LEFT HOOK is Here!

5/19/2020

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay on the blog post. With everything else we had to do, it took me a while to get here. It's been an exhausting couple of days to say the least. However, now we can say...

It's official! LEFT HOOK is now available to rent or own on VHX (Vimeo OTT)! The rental lasts for 3 days and runs for $5. The "own" version is $10 and comes with bonus features (commentary, a documentary, alternate opening). For those who have been following the project, you know it's been a labor of love for the past three years. We're glad it is finally out. So far, a majority of those who have seen it seem to have enjoyed it.
With the release has come a few other interesting things.

Upon revisiting my previous posts, it doesn't look like I talked about this before. So I'll cover them both here! So far we have done two episodes of a companion show called DIRECTOR VS. In this series, I take on members of the crew from LEFT HOOK in different fighting games. In the first one, I face David Wayne Young in Mortal Kombat XL and in the newest episode, I take on Beth in Dragon Ball FighterZ. These are available on IGTV and Facebook. They should be easy to find on each of those pages, but I will try to make a spot for them on this site as well. Again, I've been busy.

Finally, we capped things off with a launch party live stream on our Facebook page. The stream featured David Young, Jacob Aaron Cullum (lead voice actor) and I. We played games, Jacob played a song and then we wrapped it up with a bit of Q&A. It was a lot of fun and it had a better turn out than expected. We did have a couple technical issues throughout the night so the stream ended up getting a little split apart. Luckily, I got all the different pieces and put them all into one complete video. I'll go ahead and attach that below.
All in all, it's been a good time. There is still more to come in the future for LEFT HOOK. Not much, but a little bit, like a decent amount. We'll keep you updated as it all happens. As for now, we'll be jumping back to some of our other projects. Catch ya next time!

LEFT HOOK Coming MAY 16TH!

It's official, everyone! LEFT HOOK will be making its online debut on May 16th!

We will be making the film available to rent or own on VHX (Vimeo OTT) and Reelhouse. If you choose to purchase the movie it will be accompanied by a 20-minute behind the scenes documentary, a feature commentary and an alternate opening. We're excited to launch this thing and for all of you to see it. We may branch out to other services in the future if the opportunity arises. For now we are focusing on these two.

We also plan to do a little stream on Facebook that evening to celebrate the launch. Specific details will be posted later once everything is all sorted out.
It goes without saying that this was a painstaking decision to be made. Even with stay-at-home orders being lifted, audiences and festivals alike are hesitant to jump back into theater crowds. It's understandable. As of right now, we still plan to follow through with our currently announced festival appearances if and when they happen. We've lost several great opportunities to the world's current situation and it really does suck. In a perfect world, we would have had our full festival run first and then released online later in the year. It became clear this month that it wouldn't be an option. We do have a couple more screening opportunities that we are currently hold onto but are waiting to announce. Who knows what could happen between now and then. ​Any fests we are currently waiting to hear back from may decide to slim down their schedules or cancel all together. The uncertainty was a big part of our decision. If anything, we figure giving everyone the chance to watch it from home during all of this is the best option at this time. If you told me that a year ago, I would have laughed you out of the room.

We'll be back with more news in the coming weeks. Hope everyone is excited to see this. I can't help but be excited to show it to you.

Update 5/3: Originally our post said the stream would be on Instagram. We have changed it over to our Facebook page.
