My name is Ben. I make movies. And stuff.
You might think that after three weeks my webhost would be able to fix a problem that they caused. You’d be wrong.
I ended up just biting the bullet and getting brushed up on my php skilz in order to fix the forums myself. Thank you useless webhost tech support team; hopefully you’ll refrain from breaking my website in the future. Ugh.
So yeah. The forums are fixed. Enjoy.
This past weekend I returned for the 7th straight year to produce the short film/awards ceremony video for the Washington State Math Championship in my hometown of Blaine, Washington. The video features Jared Reilly and students from Blaine’s Middle School math team.
I’m actually on the road doing some shooting in Boston right now so I haven’t been able to update the WSMC page on the site, but I have uploaded a 22 MB Quicktime of the video, and also uploaded it here to my archive channel on YouTube. I didn’t upload it to my main profile because I use that account exclusively for web shorts, etc
Thanks to everyone who participated and for the great response to this year’s video! I hope to see all of you next year!
Yeah so my web host did what web hosts do best: messed things up. I’m pressing them to get the forums back up and running, but who knows when that will actually happen. Hang tight!
Well, a new video is long overdue, and therefore I give you BEACH FORT, which is undoubtedly the most bizarre short I have ever made. I don’t really know how to describe it… much less if anyone should even be permitted to watch it. Click the link if you’re brave enough.
Well, it’s been a pretty crazy few months. Here is the short version: I finally got married, quit my job (and got a new one!) and have been traveling all over the place (Panama, the Sundance Film Festival, Massachusetts, New Orleans)… hence the lack of updates. I’m excited that the WGA strike is finally over, which means that the gears are going to start turning again on Gamers and my *almost* completed feature spec script. Meanwhile, “The New Adventures of Ben and Jared part II” is on the horizon… as well as some other new videos for the site. Oh, and for those who are curious (and bored), I’ve posted many of my old videos from high school through college in a new YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/MallahanArchives GO GO GO!
Two pairs of notable YouTube directors square off in an epic adventure… Continue reading ‘The New Adventures of Ben and Jared’
Earlier today I re-launched Put Gamers On TV! .com… and now for the first time the full Gamers pilot is available online. Continue reading ‘Put Gamers On TV is back!’
I’m working on getting a downloadable Quicktime online… but for now go ahead and check out the YouTube link to the left!
The new site is now online, and I’m making my final preparations to release the full spec pilot online in the morning. Until then, the embedded YouTube video to the left will just be the trailer. Continue reading ‘The new site is up!’
For those of you who didn’t visit Put Gamers On TV last March and have no idea what’s going on, I recommend that you take a quick look at the archive of the original site.
