Happy 2010 everybody! We at Cinevore are expecting an exciting year, as soon as our cars stop blowing up (long story)! With two projects in development, the neo-noir Controls and the ensemble comedy Wizard Rainbow Unicorn, we will be using this year to bring our first-ever feature-length project to fruition. We hope to have some exciting news in the coming months on our crew, cast, and hopefully even some star power, as well as how YOU can get involved as a producer. With luck, we'll get back to issuing our bi-monthly newsletter as well once we kcik into higher gear in the spring. Stay tuned!

Piece of Meat was submitted to exactly one film festival. The music video's success was a freak accident, so where better to display such a bizarre phenomenon than at the Coney Island Film Festival? Well apparently it got in! And apparently, its screening, and the other shorts programmed with it, were SO popular, the screening was the first to sell out, and the demand was compared by festival staff to "Beatlemania."

And us, the excited filmmakers, were stuck here in Philly, hosting another equally awesome film festival, Project Twenty1. So despite our best wishes, we were unable to attend. However, we hear nothing but great things! As a consolation prize to ourselves, we added the film to a shorts screening at P21 as well, because we felt awful having to miss its theatrical World Premiere. So technically, POM has screened in 2 fests now! We just have to figure out how to attach laurels to a YouTube video.

Thanks to everybody for your support and love of this film! We promise the next one will be less weird. (*Not an actual promise.)

Cinevore is taking on its first full-length feature film in 2009. "Wizard Rainbow Unicorn" is the story of... well, to see what it's the story of, click here!

We're extremely excited to pull together our cast and crew in pre-production, but we want to make sure this film meets our high standards for production quality, so we're first putting the essential Cinevore team members in place to help get this project, as well as "Controls" off the drawing board and into theaters.

Want to learn more, or get involved? Check out the WRU page, then contact us for more information!

All over the web, we're seeing evidence of love. Piece of Meat is listed on Crackle's "most viewed" list on their Comedy channel.

Check out their site (or right here at cinevore.com) to view Crackle's wonderful HD-quality version of the vid.

Thanks, everybody, for the continued love!

It's official, people like it. CollegeHumor just featured "Piece of Meat" as well!

If you don't believe us, check it out! And while you're there, sign in and check the "I like it" box.

And remember, it's a whole different viewing crowd than youtube, so they haven't heard your snarky comments yet!

Piece Of Meat update: everybody's favorite/least favorite parody video involving cow births and the Angry Video Game Nerd has been featured on the main "Comedy" page of YouTube!

Don't believe us? Check out these screencaps!

Featured Worldwide, no less!

Even more hilarious, we've evidently been featured on something called "Spassdroge.com". I guess we're big in Germany? Or at least on German pseudo-porn boob video sites.

Should this be cause to celebrate? It's unclear. But we'll take it!

Well, we're at the 1 week mark for our video "Piece of Meat" being on the internet, and we've almost reached 5,000 views. And that's even WITHOUT the additional specific help of any of our star power (beyond the tags, which I'm sure doesn't hurt). The video has already exceeded the number of views for Cinevore's first film Scarfeet, which has been online for over 2 years. To celebrate, we've uploaded a free downloadable mp3 of the song for those of you who want to hear the ridiculousness over and over. Download it here!

If you haven't seen the video yet, check it out HERE. Be sure to leave comments or at least rate it!

Check it out! We promise you won't be disappointed. Disgusted? Perhaps. But we can live with that.

The final audio file is now entirely done, as is ALL the photography and 90% of the editing. It should just be a week or so now... stay tuned for the media blitz.

Cinevore has finished filming in the hilariously perfect D'Angelo Bros. Meat Market on S. 9th St in the Italian Market for our "Piece of Meat" parody video. Special thanks to Sonny D'Angelo and the rest of the gang for lending us the space, and additional thanks to Paul dellAngelo, who played a perfectly appropriate butcher to Brittany's sexy butcheress. Now it's down to a few pick-up shots and the editing... stay tuned!

It's been another busy couple of weeks. Our music video, "Piece of Meat" has filmed in three different locations now: Norz Hill Farm on 6/22, The University of the Arts on 6/24, and Club Ice in King of Prussia on 6/25, leaving only the Butcher Shop location on the schedule!

Stay tuned for stills and video as we complete this video in the coming weeks! In the meantime, we're thrilled to have fully shot our scene with the Angry Video Game nerd himself, James Rolfe! Special props to Brittany Brazill, our spunky/crazy protagonist with a thirst for all things animal. The footage all looks awesome, so while the wait's been long, we promise it'll all be worth it when you see the final product!

Cinevore wishes to thank D'Angelo Bros. owner Sonny D'Angelo for allowing us to film in his awesome store in the Italian Market later this month for our video "Piece of Meat."

Feel free to visit him and thank him in person at 909 S. 9th St. Philadelphia, and while you're there, buy some meat from him! (How's that for a blatant plug?) But hey, how many butchers do you know who support the film industry in Philadelphia, huh?

Our music video is on track to be filmed in the final two weeks of June. Among the locations now in place, we can officially include Norz Hill Farm! Thanks to the generosity of Richard Norz, we will be filming on their farm one weekend soon. As a bonus, this farm features the famous cow from the Chick-Fil-A print ads! What better animal to promote our music video than that, huh?

Check them out! We hear they hold a wicked haunted house in October!

Also, congratulations to Brittany Brazill, who has signed on to play the lead! Producers Stephanie Yuhas and Matt Conant met with her the other day, and she is uber-excited about the project. As are we to work with her. More soon!

Thanks to all those who made it out for our casting call on Saturday at PIFVA, and the overflow call on Sunday at Cinevore HQ in Norristown. We saw so much phenomenal talent, we actually left the call trying desperately to think of parts for some of you.

Of course, only a few roles are immediately available, and we'll be making our decisions in the next couple of days for the earlier projects. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, a rough draft of the parody song for our music video has been edited, and it's coming along very nicely. Likewise, a second cut of Dirty Dishes has been edited by Psynema's Gary Hanna, and it's coming along very nicely as well! Keep your eyes peeled for more info on these projects in the coming week or two.

Cinevore Studios is casting for several upcoming projects, and we're holding our call on Saturday, May 24th, at PIFVA Headquarters, 4212 Chestnut St. in Philadelphia. We're currently seeking VOLUNTEER, NON-UNION actors for fun, short shoots with great potential for exposure. Want to be in a Cinevore project?

Status update: Cinevore brought in the supremely talented singer Erika Schiff and musician/recording engineer extraordinaire Mo a.k.a. Young Sinatra, to lay down some tracks at High Street Music Company, an awesome studio space in Pottstown, PA.

The premiere of Cinevore's collaboration with Psynema and ShinyGrape Studios has resulted in another winner! "Dirty Dishes" screened last night at International House and came away with both the Audience Award and the award for Best Directing. Congratulations to Director Gary Hanna and the entire Team for their awesome work this past weekend.

Matt Conant and Cinevore Studios helped produce a 48 Hour Film this past weekend for director Gary Hanna of Team Psynema. Our film screens tonight at 7:00pm at International House, 3701 Chestnut St. Come one, come all! We'll buy you drinks afterwards at the Wrap Party as we accept our Best Film Award. :)

Pre-production of our parody music video is coming along... see if this pic helps clear up the mystery. No? How 'bout this then: it's not from the props department... it's from the costume designer.

More soon!

Thanks to the mad programming skillz of site designer Greg Conant, Cinevore is back in action with an awesome new site for 2008 and beyond. Check out our projects, Our new Team Members, and get ready for a slew of new projects to be unveiled. Sign up at the bottom of the site to receive our upcoming newsletters as well! We welcome your feedback and comments.

Hey all, big news! We're planning a hilarious parody of a popular music video, and are currently seeking models/actresses/dancers who are willing to be a little dark and weird. Okay, a little very dark and weird. Similarly, seeking crew who want to get involved in a shoot involving dancing, blood/gore, and well, meat. We'll leave it at that for now. Email matt@cinevore.com with headshots/resumes if you're interested.

Cinevore's Creative Director Matt Conant has completed the final draft of the feature-length script for its upcoming neo-noir thriller, Controls. The feature-length story was conceived in a joint venture between Matt and fellow Cinevore writer Stephanie Yuhas. We are now starting down the long and winding road of development. Wish us luck, and more importantly, contact us to get involved!

What can I say? We must be loved. One month after Crackle.com featured Cinevore's maiden voyage, Scarfeet with an Editor's Choice Award, they now hand the same Award to the last film our Team made at Sith Servo Pictures, Over the River, Through the Woods. OTR is a twisted, updated take on the Red Riding Hood story. It's not up on our site, but head on over to Crackle to check it out!

Cinevore has just learned that Scarfeet has won an Editor's Choice Award on the brand new Sony-run video site Crackle.com! Cinevore wishes to thank to Crackle editors for their clearly phenomenal taste. Check it out here!
