We are incredibly pleased to announce that Passenger Pigeons is an official selection at this year's South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. Many congratulations and thanks to everyone involved. If you're planning on checking out the festival, make sure you find us and say hi, and you should also check out Cold Weather, one of the headlining films of the week, which features several Papercookie friends on both sides of the camera.

May 1, 2009: New website and STORE!
We're updating the website this week to be cleaner, more functional, and easier to update after a couple years of promising to do so. Sorry if things don't work quite right at first. The best news is that the new site will be equipped to sell our brand-new NEUTRAL DVDs. Look out for those and another big announcement coming soon.


April 14, 2008: HEY!
Much to our pleasant surprise, NEUTRAL took the highest honor - the "Top Grit" - at last week's Indie Grits festival in Columbia, SC. Thanks to everyone who came to the screenings, and thanks to the jury for giving us our first award! In the spirit of celebration, we'll be working on a new and improved (and more frequently updated) website to keep track of further screenings and other events, so please come back.

Congratulations to all of NEUTRAL's cast, crew, friends, and fans. Have a cigar. And some grits.

See Neutral at Indie Grits! April 10 @ 8pm! The Nickelodeon Theatre in Columbia! Neutral is playing in competition at Columbia, SC's Indie Grits Festival, along with many other fine shorts and features from the Southeast that Ed Burns could only describe as "low-budg." We'll all be there... come say hi.

The Neutral world premiere will be on October 18 at the Fine Arts Theatre in Asheville, NC. Joe used the phrase "milk and cookies" in the e-mail he just sent me about it, soooo...uh, best get tix now. Also, we've just put up the EPK for the movie in PDF form.

Hi there. In the time since the last news update, we have driven across the country twice, not to mention starting and finishing production on our new movie, Neutral. Watch this space for announcements on the trailer and upcoming screenings. Grownups still isn't finished, and if you ask John about it, he'll mumble a lot and avoid the question. So I wouldn't bother if I were you. Love, John.

The June 28 screening was a big success. If you were there, drop us a line to let us know what you thought. We're also casting right now for male and female child actors ages 6-12, high school age males and females, and older men and women in their 30's, 40's, and 50's. We're looking for all levels of experience, so contact us if you think you'd be interested. We're also looking for FOOD DONATIONS for the month of August, when we will be filming.

The GROWNUPS screening is at 7 PM, Wednesday, June 28, at the Fine Arts Theater at 36 Biltmore Ave., Asheville, NC. Oh, and you should probably watch this.


Monday, June 12 2006
There will be a screening of GROWNUPS on June 28 at the Fine Arts Theater in Asheville, NC. This is the best opportunity for people who missed the earlier screenings, because we don't have any other ones scheduled right now as our attention is going to move towards festivals soon. It's also an opportunity to be bombarded with information about our next project, NEUTRAL, and an opportunity to eat free candy. Free unless you count the $5 admission that goes 100% to our film budget.

Oh, and you should really watch this.
