522 Productions enters the 48 Hour Film Festival
Last weekend (for the 2nd year in a row) we at 522 Productions entered the 48 Hour Film Festival under our creative alter-ego… 3/4 Films. “Oh, how cute!” you might say. Sure. It’s cute… but it’s more baby grizzly bear cute. Lotta fun can be had… but it still has the potential to tear your […]

The Armed Forces Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to “serving those who serve” (their motto) by providing financial and other types of assistance to service members and their families. Their […]
