  • Denver's Premier Comedy Group Brings Sitcom Opportunity Home

    April 19th, 2013 / Comments (7)

    Those Who Can't is a sitcom pilot created and written by Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy and Andrew Orvedahl — also known as the Denver-based comedy group The Grawlix. The pilot was optioned by Amazon Studios in 2012 and premieres TODAY on Amazon's website. Watch it here and give it a vote.

    The pilot will be available free for a full month on Amazon Instant Video. Shot entirely in Denver by directors Evan and Adam Nix, who also edited the project, the pilot utilizes local crew and actors as well as nationally known comic actors Kyle Kinane, Rory Scovel and Nikki Glaser. Those Who Can't was produced in conjunction with Denver-based Image Brew and 3Arts Entertainment (Louie, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia), and stars the members of The Grawlix as three delinquent public school teachers fighting to stay employed at the floundering Buchanan High School.

    If the show gets picked up and production stays in Colorado, this could be a huge opportunity for the local creative community. Vote it up, baby.

  • #SiteLaunch: A Small Print Shop

    April 18th, 2013 / Comments (1)

    We've previously recommended A Small Print Shop here in town as THE place to get t-shirts printed. They're high quality, fast delivery, low hassle. They've just relaunched their site. It's responsive, and AJAX loading — with big image galleries to show off the goods.

    Here's a little taste of their philosophy they call "Slow Burn:"

    If you've spent any time with us (maybe just Stephen), you'll probably hear one of us say "Slow Burn" at one point or another. "Slow Burn" is our (mostly funny to say) stance on doing business in a world focused on blistering efficiency. To us, the words "Slow Burn" represent doing things the right way, the first time, when the time comes. Our shop will never be too big or too busy to care about doing things the right way. We're not a faceless manufacturing plant; we're people that care about everything we create.

    You don't have to sacrifice quality for speed, and with us, you won't. We have some of the fastest turnaround times in the state, and with our speed comes finely-tuned attention to detail.

    Check out the site at: www.asmallprintshop.net.
