So Long and Thanks for All the Fish - The Last Post

2008-06-16T18:46:00.000-07:00

As Vitamin C said in one of her many hit songs of her lengthy career, Graduation:

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

And like friends, we of standstill films will always be in your lives, even if you don't want us to be. And for our last post ever (whimper), I share with you three videos of recent and old, all that were truly High School Mass Media class quality.

La Granja
As all crappy horror movies do, ours gives you the blood and leaves the plot, story arch, action, characters, and logic behind. Enjoy our sophomoric, and quite funny attempt at horror. Behold, LA GRANJA:

Shady Lane
Film Noir is a tough genre. Only a few movies have reached the true peak of perfection, and we at standstill films have only seen their trailers. See our attempt at drama, deception, and douchebag cops. Enjoy Shady Lane:

The Office : Man Day
The Office is possibly the best written and edited show currently on TV, Arrested Development's void has yet to be filled. So when we had to make an adaptation, we decided we would take a stab at the office mockumentary. Enjoy our full length, original screenplay, and shaky cam shot, Office episode, entitled, Man Day:

I hope you enjoyed our videos over the past two years, and this is the post to wrap it all up. I would start to cry, but hey, who knows, maybe something will come out from standstill films over the summer. I heard the Pakowsky Bros. were opening up a new Emporium across from the seaport...

The Pakowsky Bros. interrupt this movie festival intro for a special message of their new store, the movie emporium. That is all.

Iced Out

2008-04-08T14:10:00.000-07:00

The day has finally come. Iced Out is done and ready for mass viewing. No witty description for this one, other than this movie takes place in the future where ice cream is illegal. I have feeling that you just got hungry for ice cream, and that in the future, it tastes awesome.

Heres a little update:
A script is currently underway for a new silent movie we are going to be doing soon. Some ideas are also floating around about a stop motion short and of course JUICE (working title) is also being worked on but probably won't be made till its nice outside.

Unseen Pilot - Man vs Wild : Brendan Grylls

2008-01-28T15:52:00.000-08:00

If you have ever seen the show Man vs Wild, you might think Bear Grylls was the first of his kind, well you would be wrong. His brother, Brendan Grylls, struck a deal with Discovery Channel about a year before his brother and the produced this pilot that was never completely edited or aired. Sadly they picked Bear over his brother, because, well, BEar Grylls was catchier. But we have managed to get the unseen pilot, and we will post it up right here. Enjoy.

E! THS DIO:Episode 11 - This is the End

2007-12-04T19:26:00.000-08:00

Our boys have put their career behind them, and have assumed new jobs. We have seen the final days of the members, and there is a question left unanswered. How does the manager live so well off such an unpopular and unprofitable band? I guess you'll see. This is the end, for now.

No this is the end.
