FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

I am pretty sure a night with fat monster films may look like this...

There's a little more than Caribou going around...lol.

For the feature film "Making 02' , Steve Buscemi is pre-booked for my part.

Alright, no more outta me. See yas when it's over.
 
Raptor, I don't think I ever got to tell you how much I appreciate everything you've done for us. This thing was a blast and I hope you had some fun as well. You kick serious ass dude.

Tim.
 
Good morning filmmakers! We are stocking up the Fat Monster fridge in anticipation of a long night of watching TimeFest entries this week. Bullis will be in town so we will be at full strength. Rumor has it that we may all go to the Fat Monster satellite bunker (Luis's house) this time. Stay tuned all you west coast denizens and we'll announce accordingly.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to talk a little bit about our Nebraska connections, which have become very important to Fat Monster. Many of you know that Kyle Stebbins is a charter Monster who has been studying film out on the plains in Lincoln, Nebraska. Kyle has flown out for the majority of our productions and we have come to depend on him. His good friend Alex Jeffery came out to shoot with us a couple years ago (and he actually played a fireman in a performance that has become a cult favorite from TTN) and many of you know Alex from his own projects here on DVXUSER. This year Alex jumped in on short notice in the middle of the night to create a title sequence for us. We didn't realize that Matty G. had already animated the title but, Alex, we're going to use your sequence as part of a post-fest website by the way. Anyway, it was his willingness to come to the aid of the monster that we will always remember.

Another interesting Nebraska connection occurred with regard to our opening sequence. When you see the film you'll be aware of a radio broadcast during the first scene. That broadcaster is none other than John Marquis of Ogallala, Nebraska. John has over three decades of experience in working in every facet of broadcasting, including operations, programming, executive management, being an on-air personality and training. I went to high school with John and when we decided at the last minute to add a radio broadcast I , of course, called him.

John went down to his station and recorded our program and uploaded it the next day via the net. We used royalty-free music and John made up the patter in his broadcast using names of guys he and I grew up with back in the late 70's. So the great state of Nebraska will always be a favored location for Fat Monster strictly because of the internet.

Speaing of the net, I should mention that my friend John was fooling around one day trying to make an old barbershop fragrance called "Bay Rum." He apparently remembered it from his dad and when he couldn't find it he set about researching how to make it. He made a few bottles in his basement and sold them to friends and started a website mainly as a lark. He now has 30+ items and just got word that his products are being picked up by the Duluth Trading Company and will be included in their next catalog. John says he's probably going to finally leave radio and work full time on his burgeoning Bay Rum empire!: http://www.ogallalabayrum.com/
 
Ummm BBQ!! You know how us Texans love our BBQ!

Gratz on the film again good Sir! Hopefully next fest you can depend on Waco connections, not only me, but the rest of my gang out here! I'll drink to the fest finally over!

Cheers!

Rogan

ps I let the cat outta the bag... *look down*
 
Once again, I can't thank Mark and Tim enough for taking me in to FAT MONSTER with such open arms. I am humbled and honor to be a part of this family!!!!

I will be setting up the Living room with a projector and hopefully my 5.1 surround sound system for this glorious event. More details to come.......

Hey Frank, Simon has been boasting how his film is going to destroy yours. He posted this yesterday:
NO AIR is going to clean UNZEIT's clock. Frank is going to be coming to Cologne to study film after this fest.

Yeah, he's not the only one who will be bashed. You're next in line. From the picture of your spaceship I found, I can tell that my Intro alone is better than your whole film :D

Mark, I want to apologize to you. Your film is definitely going to kick my film's ass. In fact, my film is right now cowering in the corner shaking like a little girl because it knows O2 is going to own it. By the time the screenings are done my only goal is to not be banned forever from the forum. Please people. Hate the message - not the messenger. Thank you.

Simon, you are a gentleman and there is nothing to be ashamed of for making a film that sucks. We have done that many times ourselves. So you go ahead and suck proudly Simon! ...
 
Suck proudly... that sounds.. err... wrong :D

But I have to admit that I am really looking forward to O2! It's going to kick ass and "No Air" won't be any competition at all for you. No worries.

I learned alot and thats all what counts and I am still proud of my film. This fest truly was/is a blast!

I wish you the best Fat Monsters! I will have a drink on you for this entertaining thread :beer:

PS. Our Films are still not yet approved, damn it...
 
Because you have been so kind and nice, I am going to make arrangements for your film to be approved soon, Simon. No need to thank me. I'm just that kind of guy.
