Fish and Cherries Productions

Wow… it’s been WAY too long. Naturally, I have a lot of catching up to do. But I know what you’ve all really been waiting for…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Oh, and here are the films I’ve been sitting on for a while. Now that I’ve got a bit of a rhythm with my job, I’m hoping to be more consistent with my releases.

The Circle
Jesus, Bro!
Power Rangers

Wow.

I mean wow.

$6,176 raised for The Fire Truck Who Got Lost.

That is over triple the goal and I don’t know how to really express my gratitude. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Bringing Barnabus the fire truck to life has been a real journey and you have definitely helped it move along. It’s hard for me to believe that my first official book is going to be published to the world. I’m excited, Amber the artist is excited, our families are excited, and you can bet that Barnabus and company are excited.

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. The holiday was the reason I didn’t post a Snippet yesterday, but I’m going to make it up next week, possibly even give you a Classic Snippet tomorrow. For now, it’s back to the grindstone for all of us.

What’s on my mind this week? Ohhhhhhhhhh… a LOT!

First of the two big announcements. My Zootopia Reel Snippet got republished on Culture Sonar! That’s right, my signal is spreading wider and I owe it to all of you (though my dad gets special mention for reaching out). Click here, read it again, and give these folks some traffic.

Next… drum roll please… I’ve taken to Indiegogo to help fund a children’s book that I wrote! And it made its goal in two days!

Let me back up and explain. For the past year, my friend and I have been collaborating on a children’s book called The Fire Truck Who Got Lost. I wrote the story and my friend did the artwork. We finally got it to a good place and we’re ready to work on production and distribution. Since both of us are kinda broke, though, we decided to take to crowdfunding — the modern American way of business.

We set a modest goal of $2000 — just enough to get layout done and print a few copies — but lo and behold, we got so much support that we made it on the second day of our 45-day campaign. We were positively gobstruck, but now we’re coming back swinging with a stretch goal. We’re hoping that donors will help us get past $4,000 so we can donate some copies to children’s libraries or possibly the kid’s section of my hometown’s local fire truck museum.

If you have some free time, please follow this link to the Indiegogo page. It would be really great if my fans could donate even a little bit so we can spread this book farther and farther. If you can’t donate, that’s okay. You can play a part by sending it around to friends and families, particularly those that have toddlers, and get the word out.

This has been a really big couple of weeks. Everything’s coming up Colin! Here’s hoping for even more good news.

Hey, everypeoples. It’s that time again where I boost the signal for a crowdfunding campaign. This time, though, it’s different. I’m not pushing for a celebrity or creator that has influenced my childhood. I’m trying to support an artist that I know personally that has some mad musical chops. Ladies, gents, and everyone in-between, I introduce you to Flight of Fire.

The lead vocalist, who goes by Maverick (which is her actual last name, not an awesome pseudonym), lived down the hall from me in the dorms of UC Santa Cruz and while we didn’t always hang out, we had some good times when we did. After Santa Cruz, I lost touch with her, only to find that she started her own all-girl rock band called Flight of Fire. I’ve got to say, from what I’ve heard, I’m impressed. They’ve got a sound that harkens back to the classic rock era, when your Rushes, Led Zeppelins, and Dios ruled the world. It’s a refreshing sound to have back and I think they deserve more attention.

That’s where we come in. As of now, they’ve gone to Kickstarter to help fund their new concept album, Path of the Phoenix. (Yeah, if it wasn’t obvious, Phoenix is kind of their motif.) The whole thing is said to be a story of the rise, fall, and rebirth of an aspiring artist, making it almost like a rock opera. Now there’s something that has sadly been absent from the mainstream as of late. They want to make the album and perform it live in Boston, but they need our help to do it. Check out their Kickstarter page here for more information. If you want to know more about them, check out their website and their Soundcloud and see these up and coming rock artists in their prime.

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for. You cried. You raged. You demanded your money back. And now I’m lighting the fires of war one last time. Without further ado, my Top 9 Worst Movies of 2015.
