THANK YOU Pasadena International Film Festival for the Best Director Nomination! We are SO excited just to be a part of an amazing festival.
Huge thank you to the festival directors!
Danger! Danger! made its Wold Debut at PIFF this last weekend and it was wonderful to watch the film on the big screen and go on one last adventure (and escape) with everyone. The magic of movies!
We are so grateful to everyone who was able to make it out to the Danger! Danger! Premiere. Especially now with all of the theaters in Los Angles closing down for the time being and film festivals being cancelled. We’ve been joking that Danger! Danger! may have been the last film to play before the dark times.
Here’s a look at the evening with some wonderful photos from the red carpet!
We are SO excited to unveil our second feature film, DANGER! DANGER! this weekend. The film however is SOLD OUT. As a matter of fact the film has sold out TWICE today. We actually moved the screening to a larger theater only to sell out minutes later. We’re of course extremely bummed that we’re not able to get everyone in that wants to attend - but on the other hand it is pretty cool to sell out!

As the year wraps up (and the decade!) we wanted to share The Making of Danger! Danger!
We worked with an amazing Cast and Crew this last summer on our second feature film, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this!
Production Design is so important to any film. On our first film, The West and the Ruthless, we wanted the film to have an authentic look - meaning real guns, real boots, real stagecoaches. For Danger! Danger! we wanted the look to feel a bit more 1980s action-adventure movie. Something that could have come from Mad Max or Aliens. We worked with Steel Gohst, who was already creating amazing weaponry like this to bring the guns to life.
For the skeletons and cadavers in Danger! Danger! we wanted a Temple of Doom feeling. Something so over the top, that they’re part of the adventure.
We worked with Dapper Cadaver, who had previously worked on Stranger Things and films like Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest and Jurassic World, on these effects.
Speaking of spacesuits, we also worked with the brilliant folks over at Global Effects, who had just wrapped Ad Astra and First Man. We were able to use these authentic NASA replicas and bring our own “One Eyed Willie” moment in the film to life and have it look amazing.
Locations and Sets are extremely important to us when we’re making a film. With both of our feature films, The West and the Ruthless and Danger! Danger! the locations are essentially one of the characters. In The West and the Ruthless, we wanted a world that felt dirty, and gritty, and lived in. We found the perfect location at Old Tucson Studios that also made the film feel huge.
For Danger! Danger! we wanted to harken back to the films of the 1980s that made us want to become filmmakers. The locations needed to have that adventurous and sci-fi spirit of the 80s, but also feel dangerous and epic. The stages at Laurel Canyon Studios made us feel like we were on the set of Aliens and Vasquez Rocks (the home of so many Star Trek films, the Planet of the Apes, and so many others!) were the perfect settings.
