Your Girlfriend’s Guy Friend

One year ago I got a call from Ken saying he wanted to shoot a night scene or two with a new light set he was gifted, using the beauty of the neon city to fill in the gaps. Never one to squander a chance to make things more complicated, I got started on a script. Less than a week later we were out shooting from sundown to sun-up with a willing cast, a partial script (the actors mostly improvised their dialogue), and some bullied friends to crew the thing. For one night we put our instincts and creativity to the test and the result is what you see. We hope you enjoy.

Cabin for Two - Origin Story

I wrote Cabin for a few reasons, none of which included an imminent quarantine mandate, or the temporary demise of physical dating as we know it. But hey, sometimes you get lucky... More than anything, I wanted to know what the apocalypse might look like for a terminal optimist. What would a Leslie Knope or a Michael Scott do in the face of near-certain annihilation? Imagine Mad Michael or I am Leslie-- show me THAT movie. I figured that if I had a character who could always find the silver lining, then the end of the world might just be all right.

This year we were fortunate enough to partner with Project UnLonely to share our short film Cabin for Two.

Project UnLonely is an initiative started through The Foundation of Art and Healing. They aspire to use the creative expression of artists to combat anxiety, depression, isolation and loneliness in the wake of the pandemic.

They saw in Harold, the protagonist, what many of you felt: an optimism and resiliency in the loneliest world imaginable.

In 2022, on Valentines Day, we had the distinct honor of premiering our short film Cabin for Two on DUST, a sci-fi streaming site and Youtube channel with a global reach. So far it has been viewed over 150,000 times across platforms. We couldn’t have sold Cabin to a better host, it was a match made in heaven.

A huge thanks to Filmquest for setting up the networking opportunity which led to the deal and to Sophie Carroll who had our back at every turn and made that overwhelming process totally seamless.

Make your watermark!

Have you really made it in Hollywood if there’s not a watermarked image of you floating around the internet? We believe it’s the only qualification of any substance. I can’t imagine anyone actually paying to have it removed!

It's just so much more legit to have your mug pasted with a big honkin Getty image or Alamy smack on the shnoz. At least that’s how Lily Oehm, 1st AD of Cabin for Two and yours truly felt about our Dances with Films red carpet pics. The Alamy site has this to say about that night: [Lily and Sam] attend Opening Night of the 24th Annual Dances with Films Festival at Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Los Angeles, CA on August 26, 2021
