     Have you heard? Our multi-month website overhaul is now finished! Read on for all of the details!

Website Overhaul Complete!

     Over the last three months, we have been working extensively on a two-phase re-working of our website and network, allowing for easier navigation and better legibility. Today, that project is now complete, allowing our fans to navigate our content with ease! For those of you who were unaware, here is everything that is new from both phases.

Phase 1:
  • Every page regarding an individual product of ours has been updated with a dark blue column to fix all legibility issues. The trailers were lumped under "Extras" and the actual film itself (if it is a film) can now be accessed via an all-new "Play Movie" button.
  • All of these pages also have a new section titled "Suggested." This section contains links to pages regarding content that you might like if you enjoyed that page's content.
  • On the navigation pages, all of the buttons have been converted to banners, so that they all have a unified look. Any films that were inaccessible before due to the lack of a poster are now accessible via that film's banner. All of these pages are also now arranged alphabetically.
  • Pages for shows have been overhauled to make navigating episodes easier! Each season of a show is now an easy-to-navigate gallery, with each episode being that episode's thumbnail. Clicking the arrow next to Next or Previous will allow you to see more episodes.
  • The home page is now even bigger! If you scroll past "About Us," you will find an "Explore" section, which allows you to browse most of our library of content, organized based on popular categories. At the bottom is a selection of popular works of ours, selected based on YouTube view counts and audience reception.
Phase 2:
  • Every page regarding an individual product of ours was updated to begin with important information regarding the content in question, including running time, genre, MPAA rating, and more. The "Play Movie" buttons were also tweaked to make them more noticeable.
  • Temporary banners for Alms Pouch and our upcoming films were replaced with permanent ones.
  • Episodes of Backstage Showcase were added to the pages for content that those episodes pertain to.
  • The auditions were overhauled, including the previously-announced reopening of certain roles and updating of character designs. The pages were also enhanced to allow for a more seamless auditioning experience by using Google Drive.
  • Both this press room and the official wiki were updated visually to match the look of the website.
For now, we feel fairly confident about the design of our website, but we will take a look later on to see if any further changes need to be made. Until then, we have other news to share.

"Pharaoh's Quest" in its Final Weeks of Production!
     In spite of the recent suspension of media visits due to the spread of coronavirus, our current major production, Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra, is ready to be completed! As mentioned before, we are not allowed to share photos of the last set, but we are expecting to have production wrapped by the end of next week! We'll share some big news relating to the film when that time arrives.

New Studio Construction Update!
     For the new studio, foundation work is just about done for all of the structures, as survey markers are already in place to denote the locations of all of the future buildings. Once Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra finishes production, it is expected that vertical construction on the actual buildings will begin. The new studio is expected to be completed around December 2020.

Lead Out
     With these great projects now done or coming to a close, we have a lot of new content for our fans to enjoy! Stay tuned for even more new announcements!

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
