We had a blast putting together this Twin Peaks-themed music video for our buddies in Spy vs Spy! Nothing like hanging out with great people and having lots of fun.

"Be Kind. Rewind" is featured on the debut EP from Spy vs Spy available now: https://spy-vs-spy.bandcamp.com https://facebook.com/spyvsspyrocks Shot on locat...

Just like Bandcamp, we're donating 100% of our proceeds to the ACLU. If you haven't picked up the Dead Weight score yet, today's a great time to do so.

If you don't want the score, we strongly encourage you to search Bandcamp for something that brings joy to your eardrums.

Two weeks ago, our buddy and Oshkosh native Adrian Mulloy was on AMC's Comic Book Men. He was good enough to bring some HTP films for the dudes. Check out Michael Zapcic giving us some love.

Thanks, Adrian!

Many thanks to Caitlin Claire Studio for featuring me on their blog! I even mention how terrible I am at posting on here (which is so true).

Time to drop some news - I'm jumping on board as editor on Sixx Tape's newest short, THE STYLIST.

Head over to their page for updates on the film!

We just received some insanely awesome concept art from our buddy, James Boyle. Of course, we can't show you because it's top secret, but you can get a good idea of how talented he is by checking out his page.

We met Jim (as we like to call him) at Philly Comic Con in 2012 (while we were promoting Dead Weight), as we were table neighbors. We quickly became friends, and we're stoked as hell to be working with him.

We've been quiet on these social media things. Don't be fooled, though! Multiple HTP projects are in talks for 2015. Stay tuned!

Schplatz merch is now up for pre-order!

What is Schplatz? Schplatz is the "official," albeit fictitious, crappy beer of Head Trauma Productions. Charlie and Samantha drink it at the bar in Dead Weight, as does Anonymous in Pity. Schplatz will make an appearance, one way or another, in every HTP film.

We're having some fun by printing these shirts and hoodies, but they're also helping us out. All proceeds will assist with film festival submission fees for PITY.

Shirts and hoodies will be up for pre-order until Thursday, November 6th. They'll still be available after that, but we'll be doing a small run, so this the sure fire way to get one.

Items will ship in early/mid December. If you live in Oshkosh, I'll reimburse you the shipping when you order, and drop off your order.

Order here! http://headtraumaproductions.bigcartel.com/

So, PITY's going to Spain (full announcement soon), but as I'm prepping the spanish subtitles, why not rock one of my favorite Clash tunes?
