Tapping into 11B nostalgia from last fall and the heart in it all 🎥🎬💃🏻🕺🏻

The direction, the filming, the rehearsing, the producing, the networking, the late night lists, the many hats worn - it was all fascinating and new for most of us. There was a lot of figuring it out along the way and last minute changes but amazing to see it all come together so beautifully. We love looking back and seeing how far we’ve come as a team in just a little over a year. (*also can’t believe it’s already been over a year*)

11 Blocks had a ball with @wildsoundfestival on their podcast!

From our accidental writing process, to our director @npclaridad saving our script, then Jack’s glowup & Ashley’s agreement with men’s facial hair, it’s safe to say not a lot was left out.

And yet, we have so much more to say! (Shocker) But for now, tune in via the link below to listen to us gab about our short.

Big thank you to Matthew Tofollo & @wildsoundfestival, we loved hangin!

We are so in love with the film festival process, and even better, we have more festivals are in the works! 🤞🏼❤️‍🔥

Stay tuned lovers! 💖

The Lavender Riot Film Festival was the perfect way to kick off our US premiere! It was most fun to meet other creatives and see other fantastic films as well as see ours on screen in front of an audience 🎉❤️‍🔥

Thank you to #lavenderriotfilmfestival for a one of a kind experience! It was a blast to attend and an absolute honor to be selected to screen amongst other incredibly inspiring work such as @blatellafilms and @annarclary (let alone be in the room with them and become friends.) Damn! WHAT ARE WE, FAMOUS OVA HERE?!

We can’t wait to see where your festival goes in the coming years! #letsgopeay

Thank you to @z.g.johnson & @emma_bulleit & sweet Archie for taking care of us so graciously, we had a blast!

@kzanghi03 thank you for going out of your way to help with the transportation, it jump-started our first moments in Tennessee with so much pizazz ⚡️

So much more to come but for now …

💥 HAPPY PREMIERE 11 BLOCKS! 🌟

Its been two weeks since our rehearsal and all we can think about is what a dream it all was! Set dress, blocking, late night shenanigans, costumes, and all the magic working together. We had a blast stumbling through our world we’ve created as it came to life with @npclaridad’s vision, @catalinmedia’s guidance, and @cody_leroy_wilson’s humor! We couldn’t feel more lucky to have gotten to experience this together! More to come from our fun weekend…

Check-in time! We are over the moon to share the news that out of 100 applicants, #11BlocksToGo has been chosen as one of 17 grant recipients of the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance! @nomaanyc

For the next year, we will be using the grant and the gorgeous uptown space to solidify, workshop, and lock down a proof of concept sizzle reel of our pilot! Once we have that, it is PITCH TIME!

Thank you ALL for sticking by us, rooting for us, or hoping we’d fail (you know who you are, and honestly thanks for the inspiration 😈😛 but also this isn’t anyone because you have all been a dream), we are so excited to finally have something to show you all!

More soon! Jack and Ashley!

Sometimes Valentines Day is stupid. Sometimes it’s great because your favorite Valentine is your drunk little besty being the best somewhere…. Even if that somewhere is 4,958 mi away…

Happy V day Bebe.
(Not to be confused with vagina day… although that’s a great day too… happy Valentines AND Vagina day)
🫶🏼💓🍻
