Lend me your eyeballs! As part of our campaign to make our status in the US more permanent (so we can make movies and tv shows) we need to win awards, so on very short notice we submitted our intro for the Kasho Shears promo video to the Telly Awards People’s Choice category. Please vote! I will put you in our next movie! Click: the Kasho Intro. Vote now. Vote often. Vote awesome.
As some background, our company exists in several guises (these websites are all in various stages of construction, so bear with me):
Fuel Education centers around Chris Baran and exists to further his brand and promote principle based hair education. His system has influenced the careers of hundreds of thousands of hairdressers all over the world. My role is in business development, copy editing, graphics, managing web dev, post-production audio, and lighting and shooting on the day.
Cut Action Media is specifically the production arm of that company, catering to video production in the beauty industry. It’s comprised of Lee Baran, Steve French, and myself. Lee directs and produces, Steve handles location sound, much of the editing, some of the post audio, and mans a camera when needed. I light and shoot, lead web dev, and head up the post audio department. We are aggressively looking to expand our client list and our team – the sooner we can get Lee off the edit desk, the sooner we can hit the next level.
Lee and I are also in the midst of designing an app in cooperation with some fine Italian folk. This division of the company has the working title Plickable Apps (making our app “a plickable” app, you see?) and by our estimates, it has the potential to comfortably provide for all our retirements. This app is that awesome. It’s also going to cost about $125,000 to develop. And that’s version 1.0. If you know any VCs, send them my way. All this sexy beast needs is marketing.
Chaos Complex is Lee Baran, Matt Kennedy, and me. This hive of creativity is the entertainment. We are currently shopping a pilot script and series bible for a show called Almost Broken. It’s very good. And the primary and secondary potential of the key components are irresistible. We think this show will make TV history. We also have two other series and at least as many features in progress.
If you’re still with me, it may have occurred to you that the Kasho clip seems like Cut Action Media territory, even though we submitted it as Chaos Complex. You a sharp one. Our long term plan is to apply for permanent residency with a business plan as Chaos Complex, and winning awards (and other positive press) looks golden on this sort of application.
