(Short) Suit Yourself

Jabez Film Productions is proud to present their new short film, Suit Yourself. Inspired by a true story, Suit Yourself follows Jack and his unconventional family as they strive to make his one simple dream come true: to wear a suit to work. Challenged by his autism and sometimes quirky ways, finding a job at all isn’t easy. But with force of will and a little luck, the family discovers that sometimes the best solution is the one you’re not looking for—and that some dreams are meant to come true no matter what. Ultimately, Jack finds what suits him best. Filmed entirely in Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, North Carolina with the new RED Rock micro cinema-lens adaptor and a Panasonic HVX 200A high performance camera, Suit Yourself features the look of 35mm with the flexibility of digital technology, allowing for quick shooting and editing in a variety of locations, rain and shine. With the support and collaboration of several professional individuals and organizations, such as Rendered Communications and Appsro Editing, Suit Yourself is a project of the heart and an example of the kind of inspiring work Jabez Film Productions specializes in.

(Feature) Dead End Job

Think you’ve made the wrong career choice? Meet Robert Monroe. After being fired from his job at a video game store, he is given an ultimatum by his girlfriend, Jenn; get a real job or hit the road. With the help of his roommate, Jacob, he will pound the pavement to find anything that will keep Jenn from leaving him. A chance visit to the R & A office lands him a job that could just be the death of him. A tongue-in-cheek dark comedy and first feature film from writer/director William Lilly. Starring Tim Rogus, Lee Armstrong, Carl Guthrie, Jessica Long, and Richard Gaither.

Also I’m going to do an experiment.  I know there’s a lot of people that are in love with our Raspberry Wheat and that’s good, but with this experiment I plan to make it even better.  I just ordered some fruit puree from Oregon and plan on trying out a batch of Raspberry with the puree.  I’ve used the puree before and had great results at other breweries so I think that our diehard Razz drinkers shouldn’t have a problem enjoying the new and improved Raspberry Wheat.  It is a slightly more expensive product than what I’m using now, but we don’t mind here at FSB.  We would rather bring you a better product since we’re that passionate about our beer.  So keep an eye out for the new Raspberry Wheat in about a month or so.  I’ll be sure to save some of the older Raspberry so some of you can compare each beer side by side and let me know what you think.  Happy Summer!!!

Cheers,

Kev

So we waited and waited and waited and then had a beer………then waited a little bit more.  It was finally time to transfer that beer to its serving tank.  Hopes were high…spirits were up…..and then they were crushed when we realized that the ring was neither in the bottom of the fermenter, nor in any of the hop bags that we dry hopped the beer with.  We were crushed.  We figured he might have dropped it in the alley or somewhere outside……thus most certainly being picked up by a gypsy where it was most certainly then melted down and turned into a medallion that could cast evil spells on people.  Or maybe he lost it elsewhere.  Either way it was nowhere to be found and we were both sad.  So we had a beer.

Yesterday I was brewing our American Amber.  It’s a fairly hoppy beer with a nice helping of American hops.  As I was adding a bucket of the hops I heard a strange clank on the bottom of the kettle.  I thought little of it.  After emptying the kettle I was spraying out the kettle getting rid of all the excess hops when I spotted what looked to me like treasure.  I was ecstatic.   Finally it was my turn.  I could get this treasure and melt it down into a medallion that could cast evil spells on people……or take it to the pawn shop and get some quick cash for it.  So I looked around to make sure noone saw me and jumped in the kettle to claim my precious.  When I picked it up I realized what it was.  This ring would not turn me invisible, nor would it make me rich beyond my wildest dreams, nor would it make me supreme leader of the gypsy realm.  It was in fact Tim’s wedding ring.  Apparently he must have lost it in one of the open bags of hops that we store in the walk in cooler.  While opening a bag to dry hop that beer a month ago it must have fell in there and sat for another month until I used that particular hop again.  After returning the ring to Tim he was pleased.  His wife was more pleased and his mom was most pleased.  It was a happy ending.  One day hopefully I’ll find treasure that I can claim as my own.

As for new beers on the way.  I will be transferring a Baltic Porter soon.  10 kegs of that will be going to the St. Stan’s Polish Festival  on November 7th.   I’m of Polish heritage so I’ll be sure to be out there enjoying some of the beer and food.  I’ll have a Double IPA coming out within the next two weeks as well.  Both the Baltic Porter and Double IPA are firsts for Front St.
