Hello Interwebs! This week I break down TPM's classic short film: Planet of the Beavers: Reloaded. This project marked the point when our company's ambitions began to outgrow our capabilities.

"Stop bugging me Justin!" Hello Interwebs! Today I offer a behind-the-scenes exclusive on the stories and creative process behind TPM's YouTube short Why So Curious. This is perhaps our strangest project to date as a company (and we're the same guys who created Seagull-Man), so you probably have some questions.

A Thought Plane Media classic Hello Interwebs! This week I analyze TPM's very first short film, Planet of the Beavers!

Hello interwebs! For this week's article, I have a story for you:
Two years ago Justin and I went on an impromptu expedition to New York state on the pretense of mining for diamonds (I'll explain that momentarily). Today I break down what we learned in our 3 days abroad: namely, the mythologized idea of New York City is vastly different to the NYC reality. Our documentary film Two Hosers: Three Days in New York serves as a comedic look at a haphazard weekend getaway, but it also showcases the goofier version of stories more tragic than our own. My poem "Good Day M'Lady" was originally written quite different (click here for the original). Everything was the same, except for the final stanza, but it is in that final stanza, a completely different meaning can be found. I prefer this one personally, but found it in better taste to publish it the way it is now.
