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 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!
-Tie Day.
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!

Friday is here again, and after a break to celebrate various holidays, Tie Day Media is back to work!
We hope you had a relaxing holiday, as we did. We're already back to work on various projects, including a new short film written and directed by Liam, shot by Jun, with sound design and music by Tie Day regular NICK NELSON. Also, you may be seeing some past Tie Day collaborators popping up. Details are still coming together, so keep your eye on the site.
In addition, we will be shooting another music video for KOTCHY, who you may remember from our previous video, directed by Jared Mezzocchi and with nearly 30,000 hits on Vimeo! The whole team will be returning for this video, with Jun and I serving as directors of photography.

FRIDAY is TIE DAY, and we're back with another update! You may have seen our promotional video for COHStyled, but if you haven't, take a look HERE. It was a great project to work on, and we're glad everyone is thrilled with result! Feedback has been excellent.
We're also very excited to show everyone our promo we did for the Public Theater's Holiday Party this year. It was shot, edited, and online in less than 12 hours, and features old friend (and one of the original founders of Tie Day Pictures) Kevin Condardo. Watch it HERE.
Things will be slowing down for Tie Day for the next few weeks, as the holiday season is in full gear. But please enjoy our content here and on VIMEO. We also uploaded a neat little short film called AFTER DINNER, which was shot and edited in about an hour a few months ago. It was a completely unplanned little exercise. Enjoy!
If you aren't following us on TWITTER, you can do so HERE. We post updates frequently.
We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday season and New Year! See you in 2011!
Friday means a Tie Day update, and we have big news this week: We have a a new promo available for you to watch. This one is for COHStyled, an image and brand consulting company run by the very talented Chris Oh. Check the promo out HERE and Chris' website HERE.
Things are slowing down a bit for Tie Day Media until the new year, but we will be posting another video next week that we did for the Public Theater. Until then, enjoy our new work and be sure to look at some of our other work, including our short Display, which will be playing tonight at the Producer's Club as part of a small festival put together by filmmaker Zef Cota.
We'll be back next week with our latest video! Enjoy!

The weekend is upon us, so it's time for the FRIDAY is TIE DAY blog. We're a bit late, as it's been a busy week for TIE DAY. We shot, edited, and delivered a short holiday for the Public Theater in under 12 hours, and we're really thrilled with the results, which will be available for you to view in just over a week. The video is bit different from our previous work, and lot of fun, so we're looking forward to sharing it with you.
We've also completed a video for Chris Oh of COHStyled, a great brand and image consulting company. We had a blast working on this video, and hope to work with Chris again in the future. That video will be available shortly. Please keep your eyes on the site to see it!
We're also right now editing SULTAN STOVER's short OVER BEFORE IT BEGAN, which is a great short we hope to have to you soon!
With 3 other projects in the works, Tie Day is having a busy holiday season! Please keep following the updates to find out what's next!

We also had a reading of the script for the feature OUR TEN-YEAR THAILAND REUNION, a dark comedy in the very early stages of development. Readers included Tie Day veterans Kevin Condardo, Sarah Painter, Sebastian Piemonte (both of whom were featured in our Big Apple FIlm Festival entry Display), Tom Offer-Westort, and Sonya LeBrun, as well as new collaborators Ben Thomas and Megan O'Conner. I will be directing from my own script, and Jun will be acting as cinematographer on this project.

It's Friday again, and so it's time for Friday Is Tie Day Update. We've had a busy week, and we're excited to tell you all about it.
First off, We're proud to announce our collaboration with Chris Oh of COHStyled, a very talented and creative personal brand and style consultant. The video is in the final stages of editing, and will be online for you to see following its premiere on her site. I acted as director/editor on the video, and Jun served as Director of Photography and also edited. Keep your eyes peeled for the video!
Also, we've finished photography on Sultan Stover's short Over Before It Began. The shoot was last weekend, and involved some very talented people. Nick Nelson came on board to handle sound, while I produced/assistant directed and Jun shot. We can't announce a definite release for the film, but watch the site for updates!
Finally, we're thrilled to announce that we will be shooting the Public Theater's Holiday Invitation Video. It's sure to be a hilarious and enjoyable video!
Well, that's it on our end. We hope you've enjoyed the blog update, and we'll be back next week with a Thanksgiving weekend update!
Enjoy the weekend -Liam
This week is a busy one for Tie Day Media. We began the week with a fashion video, which is currently in the editing phases, and tomorrow we begin production on Sultan Stover's OVER BEFORE IT BEGAN. I have been functioning as producer on the 12 minute short, and Jun is the Cinematographer. We've brought on Composer/Recorder Nick Nelson as our sound guy. Sultan will round out production as director of his own script. Production begins tomorrow in Brooklyn, and will continue through Sunday. It's a tight schedule and involves lots of different elements coming together. So far things have gone smoothly. We're very excited for production!
Last week was the premiere of our film Display at the Big Apple Film Festival. It was an amazing experience, and highly recommended for all independent filmmakers. We met some amazing people, and the people at BAFF really took care of us. DIsplay premiered to a packed house and was very well recieved. Now the film is available online. Watch it HERE.
The video for Kotchy's Sometimes I Get Down , which Jun and I shot, is doing extremely well. We are within inches of hitting 20,000 hits, which is really exciting. Check it out!
Back next week with the latest updates and reminders.
Have a nice week!
-Liam
