Adrian Make Movie Trailers

Well you've seen the reels here's some completely awesome trailers and more for some of the films we've produced. I hope you enjoy and if you are interested in getting a screener of any of these films please feel free to contact us at adrianmakemovie@gmail.com.

Hürtgenwald Trailer from Noe Medrano Jr. on Vimeo.

Please checkout the rest of Noe's videos on Vimeo, if there is such a thing as a man behind the curtain, well that's Noe, Hurtgenwald was his narrative debut short. If ever get a chance to see it on the big screen it is a truly awesome experience. One of the most cinematically meditative films I seen from a friend and collaborator. I think Noe has shot or lit everyone of my narratives. Become a fan on facebook to find out about upcoming screenings and support this incredible film.

Sleet/Snow Trailer from Daniel Laabs on Vimeo.

What can I say I think this is the third trailer we've posted, more good news will be announced as soon as I can on this project.

Aaron Holloway's latest short film was produced in association with Adrian Make Movie, but technically is a Manamal Production, and it won Audience Choice and Best Narrative at the UnderExposed 7 Film Festival. We are still in post on this one, but hopefully we'll be in a place where can start submitting to festivals very soon! Become a fan and find out news about upcoming screenings at the good ol' facebook!

Gillface from David McGinnis on Vimeo.

I guess this is the creme de la creme of embeds, this is the full version of David McGinnis' Award Winning Musical Short Gillface. Join the good fight and become a fan for Aquatic Americans young and old on... facebook.




Indeed this very first short produced by Adrian Make Movie, originally intended to be straight forward narrative short, but ended up becoming a test shoot for the film that ultimately became "sleet/snow." As rare as the screenings are comparatively to films like Gillface and sleet/snow, become a fan and get updated with news, although subscribing to this blog's RSS might be the easiest thing now that I think it, but support it anyways. North Street will be online in full by the end of the month.

One of the first films I produced, this is another in association with Manamal Productions sort of deals, but I helped write and I produced it, so by my count it is Adrian Make Movie as well. This is also presented in full

Lastly I am doing this in part because June is our one year anniversary for Adrian Make Movie and it has been both an exciting and pretty successful first year, with films playing at SXSW, AFI Dallas, Fearless Film Festival, Reality Bites, Texas Black Film Festival, and UnderExposed 7. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can celebrate?

Hot/Cold... is "warming" up...

Daniel is posting...

As per usual, a day working with Frank and Robby was very insightful. We were doing some last minute location scouting, which is always frightening, because things have to go well. But I think things went better than I had expected. We are almost ready to make a movie. As much as I like to just Produce, I am switching into AD mode for the shoot and this week is well the week before the shoot. So my mind is going everywhere trying to make sure I am confident about ever aspect of our two shooting days this weekend. I am very proud of this project and am lucky I get to be such a big part of it.

It is pretty crazy to jump in to straight between two shoots, knowing that swimming through only leads to a larger ocean of work and production. I drove past Caves on the way to one of the locations we were looking at today and I was remembering back when I would've gone for a beer on Memorial Day a few years ago. I would've sat at the bar during happy hour and talked about how I wanted to make movies. I'd talk about crazy ideas involving Werewolves or Aliens, but instead of making that happen I sat there on the barstool enjoying what I thought at the time was a deserved rest. Now I spend almost everyday working toward production or on a production of a friends. It has been a nonstop ride since AFI ended and I think I starting to get back into it. After Post Production on Sleet/Snow I was completely drained, I had directed and finished 8 films in 2008 (Sleet/Snow was the last), and that feeling I can now say is over.

That said there are also a ton of films I want to see this Summer and I have picked up at least one job to fund my getting to see them all so I can report about them here. In no particular order they are; Summer Hours, Lorna's Silence, World's Greatest Dad, Revenche, UP (which will be the first PIXAR film I will have ever seen in a theater), Paper Heart, and all the big uns (which I won't write about instead I will probably talk obsessively about to anyone in my close proximity... sorry in advance).

Also Lemon is moving towards a big step, will update soon. Also Coming soon is an Adrian Make Movie DVD, hopefully featuring all of the shorts made with Adrian Make Movie Productions... more on that soon as well, don't forget to come out and support our sister company Manamal Productions' 24hr Video Race film, which I co-wrote/directed, "Sweet Potatoes" this Tuesday 7pm at the Angelika Dallas.

STAGED READING of "HOT/COLD"

Oh, I'm involved in this, me Daniel, if you are a reader of this blog you are invited to come and check this out. It is going to be very cool. Here's the nitty-gritty or more-so the press release for the event.



HOT/COLD is a short film in development from award-winning filmmaker Frank Mosley, an Arlington, Texas resident whose love for film and theater has collided for this one-night only event. Fresh off his first feature film, HOLD, due out this summer, Mosley has returned to the passion project that has long eluded him. To help jumpstart this production, he hopes this live performance might ignite public interest and provide a whole new perspective into the evolution of a single project.

Four Day Weekend Theater of Fort Worth, located in the heart of Sundance Square, is hosting a staged reading of Mosley’s latest script about disillusionment, loneliness, choice, and responsibility. It will be an entertaining and unique kind of fundraiser that hopes to secure some money for producing the film this summer. Although there is no admission fee, Mosley hopes that even the smallest donation will help produce the vision that this minimalist theater production alludes to.

The reading, narrated by drama instructor Jennifer Mazza-Nguyen, will be acted by cast members Danielle Pickard, Crystal Pate, Morgana Shaw, and John Elliott. The film’s composer, Fort Worth musician Clint Niosi, fresh off his hit album, “The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders”, will be performing a live “first draft” of the film’s score to accompany the actors. Fort Worth photographer Paul Leicht has also taken a series of portraits and abstracts that will be projected on three background screens as a commanding triptych to round out this aural experience.

Mosley will speak on behalf of himself and his producers Robby Storey and Daniel Laabs to illustrate the potential pinnacle this film will take on once funding is successfully raised. He hopes to submit the finished film to both national and international festivals, and also present an alternate, “one-long-take only” installation version of the tale to galleries and museums across Texas.

Any further inquiries will be contacted with an online, full-color press packet for circulation and interest.
This night will also be taped by filmmaker and writer Shaun Hamill for his latest documentary, both a chronicle on the making of HOT/COLD, as well as a meditative investigation into the creative and collaborative process.

So, join us for a fun night of theater and cinema, of sight and sound, where you, as an audience, can help put the finishing brushstrokes on this canvas, filling in the gaps as both spectator and curator. We hope you enjoy it.

There will be two performances, one at 7:30 pm and the other at 9 pm, on the evening of Tuesday, April 14th. Please join us in the lobby afterwards for drinks and discussion.
