Limpwings is now available on DVD and VOD

Hey folks, Andrew here…

Finally, over four years since its premiere at the historic Fargo Theatre in October 2011, our first feature-length film, Limpwings, is now available for purchase on DVD and digital purchase or rental via Amazon.com.

Check out the trailer here:

Limpwings is the story of Daniel Hall, a fourth year college student who’s nowhere near graduation. Daniel sits idly by as his best friend and roommate, Hope, prepares for her medical school exams and a future that will take her far away from him. In the midst of a serious arrested development crisis, Daniel awakens after a one night stand with blood gushing from wounds in his hands and feet. A quick Wikipedia search tells him that he has stigmata, the wounds of Christ. Soon after, he is visited by a real (albeit wingless) angel, whom Hope nicknames “Limpwings," who tells Daniel that God has chosen him to lead His people. Now Daniel is torn between his responsibilities as a savior-in-training and as a friend to Hope. The trouble is that responsibility isn’t really one of Daniel’s strong suits.

We are so excited to have Limpwings available online for you and the whole wide world to see! As our first foray into feature filmmaking, it holds a special place in our hearts. You see, Limpwings isn’t only the coming-of-age story of Daniel Hall; it's the coming-of-age story of Two Jackets Productions. We produced it just after wrapping up our college web series, 3rd West Ballard, and just before becoming involved in the Twin Cities film community. In seeing it through, we proved to ourselves that we could handle a project of this scope, both artistically and logistically. Since then, with our short film work, we’ve continued to hone the creative and practical aspects of the craft.

Before you head over to Amazon to buy or rent the film, I want to give a shout out to the cast and crew who helped make it a reality. Their commitment and selflessness every day on set, across five weeks split over two summers, reminds us of how special the collaboration of filmmaking is. This is why we continue to hold a deep respect for the time and talents of our collaborators, no matter how big or small their role.

Now get on over to Amazon and order the film! Then check back in early February, when we will announce our next big endeavor. Until then, keep it limp!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It’s 2016, and it’s time we had a talk. Last year we teased a few projects that didn’t get out the door, and, before we can jump into the fun we have planned for the New Year, we wanted to give you a status update!

“Cosmic Questers '97” Retrospective

We’ve (mostly Marcus) mentioned this in quite a few posts over the last six months, but it has yet to materialize. The retrospective will finally be posted this Friday!  We have enough distance now to look back at the project more critically, and we hope the post will be stronger as a result.

“Meanwhile at the Citadel of Superheroes…”

One of our favorite projects has finished its time going out to film festivals, and is ready for its online debut! We will be posting the extended cut of Citadel on January 12th at a YouTube near you!

“Limpwings” on DVD and VOD

At long last “Limpwings,” Two Jackets’ first feature film, will be coming to DVD and VOD on Tuesday, January 19th! The film will be available on DVD and for digital rental and purchase via Amazon.com. We’ll provide full details when the link is live!

After “Limpwings” is out the door, we’ll be able to start talking about the next big project we’re undertaking. It’s not a film release, (though, we are still planning more of those) but a brand new creative endeavor we’ve been working on for the past few months. 

Stay tuned at the end of January for all the details!

Happy 2015!

Hey mamas and papas, Eric here. Since I'm sure you're all dying to know what we've been up to the last couple months and what we'll be doing in 2015, I thought I'd give you a little update! 

First off, I'd like to announce that we will NOT be participating in this year's Z-Fest Film Festival. Two Jackets has been involved in this great little fest for the past two years, but we've decided to forgo the competition this year so that we can focus on other projects. Z-Fest is always a fun time, and I'm sure we'll be checking out this year's films and participating again in the future.

What are these other projects we're focusing on? What madness are we planning for 2015? Well, little darlings, we're keeping it a secret. We just can't tell you. What I CAN say is that we're very excited about it and that it's a big project that we'll be bugging about for much of 2015! So you have that to look forward to! I'm such a tease!

The other exciting goings-on involves our feature Limpwings! We tickled you last summer that Limpwings would be coming to DVD and Video On-Demand, and we promise that is still happening. We've been designing DVD jackets and menus, and right now we're hoping to have everything ready by late spring/early summer 2015. Of course, this is just an estimate, and we'll give you a concrete date when we're good and ready! 

That's all the news I have for now! More to come soon!
