DANGER! DANGER! First Clip!
DANGER! DANGER! First Clip!

Danger! Danger! has been SO MUCH FUN. Period. It’s the first time we’ve ever had the chance to work on a project and say things like “should we go more Indiana Jones with that???” “Should this feel more like Star Wars???”

That said, we’re over the moon to release the first of 4 clips from the film! 

This is the moment where our adventurers (and villains) first enter the secret temple. And who doesn’t love secret temples? As a filmmaker that grew up loving 80s adventure movies, this was a dream come true. 

Danger! Danger! is the second feature film by Nick + Lexie Trivundza and stars Benedict Mazurek, Paul Haapaniemi, Angela Smeraldi, Alexandra Keller, Alexander Harris, and Matt Boone.

That’s a wrap on Danger! Danger!
Danger Danger Martini Take Web.jpg

We just wrapped production on Danger! Danger! our next feature film. It was the most amazing and hardest thing we’ve ever done. And when I say hard, I mean it, but it was also the adventure of a lifetime. 

Growing up, the most exciting thing we could think of was to grow to be filmmakers working on films like Indiana Jones and exploring lost temples. Or driving time traveling DeLoreans in Back to the Future. Or finding forgotten Pirate Ships like the Goonies. 

The thing that I never expected though, was to have the opportunity to work with such an AMAZING Cast and Crew. One that joined in on those experiences and came along on those adventures with us. Everyone who worked on Danger! Danger! gave 1000 percent. Not because they had to, but because, like us, love making movies. 

It’s an experience that will stay with us forever.

AND we cannot wait to begin sharing Danger! Danger! with everyone else!

Location Scouting - Completed!

We’ve COMPLETED a years long mission to find locations for each of our upcoming film projects! When we produced The West and the Ruthless, the amount of production value that Old Tucson Studios brought to the film was priceless. Not only for it’s amazing backlot, buildings, and production design, but also for the people that worked there - which is one of the most important aspects of any project (that’s why we have more projects we’re hoping to bring back to Tucson!)

That said, some stories aren’t westerns or set in the desert. So you have to travel the world looking for Alien Planets, Victorian Backlots, 1950s Motels, Jungles, and Post-Apocalyptic wastelands. 

Here’s a sneak peak at a recent scout. Is that a space ship? Yes. yes it is.

We’ve also had the chance to hang out at Disney, Paramount, Diamond V, Middleton Movie Ranch, Rancho Deluxe, and SO many more!

Location Scouting - Mission (ALMOST) Accomplished!

We’re SO excited to be almost finished with a BIG mission. Over the last few years we’ve been location scouting like crazy. We’ve been around the world and back and hung out at some of the coolest studios in the world, including a few right down the street. Every time it’s like visiting a different world. 

Not every location works, but when it does, it’s amazing to find the place your story can come to life. 

Here’s one of our most recent scouts!
