CineForge Media has had the pleasure of collaborating with the awesome administrators, faculty and student creatives at the brand new Huntington University Digital Media Arts film school in Peoria, Az over the last few months! Shortly After being introduced to the new film school by our friend and colleague (and now Az State Film Commissioner), Matthew Earl Jones, we have had the opportunity to mentor and collaborate with some of Huntington's best and brightest, and we have been very impressed by the quality of character and artistry these next-generation filmmakers coming from the University represent.  When the chance to move our offices on site to the University arose, we jumped at the chance to be neighbors with the coolest, newest film school in the West Valley. CineForge Media couldn't be happier with the new creative space and we look forward to it serving as a hub for West Valley film, while working with Huntington University throughout the year ahead towards building the local Az film community together. We can't wait to have our friends, family, supporters and clients to the NEW CineForge Media headquarters soon! Check out the VLOG from the move-in, shot on the good ol' iPhone....because well, all our gear was crated up for the move and there's no excuse not to shoot something when you always have a camera in your pocket. More to come!
 If music and sound are thought to be the "soul of cinema", then there could be no better pairing of two entities such as CineForge Media and The Browning Group Inc.
We are very excited to announce our strategic partnership going into 2017 with The Browning Group, Inc. Inc., a multi-faceted company that specializes in management, touring and festivals, event and meeting production, staffing and consulting for prestige artists and acts worldwide. Representing artists such as Linkin Park, Melanie Martinez, Matchbox20, Neon Trees and more... CineForge Media looks forward to continuing to produce music videos and support content for world-class artists, and with the newly formed alliance with The Browning Group Inc., we can already hear the music ringing in the New Year...and the chorus is chanting "2K17 is going to ROCK!" To learn more about CineForge Media and to view their music video reel, click HERE: http://www.cineforgemedia.com/music-videos.html To learn more about The Browning Group Inc, Click HERE: http://www.tbgincglobal.com/media/film/ We couldn't be more excited about 2017 and all that we have planned. From major label music videos, to producing our company’s first feature film, we are setting the bar very high for ourselves. A major part of our strategy is to build up the Arizona film scene and create lasting jobs for the talented men and women working here. The stage is set, the talent is in queue, and the pieces are just waiting to be put together. We have partnered with some amazing affiliates who will be instrumental in accomplishing these goals with us. But first some background on who CineForge is… A year ago Scott and Jeremy met over the interwebs and hit it off as kindred spirits. A couple months later they created a short film together titled "Show No Mercy" Starring Martin Kove (Karate Kid, Rambo) and Jesse Kove (The Last Race, As Night Comes). The film screened at Phoenix Comicon to a packed theater of fans. Shortly after, the film was picked up for distribution by Green Apple Entertainment, and is slated for a world premiere in January of 2017. After the great experience of Show No Mercy, Scott and Jeremy began working together more frequently, becoming a force multiplier for one another, and decided to officially join forces to set their eyes on much larger goals: Producing studio-quality feature films and other forms of market-worthy, high concept, creative content. Scott and Jeremy each have over 10 years of experience in the industry from working within the Hollywood studio system, top-tier broadcast, and producing content for major label artists and prestige brands. The culmination of these experiences has coalesced into a laser-focused passion to put their talents to use to create great independent films, against all preconceived odds, and outside of the rigid formulaic constraints of the Old-Guard Studio Regime. In the first quarter of 2017 CineForge will be engaged with its strategic partners to: Premiere a Documentary on Game Jams and independent game developers, be in pre-production on a feature film, and will be producing music videos for major label artists. We believe in creating lifelong relationships with creatives and fostering the next generations of filmmakers. The value and contributions of a great crew can never be underestimated. A vibrant and collaborative community trumps a hostile “me vs you” environment every time and we try to lead by example. If you are interested in networking with us as a crew member, actor, intern, or an affiliate please send an email so we can chat! The Forge is now open for business….
