Dear Readers, Watchers, and avid Bird enthusiast.
We found a Wikipedia article about us (FOTF). It was quite accurate to the truth. We were flattered that it was on there.
Unfortunately those Wiccans over at Wikipedia took it down, as they deem it as "Not valuable".
Those Dinks. Oh well, just a fun fact about us we guess we wanted to share. We had our day of fame on Wikipedia.
Til Next Time,
Don't do something we wouldn't do.

Fresh off the Gratitude
Hey Internet,
Aaron "Subsaharan" Rajan here. How have you been? You look plump with a fine balance of actual information and seedy adult content. But I digress...
The last few weeks have been quite exciting for us at the "Fresh off the Film" labs. It's an interesting business, this film industry innit? It really has it's ups and downs, but as with many things in life, it's important to realize when you're on the upswing. And I would definitely say we're on the upswing.
Our first chunk of good fortune has come in the shape our latest video, "Bye Bye Braz Braz." Not only have we been lucky enough for it to have reached over 800 views in its first week and a bit, we've most importantly created something that we really enjoy. While we're definitely keen to have people watch our stuff, we've realized that our best work is the stuff we genuinely like, and without a doubt, "Bye Bye Braz Braz" surely meets that criteria. At that same token, we're really appreciative of everyone that's watched it and who will continue to watch our flicks as we develop into solid filmmakers.
The next tidbit is regarding the last skit we just shot this week. This is our first production in which we actually used extras and characters outside the "Fresh off the Film" world. It's a quirky piece that takes place in a group sex etiquette class. That's right, there is etiquette to a body-party. While we were shooting, we had a rendez-vous with the boys in blue. Let's just say, there was a half naked man in a trench coat, which is never easy to explain. Bryan "Charbroiled" Brooks will be taking the reins on editing this one, which means it's gonna be good. Real good. So stay tuned.
A friend of the family, Mike Koncan, is setting up a variety show at Ryerson called "Friday Night Live." It is an SNL-type show featuring the work from students in my program, Radio and Television Arts. He's been kind enough to ask that we submit our skits and create new ones to work as fillers and commercials. This will be shown over campus, online and (fingers crossed) could be nominated for an award in the RTA program come next May.
Cineplex has a competition to create 15 second commercials featuring their "Scene Card." Bryan and I have been brainstorming and we've come up with 12 creative ideas for commercials. We'll need your help, Internet, to win this and you haven't failed us before (not counting being "Rick Rolled" weekly).
That's all for this week. There is going to be a plethora of new skits and shorts in the months to come and we hope you'll be there to watch them.
Yours,
Aaron

Man oh Man!
Aaron "Taj Mahal" Rajan and I just got back from shooting the next skit "Group Lessons" Which is about a teacher teaching night school for proper Etiquette in a Orgy.
All joking aside. I'm scared.
Well, I'll tell you from the start.
Aaron "The Wife Fucker" Rajan shitted out 4 short scripts in one night. Due to extreme exhaustion. They all turned out to be Hilarious.
Months later we shoot one of them called The Mustache skit. Which did well for itself.
Aaron "Sheba" Rajan and I have many skits written, or just the ideas of them. The last one, Bye Bye Braz Braz was just my idea that I mentioned to Aaron over the phone. I said "Imagine a skit were you desert your unwanted pets, but instead of pets, it's Braz!" So we're always doing what we can do to get this ball rolling.
The deal was I was supposed to use an HD camera. But that flopped (that's one thing in filmmaking that I've learned. A mixture of Murphey's Law and to learn to except the worst.)
Then we tried to find some last minute places. I managed to find one! But when shooting we noticed how bad the echo was. Man, I wish it was like the movies where I could just do a montage to get things done fast!
So we get there me, Aaron "The Drunk Tank" Rajan, and 6 other actors. (by the way thank you so much TJ, Holly, Kate, Courtney, Nunu, and Woozle). We act it all out. and then the COPS drop in because they think we're B & E'ing (No, not bacon and eggs like the in last Blog Bn'E, this is Breaking and Entering bn'e).
Well luckily we had 4 beautiful girls there Holly, Kate, Courtney and myself to make them leave!
Anyways we ended up wrapping at a good time.
I really wish we had a proper crew, lights, SOUND, other equipment, etc.
If we did have a proper A.D. we'd know what shots we'd still have to get. I felt like we missed a lot and won't have enough coverage. You see it's easy for me Braz and Aaron "Cop Killer" Rajan to shoot. Because we're not worrying about the well being of others!
So lots of stress with a big group. But I know Aaron "Baron" Rajan and I will make this skit work!

Fresh off the Confession
Dearest reader.
This is Bryan from FOTF. OH Tis hard to really make it big in thy film Biz.
Really, I mean, I know when I wrote "Dear reader", no one is reading this.
Aaron Braz and Myself and beginning to have our doubts about this project.
Insanity is beginning to strike. I know when ever I look into Braz's eyes, he's going to
eat me. For you see, I am the weakest one on this boat and since starvation has set in,
people do strange things.
I woke up this morning and saw that Aaron was pretending to make B + E, or Bacon and
Eggs for all you none school goes. The life vessel is now withering away from all the poo and
sun rays. I'm not quite sure why we needed to keep the poo, why couldn't we have just pooed off the side of the boat. But Aaron and Braz both think this to be unladylike of us.
Save us, SAVE US!
There you guys go,, that's the story-metaphore or Storaphore for all you non school goes, for this week's update, I hope to never do it again. What I was getting at is that the three of us want to get this ball rolling. The Ball being the scripts and the hill being, hmm. I let you folks decipher that one.
Until next time,
Yours, FOTF

So thank you fellow FOTF'ers (or F'ers for short), who watched it over and over and sent it around to many other friends.If you STILL haven't seen it (lame), or just want to watch it again and comment on it while sending it around; meanwhile, you're subscribing to our youtube page (awesome), here's the Link.

Fresh off the Second Draft
Dear Lady Internet,
How is your health? I pray you are doing well and are in good company. Here are some recent updates in the life that I sometimes partake in:
My colleague/friend/brother/M to my S in S&M, Bryan "Corrugated Box" Brooks, and I have of late developed a few new ideas. Morcels of ideas, if you will.
This upcoming weekend, Bryan and myself will be aiding in the shooting of a music video directed by Rodney Dwire. In addition i'll start over her for some reason: we are planning on shooting our next skit. As well, in the week of next, our latest skit "That's What She Said" will be up and running.
Standby, you sultry temptress.
Yours, truly & sincerely,
Aaron "Imma let you finish" Rajan
