The Entertainment Corner interviews 4D4Films
We were recently interviewed by Mireille at The Entertainment Corner about our documentary "Thanks for your support!" which is currently in production.
In the interview we discuss what about Richard's story appealed to us and how we decided to make a film about him and his store. We also talk about Richard's passion for music, how we are funding the film, and what we hope people walk away with after seeing the film once it's been completed.

"Thanks for your support!" coverage on Kik Axe Music
James Zahn of Kik Axe Entertainment wrote about our documentary and the Kickstarter campaign on his blog last night. He also shared some memories of the record stores he frequented as a youth and states his interest in our project "Thanks for your support!"
In his post James writes "In all fairness, THANKS is not the first documentary to feature an indie record store as it's subject, nor is it likely to be the last. Regardless, those like myself that find themselves hungry for nostalgia in the realm of music retailing will likely agree that there can never be too many of these films." And we couldn't agree more!

Our Kickstarter campaign kicks-off tonight!
We have started our campaign on Kickstarter for our upcoming documentary "Thanks for your support!" While we are very proud of the 4 films we've made in the last 4 years, utilizing our no-budget/DIY philosophy, the time has come to bring our game to the next level.
This project also has some different challenges for us. The film centers on a specific moment in time (Richard's 20th Anniversary in June) and our subject is 300+ miles away. In addition, we are facing higher than usual post-production costs related to editing, securing music rights, festival fees, etc.
Visit the "Thanks for your support!" page on Kickstarter to find out how you can get involved.

Love Sick reviewed by AnythingHorror.com
Our short film Love Sick was recently reviewed by Scott Shoyer on AnythingHorror.com. Scott doesn't pull any punches and offers sincere thoughts on all the films he reviews.
Scott has this to say about Love Sick "This one is pretty fun in that it doesn't go down the obvious path. Nowadays ya see a girl tied up in a chair in a dark and dirty basement ya think, “Here comes another torture-porn flick.” But this one shakes up the formula in a satisfying way."
