The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

    By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; October 1, 2024)      Did you know that our most-watched film is NOT Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo ? It's actually the horror-comedy film Forest of Fear , which first debuted in 2011 to polarizing opinions, but also to strong viewership. Since then, the film has spawned its own sequel, a spin-off film, an in-development prequel, an in-universe travel guide, and a special project that turns the film's locale into a functioning theme park land! Since there's so much to cover in this corner of the cinematic universe, we're devoting an entire month to the town of Howling Hollow! The Harrowing Howling Hollow : What to Expect for October      Howling Hollow was originally designed to be a creepy hillbilly town but has really grown into a living, breathing place with its own history and community! This month may not completely cover the town, but here's everything that's ...

Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear  is Having a Multi-Part Story Reveal for Two Weeks!      Over the last several months, the project has seen sporadic updates to the back-story of the land, as well as the layout and the characters, the latter of which were just revealed to celebrate Halloween. Now, starting today, the project blog is going to have daily updates for the next two weeks that will walk you through the main story of the land by way of the interactive game HowlSpace: The Howling Hollow Messaging App , which includes in-depth looks at each location as they become relevant in the said game. This includes any important background info, who operates each location, how...

Headquarters; November 28, 2022)     With just a few weeks left in the year, we have some big project news to share, including the release of a brand-new film! Speeder  Has Been Released!      After several delays, years of development, and spending 5 years as "being canceled," Speeder  has finally been released!

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 28, 2020)     Well, none can deny that this was one wild and rough year (not even The Undeniable Neighbor from The Citizen of the Year ), and while there was much strife, we also were able to use this time to re-evaluate ourselves and look to the future.  In addition, while the lock-downs slowed down some of our projects, it also put us in a place to re-establish our presence online and help us to rebuild our audience after losing it from 2017 to 2019. While we can't cover everything that happened, here's all of the highlights from this year. January      We started the year, not knowing what was going to happen, with a retrospective of our first full calendar decade of existence! We started by quickly covering the release of Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile  in 2010 and the slew of releases between then and 2013, including the legendary New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable , ...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; October 30, 2020)     With the year beginning to reach its conclusion, We have not one, but two very special releases today! Here is everything that you need to know. The Employee of the Month  Has Been Released!      It's almost time for Septemberfest to end (in October), so that means our own entry to Septemberfest 2020, The Employee of the Month , is now here! The story is similar to the film being celebrated, The Citizen of the Year , but with some notable differences. Also, this film, being a celebratory film, has a special surprise ending! You can watch the entire film here or on our website . Cities That You Must Absolutely, Positively, Stay Out of to Avoid Being Eaten Alive!!!  Has Been Released!     Just in time for Halloween, the new companion book to Forest of Fear , Cities That You Must Absolutely, Positively, Stay Out of to Avoid Being Eaten Alive!!!  has be...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; October 26, 2020)     For fans of the late MMORPG LEGO Universe , it might be hard to believe that ten years have passed since the game's debut. But that is the case, so we're celebrating in our own special way! First Teaser Released for Legends of the Universe !     For the grand finale for Project U, we're producing our own film based upon LEGO Universe , and that film, titled Legends of the Universe , now has its first-ever trailer! Beyond one small shot that shares a set from Alpha Team: Mission Deep Jungle , filming on this movie has yet to start, so this trailer celebrates what this movie is all about in a different way: heroes. This montage trailer cements in the idea that this film will cross over nearly every past production of ours for Project U's last chapter. You can watch the trailer via the embedded video above. New Release Timeframe for Rest of Project U Coming in 2021!     F...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; February 23, 2018)      It's no secret that Art Demonstration Show  is not popular at all. Because of that, this show has been cancelled. We've also got more news coming up, so read on! "Art Demonstration Show" Is No More!      Throughout its run, Art Demonstration Show  has only piqued the interest of a handful of fans per episode. We don't have the exact metrics for this disinterest, but we suspect that this show strayed too far away from what people want to see from us. Because of this, there will be no more episodes of Art Demonstration Show  released, including the planned how to draw episodes. In the coming weeks, a new channel trailer will be made to replace the existing one. However, the three existing episodes will remain online. Is "Forest of Fear 2" a Possibility?      Recently, we got this question from a new fan, who left it in the commen...

In the past, we would only respond to questions formatted as such, but no more! We want to address your concerns, no matter what they may be, so this change we feel is for the better!

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; October 24, 2016)      With Halloween around the corner, we would like to share a new update. Let's get started!      First off, the end of round 6 of auditions ends on November 30, with a guarantee that all of the characters being introduced with The Third Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards  have actors attached to them. In order to get these parts filled, we will be posting casting calls to both Bricks in Motion and the Casting Call Club right before Halloween.      In other news, a new wiki page, Baron Von Stuka Jr., was published today for your enjoyment. Look at it by clicking here . With this page comes new official canon changes that directly connect our Indiana Jones fan films to A Future in the Past , among other things.

By: Andrew Bermudez (LEGO Studios; September 1, 2015)      Today we bring you another 'Ask Mark Matthew,' containing 100% new material! Let's get started! Fabiano writes:   Will alpha team deep in the jungle be just a comic like the teaser or no and also did u change the title from deep city to jungle plz respond thank you Mark: First, the only part of Alpha Team: Mission Deep Jungle  that will be done in comic book format is the opening that is shown in the teaser. The rest will be stop-motion animation, which is very briefly seen in the teaser, but will be showcased heavily in a future trailer. Second, Alpha Team: Mission Deep Jungle  was never going to feature a city setting. You might be mixing this film up with Alpha Team: Mission Deep City , which is expected to be released in 2017. New Lego Studios Productions writes:  is it a coincidence that star wars episode VII will come out that day [December 18]? Mark: Yes. Initially, our...
