and everyone loved it man! Truly
great work!! The ending really caught us all by surprise and the
acting was superb, as well as the music, directing and all footage!
Congrats on such a unique twist in this film, it was a really fun
viewing!"

Looks like we did it again!

Trey McGriff's official review is short and sweet. He provided us the above banner to go with it. Here it is.

"Honey, I'm Home" - The Greatest Review!!!

We have just received our latest and Greatest review from The World's Greatest Critic, J.C. Macek III.

Allow us to share a story with you. When we seeking press on our previous film, Shoot-Out we contacted a slew of movie critics. We will never forget J.C. Macek's intial reply..

"It's my pleasure to review independent films, just so long as the makers respect the fact that my opinion will be honest and fair, and that it's understood that my writing style is primarily comical. In short, no hurt feelings intended."

Fair enough, as we wanted to hear what the World's Greatest had to say about our film. We figured even if he bashes our project, something good will come out of it. What was the verdict??? He loved "Shoot-Out!!!" He watched it many times over and provided us an amazing Review.

We do not bring up this story to toot our own horns, we bring it up because JC Macek III, who has seen thousands of films, is not an easy critic to please. If a film is poor it is going to be known, and if a film is great it will be praised. We love the way he writes and his comic style which leads to the question...

How did we fair this time around with our latest project, "Honey, I'm Home???"

Here are a couple of quotes from the review

"Worth every second of the viewing...a very unique film"

"Branin's still got a great way with the pen here, and his work feels fully thought out and well-imagined."

Don't stop there, you will want to read the entire review.

Emerging Artist's - Jordan Allen to perform at Kulak's Woodshed on July 26th!

Hello everyone...

We are performing at Kulak's Woodshed! It is a live acoustic music, singer songwriter listening room and pioneering multi-camera webcast recording studio. A Labor of Love created by Paul Kulak in November, 1999 operated by volunteers and funded by audience donations.

They serve no food or alcohol. The artists who perform there range from emerging independent talents to number one hit writers and Grammy winners.

It has a "living room" feel and is perfect to sit and listen to music. Coffee and tea is available ($1 donation) and parking is an absolute cinch.

I will be joined by some really talented musicians on this night, and I cannot express how magnificent this venue really is for all of us.

*Suggested donation is $5...this goes completely to support the work that Kulak's Woodshed does for independent musicians.

We hope you will join us...

Sincerely,

Jordan Allen, Kenwood Anderson, Keith Eaddy, Nancy Lawrence and
Jim Burt

Jacob Magnuson Receives Magnificent Review!!!

Forgive us if this is a little bit dated, but we have just come across this review.

Jacob Magnuson, star of "Honey, I'm Home" is also coming off his role as "Ed" in the theater production of Joe Salazar's "Free Bird" which concluded in May.

Debi Hall of Notes From Hollywood had this to say of Jacob.

"And where did he find Jacob Magnuson? What a diamond in the rough this superstar was!"

and she goes into more detail...

"Jacob Magnuson was stunning as Ed. He created relationships with the other characters that superceded a suspension of disbelief. It was clear to everyone in the audience that he was deeply committed to this role and performed it with heart and integrity. I believed every word he said and cared deeply about his life. His passion for Joe’s script filled everyone with tears by the end of the performance. It’s clear blue skies for Jacob as he climbs the ladder of success."

Here is the full article,

Early Press on "Honey" from Cinema Crazed!!!

Let us thank Felix Vasquez, Jr.and his sensational film site, Cinema Crazed for rolling out some early press on "Honey, I'm Home"

Here's a snippet of the write-up...

"From the gist, "Honey I'm Home" involves a man whose wife may or may not know that he's cheating on her, and from there, it gets awfully hazy. Director Branin is intent on keeping this project's details a mystery, which draws the interest of us at Cinema Crazed."

Here is the direct link - We Go Inside Honey I'm Home
