WOLF PRODUCTIONS
For real guys its not funny there serios.
The following was taken directly from the WOLF's website (with great risk as "everything is copyrighted") Some of my thoughts are in BLUE. Keep in mind this guy apparently graduated from a real college.
Official Statement
There has been a lot of talk about productions created by Wolf Productions, so we thought (oh they did more than think about it) to come out with an offical (official or ofecal (poop's funny right?)??) statement (all serious film creators have one).
First, we don't need people pointing out these productions are low budget (well you obviously aren't getting it on your own), because its ("it's" maybe?)a given, however, we like the term Independant (Indy) Films(Indy "films" are AWESOME). So, if you plan on quoting on(how do you "quote on" something?) what the productions are including budget are...their ("they're" right???)Indy Films(maybe he wrote their becuase he didn't want 3 are's in one sentance).
Second, stop placing trailers, stills, or other materials from the website on other websites without the permission of Wolf Productions. They are copyrighted! (See I could get in big trouble!)
Third, some comments were mentioned by Jared Hess in recent interviews with Gentlemen Broncos (I wouldn't admit to interviewing with Gentlemen Broncos, of course it's probably his own magazine), that I thought (that thought thing again) to clarify. When "Gifted One's (not The Mutants)" came out, it was losely (losely it most definitely was) off of X-Men, it was Stephen Groo's senior Project at school (this guy went to school for this crap??) to help learn basic SFX's, Costume Design, Makeup, and character development (he does wonderful lessons on character development ... $99.95 per session). Circle of Fire was not based off the Lord of the Rings (Batguy was not based on Batman it just came out 2 months after), just came out around the same time (I got a big kick out of this statement). It was a first attempt at a fantasy genre and working with a cast/crew of 55 people (the only reason this is in his "statement" is to show he worked with 55 people).
Fourth, other websites recently have commented on the film pitch trailers like She-Hulk. The film was adapted from the 1st comic of She-Hulk, however, the film was intended to focus on transformations, but not to be made into a feature length film. She Hulk was a fan based trailer, just as Resident Evil. Yugioh, was also an adaptation of the animation that the Director wanted to bring to life. We worked on advanced SFX to enhance what we've experimented with before.
Fifth, the music videos from the beginning were experimental projects to help create new ideas, give templates for future local bands to choose from (where do we sign up?), and interruptations ??? of the original artists ideas.
Sixth, all productions and projects that are for sale are not illegal, they are "Works in Progess" (what is a work in "progess"??) and if producers or distributors want to buy the rights to them (Dad's still waiting on a call from the Celtics, I think he has a better chance), then we'll contract a musician to score them before the distribution. The music is strictly temp. track music (my use of this copyrighted material is "strictly temp. track"). All recent productions had clearance for all trademarks and product placements.
Seventh, a lot of hard work, dedication, and sweat was put into these projects (Sadly, I believe him). If you're not a film maker you don't have a clue what it takes to make even a 5 minute film (AWESOME) (the tears are beginning to flow into the mullet). These films can not be compared to Feature Length High Budget films, however, they have been made for simple entertainment for the (")fans(") of Wolf Productions (I'm one of the biggest!!).
Why can't I dream so big?

Birthday Suit
Happy 1st Birthday to Claire 2/18/2011
Happy 1st Birthday to Grace 7/31/2004
We were reminiscing after celebrating Claire's first birthday by looking at pictures of Grace's first birthday party when I took a closer look and realized... I'm wearing the same t-shirt at both parties. Seven years later and that sucker looks just as good on me as the day I bought it.

Utah Wolf Productions
Its been a while, but I found something that I think will provide you all with hours of entertainment. To be honest, I'm not even sure how I stumbled across this, bit I consider it a treasure that I must share with the family. Scroll to the bottom and watch the "film hightlights." You might start with "She Hulk" and go from there. I have watched many of them, and have not been disappointed yet.

Trivia Fun
Nathan and I were doing Disney trivia online the other night (yes, we have no life) and we came across this little gem:
Q: What was the theme song of the original 1930's Mickey Mouse Clubs?
A: Minnie's Yoo Hoo
I wonder why they changed it?

Beiber Fever
From: Peter J Shumway
How would you like to be this guy? This was in the Wall-Street Journal for the whole world to see, and I’m sure I’m not the first to email it. And yes … he’s making a heart with his hands.
BEIBER FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.J.
From: Sam Shumway
You know what? Beiber fever is real and it makes people do things...thing they would not otherwise do. Plus its highly contagious. We all probably have it just by looking at this picture.
From: nate shumway
So I was going to look up a picture of someone with a bad skin disease and equate it to the Beiber Fever, but looking through I almost barfed so I refrained from posting one.

From: Peter J Shumway
DON’T … DON’T EVER SAY THAT! I’m just hoping that the bratty looking girl to his left made him go to the concert and then screeched, “DADDY DO THE HEART”. For his sake, I’m hoping that’s what happened, it’s just one of those “family … isn’t it about time” commercials. And I do admit Beiber has a mesmerizing face.

Joe Shumway: American Freedom Fighter
Arising out of an apparent typographical error in a family email discussion, the question of who is "brining" the bread was raised. Dad had this wonderful insight into the topic:
Brining is a process similar to marinating in which food is soaked in brine before cooking. It is an old Jewish tradition to give salt and bread when someone moves into a new home as a housewarming gift. Salt is to season your life, the bread is so you will not go hungry, and together brined bread assures the host and guest of a rich and fulfilling visit.
I will brine the bread.
Skeptical of Dad's knowledge of Hebrew history, culture and customs, I responded with the following email:
Dad's responded to my skepticism as follows:
As I was reading this I was taken back o February of 1982. I remember sitting in the basement of the Eberhart house watching the Denver Nuggets play the Washington Bullets on our rectangular wooden console Zenith tv. As I sat there, Dad took the opportunity to explain to me how he played three seasons with the Boston Celtics, and that he would still be playing to that day had he not answered a call to go serve his country in Vietnam.
It wasn't until years later, after an exhaustive internet search, that I discovered that my dad had neither played in the NBA or served in Vietnam. I hope that the same isn't true for this Jewish brining story. I don't think I could handle the disappointment. I also hope that Daniel never starts researching the 1991 Junior National Flap-Jack Invitational held in Des Moines, Iowa to find out whether his dad was really first runner up...
Dad's responded to my skepticism as follows:
Sam,
Google: '1971 National Collegate Jello slurping records'. Unless Takeru Kobayashi recently became a two sport athlete, my record should still be posted in Portland, Oregon at Jello's National Headquarters.
Because the Celtics still owe me contract and bonus guarantees from 1970-72 they have removed my name from prior rosters because of legal and salary disputes. I entered Viet Nam in '72 as an undercover operative and a Green Beret, was captured by the Viet Cong when I stayed behind enemy lines to fight a battalion of commies so that my platoon could escape. I was a POW in Hanoi for three months, escaped back to the US through Laos and Cambodia, eventually being picked up in the Indian Ocean on a homemade bamboo raft by a naval destroyer. My military records are still classified and top secret until 2022, however I did receive an official US flag flown over Washington, DC. from Wyoming's Senator Craig Thomas office in 2000. Senator Thomas will confirm my war record but I've asked him to keep the military details confidential until they are released to the Washington Post in twelve more years.
I remain your truly, a humble American freedom fighter.
