"A Friend of the Police" Debuts, Plus Woes for "A Bite of MyJobs."

     Just in time for Memorial Day, the all-new LEGO City Undercover and The Adventures of Legoman-inspired film, A Friend of the Police, officially debuted, marking the start of the summer season. "We are so excited to have this film out for Memorial Day," said Mark Matthew, CEO of LEGO Studios. "Considering that it takes the classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. character Legoman and pairs him up with the highly-popular Chase McCain, we are sure to have a winner on our hands." And that's not to say that the studio only expects a high turnout for viewership. "The critics say it's great," said Seth Masterson, host of The Film School Challenge. "The Nightly News at Nine, who is hosting the 'Police Show Contest,' which this is an entry for, gave the film praise, saying:
"Great work, an exceeding excellent entry!"
It's not much, but it shows the love that David M. Pickett, creator of The Nightly News At Nine, has for the film. Considering this comment is from the man who is running the contest for which this film is a part, I am certain that the LEGO Shop at Home gift card is mine! Sorry, just gloating a little." The film can now be viewed, which naturally has a 3-D version, here.
     However, next week's release, A Bite of MyJobs, may have to be delayed due to refining. "Our goal was to get this film done by May 31st, but that's starting to look like a long stretch. We could have the animating done by then, but having a final product on that date is a long stretch." Apparently, refinements were requested to make the film even better. While it is important to make the film its very best, meeting the deadline is starting to appear less likely as a result. As a result, A Bite of MyJobs may have to be delayed into the summer, though it will be done before the summer ends.
     Moving on to a more positive note, everything is ready for New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable and filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients is ready to continue, which is currently working at Great Zimbabwe. Be sure to check out New Friends at COC's student film showcase in May 31st, at 7:00 PM, in Hasley Hall 101. See you there!

The Year in Review: 2023

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 31, 2023)      As another year comes to a close, we're taking a look back over what happened this year. We were pretty quiet in the build-up to Twenty Years Young , but we did still have a substantial amount of content this past year. January     To kick off the new year,  Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story  was released on January 8. This tale of a hillbilly with overgrown hair and the campers who think that he's bigfoot was created for THAC 2023. While the film did not win any prizes, it did become just one of many entries in the record-breaking competition that will have you stomping with laughter. We also began an audit of the studio archives as part of a final push to finish content for Twenty Years Young , as well as geared up to plow through the projects planned for this year. February     One of those projects,  Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear , officially debuted on February 1! This special project r

Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding
