Due to the wonders of social-networking and the power of crowdsourcing we’ve already found 50% of our support for our independent film. Looking to raise $200 for an independent film project at College of the Canyons, we’re offering a spot in the films end credits for $10. So far these sponsors have come aboard:
I have decided that I will begin reviewing movies on this blog. I won’t exactly be reviewing just new movies or movies that I have seen in general. I will be reviewing movies that I own. This will essentially be a retrospective look back at what I decided was worth $5 – $20 to buy. I’ll give a full review and a recommendation of whether or not you too should buy the film or let it sit on the shelf at the store. I invite you to subscribe to this blog and join me on this ride.
Jim Greenleaf will now be playing the role of Mayor T. Rex Harris and helping out as a Producer for the show! Jim Greenleaf is the CEO of ilivetoday.com and has some really great experience and connections with the entertainment business.

Well, I am here again, on the blog sending out my thoughts into the void! I’ve been quite busy so I think it is important for me to reflect on what I have been doing. During the last school semester I wrote blogs on a weekly basis as part of my Critical Thinking and Research English Class. This assignment fueled my creative writing greatly and jumpstarted my problem solving mindset. (Reflecting upon that sentence, I’m not quite sure how effective my car-oriented metaphors are.)
At one point or another we need to face down our failures. If we have the bravery to face down our failures we can turn them into opportunities. I recently received the third of three disappointing letters, first a letter denying me admission to USC, then a painful reminder in the form of a letter rejecting me from the Film-Production program and a third from the Animation and Digital Arts Program. I had my moment of pain, disappointment and bitterness and now I am moving on.
I am taking control of this moment and steering myself into a bold new future. Tired of working odd jobs and commuting to Pasadena (yes, I said Pasadena) I have started building up the business of DragonCow Productions.
The DragonCow team has:
Made its first commercial for a local business!
Check out the video for AV Florist in Lancaster:

I met with Av Florist owner Chris Spicher for lunch at Jackie’s cafe in Lancaster and convinced him to take a chance and he commissioned us to make a 30 second stop-animated ad for his flower shop. In less than two weeks, thanks to some late nights and hard work from seasoned DragonCow animators Thomas Thomas and Dean Terrell, the video was completed.
This lead to the development of our next project another video ad! This time the ad is for Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe. The future looks bright for DragonCow Productions as we have 2 more paid videos in the immediate future and several creative opportunities too…
Stay tuned to the tales of Ben Andrews and DragonCow, and our continuing saga.
As always, Wish me luck!
