So I find myself here four days into my first feature film. I am shooting a secret project only on weekends and in another language. May sound awkward but its something I have wanted to do for sometime.. Its one of those challenge videos my colleagues and I like to take on... One Actor, No Budget, and a little crew.. We found success with The Trunk, but will it be the same for this one? Only time will tell. Keep checking back to find out more and maybe see some cool clips..

End of the Year...

2009-12-16T08:42:00.000-08:00

Well Hey everyone,
Its the end of the year. This has been an interesting year for all of us here at TMI. We went from losing a client at the beginning of the year due to the economy to having 7 TV shows in LA being pitched. Let me give you all a little update of the projects we have in play now..

From my last blog you heard about "Treasure Coast" (Reality Series)
Join the crew of the Gold Hound as it leaves the dock at Captain Hiram’s in Sebastian Florida. For more than 17 years, Greg Bounds has made a living scouring the ocean off the Brevard County shoreline finding trinkets and treasures left by ships that sailed hundreds of years ago. Dozen’s of ships bound for Spain with treasures from Mexico and South America sank chests of jewelry, coins, ceramic pottery and cannons remain unaccounted for.
Among the riches sought by Captain Greg are 36 boxes of church gold and 64 pounds of emeralds worth $1 billion. In 2007, he found $12.9 million worth of gold chains, pearls, coins, swords and other artifacts from the 400-year-old Santa Margarita site in the Keys. Last year, it was the top-grossing boat in the 1715 fleet.

Then there is "Urban Animals" (Reality Series):
Urban Animals. It is like ER, but for Animals, if set in Austin. Dramatic highs and lows. Life and Death moments. Touching acts of kindness. The zany antics of downtown denizens of the weirdest little city in Texas. For all their differences, Dr. Homburg and Dr. Biehle, share one thing in common for sure, their deep and abiding commitment to animals and their well being. They also share a wicked sense of humor. In their new venture, The Austin Urban Vet Center, they will face the many challenges that are to be expected as business owners, veterinarians, and business partners.

Then there is "Battle-X" (Reality Series)
Battle X is an action packed televised combat simulation and a social experiment that demonstrates and highlights the universal characteristics of leadership, compromise, ethics, courage, and determination. This phenomenon plays out across a series of situations and transitions that will challenge each contestant in ways not fully explored in any current reality program. A group of preselected contestant candidates will undergo a culture shock experience and be placed in random groups and will be compelled to work together to win.

Then there is "The General" (web series)
Larry gets more than he bargained for when a puppet calling himself "The General" responds to his Craig's List ad for a roommate and turns his life upside down. Follow the adventures of The General as he goes through roommates like normal people go through toilet paper, all the while searching for the ultimate good time regardless of who's toes get stepped on.

Then there is "Chad Vs. The Wall" (web series)
Chad Brewer is a normal guy with fears, unfortunately he has let his fears dictate his entire life, until today.... Chad vs. The Wall is a web series that shows that anyone can take down that "Wall" of fear and over come it.

Then there is "Emo's" (Reality Series)
What’s it like running one of the top music clubs in the country for up and coming bands? Frank’s Place, Emo’s is a reality show that takes viewers behind the scenes and behind the stage to show a world that’s always provocative, sometimes glamorous, and never dull.

So as you can see we have been super busy.. We are on hold till after the holidays, but hopefully Jan and Feb will bring TMI some good news.. Keep checking back to find out more on our Reality Show ventures. If you would like more information about these projects please email me at CCisneros[at]tmivideos.com

WWE Smackdown and ECW

2009-04-08T10:50:00.000-07:00

Well last night was a very eventful night. I bought tickets to the WWE Smackdown and ECW taping in Austin for my son Mikey. He is a great kid! Makes all A honor roll, only missed 2 questions on the TAKS Test, and doesn't even get in trouble at school. I couldn't ask for a better son. So to reward him for all his hard work I surprised him by taking him to WWE. since spring break he has known about a surprise he was getting for doing so well. So I picked him up from school and told him its our day today, that just me and him were going to hang out and have some fun. the whole way we talked about wrestling because he had seen Wrestlmania the Sunday before. As we got into downtown Austin he was getting a little suspicious because he heard that Smackdown was in Austin on Tuesday. We even passed people with wrestling belts and he noticed... Then I pass between the Frank Erwin Center and the hospital, just so happens to be the place were they park all the WWE trucks with superstar's faces on them. as we pass the arena I guess the think we are going somewhere else because he begins to tell me about his friend Matthew who is going to wrestling tonight and how lucky he is.. Well we finally find a parking spot about 10 blocks away and get out. I walk to his side of the truck and pull Richard's camera he let me borrow and a John Cena shirt and toss Mikey the shirt. I told him "You might want to wear this." he was so excited he couldn't even talk the whole way there just this big cheesy grin covered his face. After taking a few minutes to catch my breath we got in line and found our seats. They weren't bad. I had literally bought these tickets the day they went on sale 2 mins after they went up, and I got the 3rd tier of seats all the ones below us were sold already.. I don't know how that is possible, but not bad seats nonetheless. See some of our pics below.

The 2 Bobs Screening

2009-03-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

Cast Q and A

Cast take off in the Thing..

Ha, you thought I just copy and pasted this one from the TMI site didn't you? This is my personal site so I am going to get a little more in depth. After the screening everyone was to meet at Buffalo Billiards. Well Stefanie and I got there and saw 2 people from the crew. After about 2 beers and about an hour other started to trickle in. I didn't mingle much since Stefanie and I are more home bodies and don't hit the bars much.. but we did have a good time. The best part of the night was when Evelyn came to the table.. I have to say If any of you filmmakers out there are looking for a down to earth and great actress Evelyn Hurley is your girl. She is super funny and just has a great personality. She had to leave us when she found out that the rest of the cast was at a restaurant and she was suppose to be there too. At about 11pm Stefanie and I decided to head home so I said my goodbyes and that was our night. It was good times and great to see all the people that contributed to this very funny film all together again.

Till next time,
Christian Cisneros

Just in case you didnt hear, Yes I am Engaged, On January 28th 2009, Stefanie and I had an amazing dinner at the TRIO in the Four Seasons Hotel, Austin TX. Read about it here

Austin American Statesman

Engaging proposals: Hotel has propelled many couples toward the altar

By Helen Anders
AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Saturday, February 14, 2009

It was a painstakingly planned proposal. The young man would take his intended for a hot air balloon ride and, high in the sky, ask her to marry him.

But when the time came, the young woman would have no part of it.

"There was no way in creation she was going to go near the balloon, let alone actually climb into the basket," says Tommy Dean, the Four Seasons Austin concierge who booked the balloon ride for the guy.

So, Dean quickly hatched Plan B: A romantic dinner was booked in the hotel's restaurant, after which the pair retired to their room. There, they encountered a helium balloon from which dangled a little truffle box containing the ring.

Dean says he was told that the bride laughed at the balloon, then cried when she discovered the ring.

It was just one of many tricks that Dean and others at the Four Seasons have pulled out of their hats to help elicit an "I do."

"I'm not Cupid, but Cupid is certainly in my Rolodex," says Dean, who's been a concierge at the hotel for 22 years.

Trio restaurant manager Paul Duce has been up to his ears in engagements, too — 34 proposals in the year and a half since Trio opened.

He set up the big night for Christian Cisneros and Stefanie Peralez, both of Lockhart, on Jan. 28, Peralez's birthday. Duce and Cisneros used a typical Four Seasons scenario: After dinner, Duce walked over to the couple's table and suggested an after-dinner drink outside. The cool evening could have put a chill on the proposal, but Duce was ready with a blanket for Peralez, who happily followed him out to the back patio. Flowers and champagne awaited.

"I just wanted something really romantic," Cisneros says. "It was great. She started crying and said, 'Yes.' "

Dean says he can't remember a "No" in all his years. Duce says he's had two. In one case, the bride-not-to-be fled the dining room; in another the woman just laughed and said, "Are you kidding?" and kept chatting with the guy.

Most couples keep the proposal traditional, but some do ask for odd setups.

"There's always the ring-in-the-souffl? trick," Dean says, though both he and Duce say rings are seldom put in food.

"I think that's a cop-out," Duce says. "I'm old-school at heart. I think the ring should come out of a box." And, of course, the traditional presentation reduces the risk of the bride swallowing the ring or breaking a tooth on it.

Dean often sets up proposals in the hotel's rooms, sometimes placing photos of the couple in the room, turning on an LED candle ("Flames and hotels aren't a good match") and scattering rose petals on the bed ("But not red roses — they stain the sheets.")

Once, he personally delivered the ring to the couple's room tied to a rose in a bouquet. Sometimes a cruise on Lady Bird Lake is set up, and the ring is presented during the boat ride. One man popped the question in a holiday way by walking his beloved to the hotel's lobby Christmas tree, where she found an ornament that read, "Will you marry me?"

Dean says the important thing is just to propose in a way that's comfortable for the proposer and the proposee.

"She's saying 'Yes' to the guy that you are," Dean says. "Still, I have my bag of tricks to make the magic happen and maybe sway her decision."

Detroit Rock City

2008-08-13T19:20:00.000-07:00

Hey Hey, Christian here writing from Detroit.

Richard and I flew out of Austin Wed. morning (6am) to Chicago, then had a 2 and a half hr layover and then its on to Detroit.

It all starts out this morning on the way to the airport and we are listing to 101X and I will be damned, they are talking about Detroit and how it is a horrible place, and thousands of people leave and don't come back every year.. They go on to talk about 1,000 dead people leave Detroit every year (their families dig them up and leave with them so they don't have to come back to Detroit to visit.) So all of that and my friend Robert telling me not to go out at night, doesn't put us in the best of moods on this day of flying.

The reason we are in Detroit can come in another blog when the contracts are signed.

Back to the trip... So that first flight has to be one of the worst flights I have every been in. Its started with Richard and I being late to the check in, which put in the "C" loading group so we are like the last 2 people on the plane. So we get on plane and there are only one row with 2 seats together.. The very back row. Its one of the smallest rows on the plane, so I sit at the window and Richard gets the middle seat. It was an unbearable 2 hr flight. And get this, we are about to land at Chicago Midway and we are on our descent and we make our touch down and bounce up in the air and touch down again. everyone started screaming.. The drinks in the back of the plane all spilled and made a huge mess. It felt like we lost our wheels it was crazy

The 2nd flight wasn't as bad but still Southwest doesn't make seats for fat people, I'll tell you.. We met up with our friend Kevin Minke in Chicago for the flight to Detroit.. Hell by the time we got up to our cruising altitude we started our descent. We walk into the airport in Detroit and it was a total different feel. everyone is depressed and looks all upset.. Ready to leave.. and it looks like they are closing the airport, it look like we stepped out of a time machine into 1977. The roads are so terrible, pot holes, and just holes.. Its feels like we are offroading. So the rest of the day is very uneventful. we make a 3 hr trip to find an apple store half way across Michigan, thank you minke, I just wanted to go swimming. And then we eat dinner at the place called Gus O'Conner's its an Irish pub that just so happened to come up on the GPS under American food.. weird..

FYI Richards new pork chop side burns are a real chick magnet in 1977 oh, Detroit... so much that it flustered our waitress so much that Kevin and I never got that second glass of "POP" and she even forgot what Richard ordered and sent the hostess to ask again....

other than that here I am writing this blog..

Here are some pictures from the trip... More to come..

Me already having the "Detroit Depression"

Richard ready to fight..

Kevin driving with no hands...
"It Works Better With Your Hand On The Wheel, ASS!"

That is on someones porch...

Nothing to say about that...

Look for me to update you about the trip home, yeah we are driving.. so the next one will come from some were in the Midwest.

We are still in need of some crew..
Since this is a low-low budget we cant afford to pay everyone including ourselves but we do have 3 meals a day and hotels for everyone who can come out to work, and we are shooting the the beautiful west Texas desert. Think of it as a vacation.

***Important Info, we are shooting for 14 days in West Texas. Please keep that in mind when applying.***

We are in need of the following positions.

Grip Electric Swing - will assist our DP in lighting and setting up for shots, handling equipment

Make-up Artist (Practical and FX) - Will need to work on Bullet wounds, bloody faces bruises, and other action make-up.

Still Photographer - Production stills, marketing stills, everything

Behind the Scenes videographer - produce a behind the scenes documentary about the film and filmmakers. (you do not have to have your own camera, production has a canon XL2)

Production Assistants - Helping in the production, art, make-up, FX, behind the scenes, and other depts through out the production.

Anyone interested in one of these positions please send your contact info and resume to TMIReviews@gmail.com All are welcome and we look forward to hearing from you
