The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; August 23, 2023)     With less than six months to go before the start of Twenty Years Young , we're spending some time this month to celebrate two anniversaries: twenty years of LEGO Orient Expedition and fifteen years of Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo ! We're going to step back and look at this landmark film, the LEGO sets upon which it is based, and how this film will be commemorated next year! Orient Expedition vs. Secret of Marco Polo : Comparison and Contrast     It's hard to believe that fifteen years have passed since the release of Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo , with the release of the LEGO sets that the film is based upon releasing five years prior! With that said, it is worth mentioning that there were some pretty substantial changes made to the story for its adaptation for animation, including a timeline update.     Truth be told, the best timeline tha...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; August 6, 2023)      It's August, with several months to go before the start of  Twenty Years Young , so we're going to take a look at what to expect from one of our releases from early in 2024: The Fourth Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards ! What We've Learned from the Past      In the past, we've mostly focused on our core fan base to cast votes, as well as leaned into using the ceremony to make some surprise announcements. However, after the more-or-less disastrous third fan choice awards (barely any votes and the ceremony was a giant mess), we're looking at spreading out our outreach for voting. The affiliates have already been asked to share the voting ballot as much as they can and a trailer for voting (which was done for the first and second awards, but not the third) will be released soon. On top of this, we're looking to streamline the ceremony as much as we can in or...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; July 18, 2023)      Twenty Years Young  is still several months away, but we're continuing this countdown series with another look at an upcoming film, which this time is actually a re-release. Yes, we're talking about the one film that was never properly addressed during From the Vaults  and the DVD Archival Project: Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island ! What is Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island ?     Before we dive in, let's step back and first introduce this film, which is only first being released online through this celebration. Long story short, Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island  is the final film in the Com 50 Trilogy, after Com 50  and Com 50 & 007 . It's the longest film in the saga (the original cut hovers around 30 minutes, with a whopping 45 minute runtime expected for the special edition) and features the most intrigue, humor, and characters. It was also the last film of...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; July 17, 2023)     In only a short amount of time, we have now heard some great feedback about our projects and some ways to move forward in time for Twenty Years Young ! Here's all of the details. The BRAWL 2023 Results Have Been Released! How did Braford Rant: Beginnings  Do?      After a surprisingly short amount of time, Bricks In Motion has released the final results for BRAWL 2023! With over 150 entries, the competition was definitely tense, but ultimately, Bradford Rant: Beginnings  did not win any prizes or get into the top 20 entries. With that said, we would like to congratulate the winners and the top 20 entries, as well as give a shout out to Bricks in Motion and the rest of the entries. If you want to take a look at the rankings yourself, JUST CLICK HERE . With that said, Bradford Rant: Beginnings  did bring up a point of contention (and possibly the reason for not ra...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; July 2, 2023)     It seems like most of our efforts these days are currently focused on preparing for  Twenty Years Young  next year, but never fear! We've just released our BRAWL 2023 entry, Bradford Rant: Beginnings ! Bradford Rant: Beginnings  Has Been Released!      BRAWL 2023 has just concluded, and that brings with it our latest film, Bradford Rant: Beginnings ! Resurrecting a previously-developed but scrapped project, Bradford Rant: Beginnings  takes the mostly-vague character of Dr. Bradford Rant (the founder of the Bradford Rant Institute of Cosmic Kinesis) and tells his own story of when he was just breaking into the scientific field. Specifically, this film takes an anecdote from his background (literally just part of a sentence) about his apprenticeship with Dr. Giacomo Berenices and explores that relationship in detail. The film has been imbedded above for your v...

    By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; June 10, 2023)      It's now June, with half of the year to go before the start of  Twenty Years Young , so we're going to start counting down by taking a moment to look at some of our upcoming projects and, in this case, how we're going to reinforce our commitments from 2020! The Holy Land Paragon  and Gertrude and Lily : Twin Tales of Adventure, Race, Cultural Identity, and Gender      When it was first announced on February 1, 2021, the book  The Holy Land Paragon  acted as a sort-of narrative shift for us. True, adventure stories are far from novel for us, and we've written several short stories in the past, but how this would play out is taking a new turn. For starters, the characters were determined from the get-go to be ethnically diverse, ranging from Hispanics to Jewish intellectuals, a black professor, and more. The book doesn't comment as much on this t...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; April 18, 2023)      Happy 19th birthday to us! In usual fashion, we have a news-filled press release to celebrate. However, this news deals with our anniversary celebration next year, Twenty Years Young ! While we've already announced most of next year's content back in 2021, we now have a more detailed line-up of what to expect for our twentieth anniversary in 2024, including our new logo (pictured above) and a brand-new celebration trailer ( WATCH IT BY CLICKING HERE )!     With this anniversary, we're embracing the theme of Looking Back and Looking Ahead , and every project for this anniversary exemplifies this theme, each in their own way! From restoring previously-lost adventures to expanding existing characters with new stories, here is everything that we have planned for Twenty Years Young ! All-New 20 Years' ReCollections Product Designs will Debut Beginning January 1, 2024! To kick off the c...
