A comedy series about three band members and the hijinks they get into while trying to find a singer to keep their band - and friendships - together.
For those that follow Houmans on social media, you’ll know we aren’t breaking news with this post. Regardless, it doesn’t take away our excitement to announce the cast of Track 0: White Cup Ent. These fine people have accepted to join our proof-of-concept episode, and we couldn’t be happier. Two of these characters, Jo and Tony, also play a major role in The Series. We can’t wait to show you more from Track 0.
It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally holding auditions for Houmans. More specifically, we’re holding auditions for our proof-of-concept episode titled Track 0: White Cup Ent.
The episode is a prequel to the Houmans series and acts as a stand-alone episode. It tells the story of Jorge ‘Jo’ Escobedo and his store, White Cup Ent., and the life-changing decision he must make. Should Jo expand the store or return to the music industry?
Track 0 features a couple of characters from Houmans: The Series and a couple of new ones that we’re sure you’ll fall in love with.

Hi there! It's been a while since you've heard from us and a lot has changed in that time. Both for Houmans: The Series, and the world at large.

Read MoreWhen we first started talking about Houmans, we always envisioned self-funding the project. We wrote the nine-episode series with that in mind. Unfortunately, we were both recently fired from our respective jobs.
Now, both of us are hustling to generate income to pay bills, which leaves little in the way of setting funds aside for passion projects. But we still want to bring this series to the world.
Read MoreThe best way to imagine a storyboard is as a comic book. Except every square is the same size and the words are added below the frame of the square. There is an illustration in these squares for every frame of the film/video that is going to be shot.
Storyboards have been around since the silent film era, however contemporary methods were developed in the animation world (looking at you Disney). Who knew having dozens of illustrators in one place would help you develop a method for drawing out what you want in a film?
Read MoreTwo guys who wrote a series about a band must like movies about bands, right? We had our two show creators tell us about their favorite film about a band.
Read MorePre-production is without a doubt the hardest of the three when you’re an independent filmmaker. Most get into the field because we’re visual creators or writers, but good pre-production requires talents that don’t come naturally to us. It requires producing, which is the film way of saying business management and planning.
Oh dear God, the planning.
