Over Coffee Featured in South Bend Tribune

Over Coffee is featured in an article in the South Bend Tribune! You'll also find part of the article focuses on another Columbus short film by John Whitney called The Fixer.

These movies were screened at the Indiana University of South Bend International Video and Film Festival where they caught the attention of another event and now will be screening at the Mid America Filmmaker's Evening of Comedies at Vickers Theater in Michigan.

Rock on Columbus Filmmaking!!!

Tuesday April 10th, at 8:00pm in room 2038 at the Drake Union on the OSU campus.

We've been asked to speak at the local weekly meeting for the OSU Film & Video Society. We are both pretty jazzed about it and looking forward to sharing information we've learned on our journey in filmmaking and information about some of the great things going on here in Columbus and the surrounding area.
