I wanted to plug and write about some cool projects I was lucky enough to contribute to that are screening at the VC Film Festival (among others) in Los Angeles coming up this April 29th-May 8th. The following works all have been gracious enough to feature music from Big Phony in their films and in a couple, believe it or not they even let me (or made me) act in them. I know, what is this world coming to? If you’re around the LA area please try and make it out. Tickets to these screenings are all available now!
