We're a Houston-based creative collective led by Joseph Graham and Justin Petty, focused on storytelling across multiple mediums. What started as music video work has evolved into a broader creative practice encompassing film (short and feature-length), podcasting, and now literature.

Justin Petty has written and directed two feature films: "Someone Dies!" and "Nothing Really Happens." Joseph Graham is currently working on a novel. Together, we host "Trash Movie Kings," a podcast celebrating the art of so-bad-it's-good cinema.

Our work spans narrative film, music videos, commercials, and marketing campaigns, always with an eye toward the unexpected. We've been featured across platforms including Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Funny or Die, and screened at film festivals including Fantastic Fest, Chattanooga Film Festival, and Toronto After Dark. Our projects have found homes everywhere from Stereogum and NPR Music to multiple large scale entertainment venues across Texas.

We're drawn to projects that embrace the weird, the wonderful, and the wonderfully weird. Whether it's a music video, a commercial campaign, or something we haven't thought of yet, we want to make it interesting.

We want fun. So we make it.
