FHP and Foursite Film Festival


Flying Hat Productions and it's associates were involved in a number of films that were official selections last weekend at the Foursite Film Festival. Four of the films that our staff were involved in were nominated for awards in the Best of Utah category and Best Student Film category. Those films were "What Really Matters", "A Short Goodbye", "Unpleasantville" and "Jack and Jen". "Unpleasantville" and "What Really Matters" were produced by our company, the other two films we had the pleasure and honor to be part of the crew. Flying Hat Productions would like to Congratulate Chris Morgan of Two Sherpas Production Company for his Best of Utah win for "Jack and Jen", and Colton Tran for his win in the Best Student Film Category for "Unpleasantville". It was a pleasure to work with you on these projects and were are proud of your success!

Wow, how time flies. . .

It is hard to believe that over a year and a half ago was my last blog. Since then so much has happened, and I must say that I have a tinge of regret for not documenting those happenings as they happened.

I have participated in the Utah Spot on Film Commercial Contest. Our commercial, Kidney Theft, won the contest! The commercial aired for all of 2009 in places like, Park City TV during Sundance, and in cities where the film industry is poplular. In February of 2010, it was Awarded the Utah Silver Addy Award.

Flying Hat has helped produce 5 short films, one feature-length independent film, worked as a best boy/key grip on a web series - RAISING KAYN, best boy/key grip/dolly grip and assistant editor on the independent feature THE LAST EAGLE SCOUT, and Unit Production Manager and Caterer/Craft Services on the short film JACK & JEN. And most recently, has started pre-production and production on a feature length documentary THE TALK.

Whew, I think that I got it all in there. If not feel free to comment and refresh my memory for me.

I am going to be blogging more about our production company and especially about our documentary, THE TALK. So, if you want to know where and what people learn about sex, tune in for some interesting stories...like the one about the professional dominatrix from Chicago.

That's all for now and until next time, you can leave your hat on!
