Hey gang,
Ron here. We love making these short films and I'm sure that if you are here reading this, you love watching them. This is where we need your help. Certain things have come up in regards to production on the new short film, "BETA TESTING", and we need to take care of them long before production.
The point I'm trying to make is this; We have no issues with giving away the content that we shoot. We love hearing your feedback and appreciate all the support we've gotten from the internet community.
If you even just liked one of our shorts now's the chance to help us. There is a donate button on the side of the page and we could really use any kind of donation that you could spare. We know times are tough, but anything you could give would be really appreciated.
If you can't give, at least share this with someone. Our goal is $300. I know that with your support we can meet this. If someone donates a large amount, we can work out something in return like signed props or scripts, or you can see the short before anyone else and be listed IN the short as a producer.
So internet family, we look to you. We need your help. Thank you.

Stand Up from Open Mic - 11/18/09
Here is the newest stand up from the open mic on Nov. 18, 2009. I cover topics like Twilight, Highlander, Magic the Gathering and Maury. Please enjoy. (the crowd was literally not there. I was performing to kitchen workers and other performers. But a gig is a gig right?)
Help
I know there are times when I am trivial when a camera breaks and needs a repair, or something silly like that.
But this time things are really tough. There is a medical bill that needs taking care of. It's not much, but it's more than what comes in. What some of you may or may not know, as a vocation I take care of my disabled mother. The medical bill that has come up may put a financal damper on that. I need to raise $265 dollars by the 30th of November or this goes further and will DEFINATELY put a damper on the care of my disabled mother. My mother is confind to a hospital bed and needs help getting everywhere she goes. She needs countless medications and specialized transport to get anywhere when she does leave the house. If further action is taken on this bill, co-payments, special diets and many other things will not be able to be met and will make the struggle that much harder.
So please, if you are reading this, anything you can donate at the bottom of the page would be appreciated. I will try to come up with some way to thank you on a grand scale, because this is something that I cannot just let slide.
I thank you in advance.
Ron

We Need Your Help!
We here at Vinyl & VILLAINS have come upon a situation where we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
While getting ready to shoot a promo, the camera popped and then started to smoke. Right at the time when we need it the most.
We can get the new one this weekend if we can come up with about 200 dollars. If we have to order it, we won't get it in time for the event at the beginning of December. So here is where we can use your help.
If you send in ONE DOLLAR, the hope is that we get enough donations to get the camera so we can keep things rolling.
So please just click the donation button here on the site and if you can, help out. It pains us to ask, and if we didn't have to, we wouldn't but we need your help.
Thank you.

Tournament Finals!
A little over a month ago, we debuted the Pop Culture Smackdown Tournament! It has been a rousing success.
It started off with the brackets that you see above and there have been some major upsets. It all ends now.
These two "warriors" are now poised in battle in the finals of this pop culture smackdown tournament!
From The Crow who has won some VERY close match ups with The Punisher and Jayne Cobb to The Doctor who has basically walked all over everyone that has gotten in his way.
Who do YOU think will win? Vote today!
