Give a Warm Welcome to "The Happiness Fund," Our THAC XVIII Entry!

 By: Andrew Bermudez

(Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; January 10, 2021)

    After a nice, long Christmas break, we're all back to work! And to start it all off, we've just released a brand-new film! Here's all of the details.

The Happiness Fund Marks Our THAC XVIII Entry!

    It has only been two weeks since the release of Patrick: The Movie, and we've already released another film!?! It's true, The Happiness Fund was created in its entirety yesterday for THAC XVIII! It's a wonderful way to start off the new year, and while this year is filled with both uncertainty and hope, we aim to go in strong, with this film being a testament to that! In this film, a man by the name of Murphy Flint only cares about himself, so when he gets the idea to fill his life with the greatest luxuries that money can buy, reality is about to catch up to him! Soon, he'll learn that there's some things money can't buy. You can watch the film now on either our website, or right here as an embedded video!

Join Our Team in a Brand-New Way!

    Along with the release of The Happiness Fund, we've also updated our website for anyone who wants to work with us on our films. Expanding beyond (and still including) acting auditions, we have a new page titled "Join Our Team," which invites our audience to become directors, animators, composers, editors, and so much more! Also lumped in here is a new destination for anyone who wants to join our story team. This is our first step in building upon last year's website update, which will be covered in full next month on 2/1/21. Until then, click here (server error, see below for details) and see if there are any roles that you would be interested in applying for!

NOTICE: Currently, it appears that this section of our website is designated as restricted to casual users. We are currently working on a solution that should have it viewable by next weekend.

1/11/2021 UPDATE: The issue seemed to be a lot simpler than we thought (the server was just misinterpreting the page's content), so now this part of our website is now up and running. You can take a look right here.

Expanding Our Outreach: Come See Us Expand Our Presence!

    This year, as part of our move to build ourselves back up better than before, we're going to reach out of our own bubble on the online network and invite others to come see our work. For too long, we've had a "Build it and they will come" mentality, which as we've mentioned back in 2019 had the opposite effect (combined with a lack of output). This year, we're going to be sharing our films where we feel others would be able to appreciate it, and here are our plans to do so.

• On January 1, 2022, we're going to retire our Vimeo Channel, as it has received no attention, especially since 2015. All links going there will be retired September 1, 2021.
• Effective immediately, we're going to post almost daily on our Facebook Page to encourage our audience to explore our network.
• On 2/1/21, we're going to post our first website ad on YouTube to encourage fans to visit the website. More ads will be added throughout the year, some for our brand, others for our films and more.
• Throughout the year, we will release many of our titles to other websites for others to watch. Where this will be is not yet entirely confirmed, but a full list is expected to be released on 2/1/21.
• Effective immediately, we will begin to integrate Andrew Bermudez Art into the online network, even though that will remain a separate website. How we will do this further will be announced on 2/1/21.

There are other plans that we do have, but those are currently under wraps until...

2/1/21: The Day We Announce Our Way Forward

    We've talked about this day before as the day that we restructure our entire body of upcoming projects for a Post-Covid world and reveal it for all to see. Now, we can share some ways how we plan on sharing this announcement:

• Here on the press room, which will be the most comprehensive overview of the announcement.
• On the website, where an update will add every single announced project to the "Coming Soon" page.
• On the YouTube Channel, which will feature a video announcement for every title and more.
• On the Facebook Page, where we'll post the video and images for the projects.
• On the official wiki, where every slot currently marked {confidential project} will be updated with the correct project title.

We hope you'll join us on that date, as we have many very exciting projects in the works!

Canon Updates!

It's time to update our canon again! Here's what's new.

• The Happiness Fund is entering the canon as events from Spring 2021, which introduces a new character, Murphy Flint, into the cinematic universe. His role in the greater universe is expected to be incidental at most.
• In a strange move, PeabodySam's story Cold Dishes is entering the canon as events from 2008 for BOTH Dimension 525 AND Dimension 418. The story covers Silencia Venomosa's revenge against Don Bricassius, who murdered her parents in 1993.

That's it for today, but stick around for more news in the coming weeks, including 2/1/21!
