Nick's Flicks

Alright...

I'm a huge geek, particularly when it comes to literature and comics. Just check out my last post if you don't believe me.

Anywho, I'm even worse when it comes to film: besides managing the local movie theater and taking in as much film as I can, I am also a member of Nick's Flicks, which is essentially an independent, not-for-profit studio that is located in Morehead, KY, created by our very own Tarantino himself, Nick Johnson.
Nick has fostered and built on this dream for well over a decade, with it's origin dating back well over a decade, and in the past two years, Nick's Flicks has made leaps and bounds towards becoming something more than just a dream of Nick's and all of us involved. He just recently wrapped up post-production on a short (Brother Tom) that moves us out of the business of purely comic shorts into something more meaningful to each of us, something that heralds the start of a new era for Nick's Flicks.

Nick and I have VERY big plans for this dream of ours over the next six months, plans that, when they see completion, will see us premiering a project that is currently in development premiering at Morehead Cinemas for a one-week run. That's 28 shows over a seven day period for a film written, directed, produced and edited by a group of guys from Morehead, shot entirely in Morehead.

That's where each and every one of you, dear readers, come into play: if we have a successful enough run in Morehead, we can continue to show it, not only here, but in other theaters. That's right: we aren't just wanting to show this film in our hometown, recover our costs, and call it a day. No, we want to take it to other theaters, and get it out there for everyone to witness; we want to inspire other local and independent filmmakers by showing them that hey, if you just do it, you're doing it right. Don't sit on an idea and let it fester: see it through to the end.

Over the next few months, I will be posting interviews, behind the scenes videos, and all other sorts of news regarding Nick's Flicks and our project(s). I don't want to say too much this early on, but I promise you this: when this hits, you will be presently surprised. Big things are in the works, and I, for one, cannot wait. This blog meets half my dream, which is obviously to write. Nick and I, on the other hand, are working on the other half, the one that I never thought I would see realized on such a large scale.

Until then, though, you should definitely check out our website, www.nicks-flicks.com. You will not regret it.
