TIE DAY MEDIA: Spring update

Spring is here, and Tie Day has been super busy with a variety of projects.

We're currently in pre-production on a short film, currently titled 'Purple', and a documentary about ESL students living and surviving in New York City. This documentary is a precursor to a much project called 'FUTURE PERFECT', which will be discussed in future months.

Since we're getting into the documentary game, we'd love to show you our short doc 'music has to be interesting,' about Tie Day sound man Nick Nelson. Watch it HERE.

That's all for now. Hope your spring is treating you well, and we hope to see you soon!

Tie Day is back up with an update after several busy months. We've got lots to tell you about.

FIrst off, our short film ALL DRESSED UP premiered at the BIG APPLE FILM FESTIVAL. That was lot of fun. We're now going back into editing and making some small changes before we apply to some larger festivals,

We've also had the luxury of working with improv comedy troupe PYRAMID SCHEME on their entry for Doritos' Crash the Super Bowl project. You can watch there HERE. These are some seriously hilarious guys, so I hope you enjoy it.

TIE DAY MEDIA: September update

Things have been mostly quiet around these parts these days, but we've a lot of updates to share with you, both about our work and work we've contributed to. To begin with, our short film ALL DRESSED UP is in post-production and has been selected to appear at the BIG APPLE FILM FESTIVAL in November. We premiered DISPLAY last year, and are excited to be returning to this fun filmmaker friendly festival. Watch the trailer for All Dressed Up.

Also, our friends over at WOODY GUTHRIE DREAMS have opened to great success at Theater For the New City downtown. We shot a trailer for them, which you can view HERE.

Lastly, our production of HUMAN FRUIT BOWL opened to great acclaim in Prague back in July, and we were thrilled to see the show win the Kreativni cena (Creative Award) at the Prague Fringe. The show also just recently opened in Amsterdam, and will also be playing the HONG KONG MICROFEST in October. Should you be anywhere near Hong Kong, check it out. That's it for now. We'll be updating with more details soon. Hope everyone is having a great beginning of fall!

TIE DAY MEDIA: May update

Tie Day has had a busy few months, and we're here with some updates. First off, our first theatrical endeavor, HUMAN FRUIT BOWL, will be premiering at the Prague Fringe Festival in just under two weeks. Liam and actress Harmony Stempel are traveling to Prague in the next week to participate in the festival. For more information on the wonderful Prague Fringe, click HERE.

We're also quite busy with our video work. We've been working with Tie Day regular Ben Thomas on a trailer for Woody Guthrie Dreams, a play premiering in New York in September. The trailer concept was created by Ben and actor/playwright Michael Flanagan Smith, directed by Liam and shot by Jun, who created some amazing images. We look forward to premiering that shortly.

Additionally, we've just shot a video for MARKET LAUNCH GROUP, a new technology based consulting firm. The films will feature Tie Day regulars Kevin Condardo and Sarah Painter. More details forthcoming.

Finally, we have a few smaller projects in the works, and one short film which will be done in the summer after a long period of post production.

As you can tell, it's a busy time. Keep following us on TWITTER for updates. Have a great month!

TIE DAY Update: March 19, 2011

Hello Tie Day fans! We're pleased to announce not only a new promo, but an entirely new venture for Tie Day Media.

Tie Day Media is co-producing, along with our dear friend and frequent collaborator Harmony Stempel, an original show called HUMAN FRUIT BOWL, which stars Harmony herself and is written by New York City based playwright Andrea Kuchlewska.  Liam Billingham is directing the one-woman show, which explores the relationship between the artist and the model, using the historically controversial relationship between French painter Pierre Bonnard and his model/lover Renee Monchaty as a basis. Monchaty reportedly killed herself in a bathtub upon hearing of Bonnard's marriage.

The show will be premiering at the Prague Fringe Festival in May, and we're looking for funding to take the show to Prague on kickstarter. You can find out more, and see the promotional video we shot for the show. The video features stunning cinematography by Tie Day founder Jun Igarashi, and stars Harmony and Liam, along with Samuel Wade Levy, a New York City based artist who is contributing work to the project. Take a look HERE.

Well, that's all from Tie Day for now. We are still in the editing phase of our short film ALL DRESSED UP, but expect some photos soon!

Have a nice weekend everyone!

FRIDAY is TIE DAY: February 4, 2011

Hello Tie Day followers! TIE DAY is busy all weekend with the shoot for our new short, which would explain the lateness of this post.

Yesterday we shot from 10am to 10pm in two locations, Astoria Park and in an apartment in Astoria. Today we resume shooting and will finish tomorrow hopefully in time for the super bowl!

Follow our twitter feed for updates, and be sure to check in next week with any new updates! - Tie Day.

FRIDAY is TIE DAY: January 28, 2011

FRIDAY is upon us, and so, therefore, is a TIE DAY update.

Lots of exciting news in the film department. We can confirm the shoot of our new short, tentatively titled HOME, for next weekend.

HOME is a psychological thriller/domestic horror film. It details the relationship between three people on one cold evening. It will star Ben Thomas, CJ Lewis, and, newly added to the cast, miss Harmony Stempel. The film is written, produced, and directed by Liam Billingham. The cinematography is by Jun Igarashi, sound/music by Nick Nelson, Art Direction by Aria Chiodo, as well as support by other fine film artists.

The film will be shot over the course of next weekend, and is somewhat of the final film in a thematic trilogy that started with OVERHEAD and continued on with DISPLAY. We're deep into pre-production, and very excited to get started.

Also, last weekend we had a chance to shoot a new video with Kotchy and Jared Mezzocchi for Kotchy's new album TWO. It as exciting and innovative as the last one, and we can't wait to show it to you!

We hope you have a nice weekend, and we'll see you soon. Be sure to keep checking the site and our twitter feed for updates!

FRIDAY is TIE DAY: January 14, 2011

Hello all fans of TIE DAY!

We've got a very exciting development to tell you about today. We're announcing the beginning of pre-production on our new short film, which we will shoot in early February. It is a 'domestic horror/thriller' film whose plot we intend to keep secret, lest we ruin the surprise!

It is the final film in a series that started with OVERHEAD and our Big Apple Film Fest entry DISPLAY, and will be written and directed (as well as produced) by yours truly. It will feature Ben Thomas, Sarah Painter (previously seen in DISPLAY), and CJ Lewis (whom you may remember from our original web series BECKET LOGAN).

The film will be shot by DP JUN IGARASHI, and scored/sound designed by NICK NELSON. Jun and I will be doing the editing.

Right now there's a lot of talk and planning going on, and we'll be back with more details, along with announcements of new projects, in the coming weeks! Thanks a lot, and keep reading!

-Liam
