Wow! The Bungalow Club premiere party was a resounding success, thanks to all of you who showed up to support the project! It was gratifying for all of us to finally screen what we've been working on in front of an audience. Seeing them transported back to the 70's with Matchstick McCoy and feeling the laughs rock the building made it an extraordinary night. But we're not resting on our laurels yet. Today, creator Benjamin Watts will be in studio with Hot Talk L.A.'s The Dina and Gregg Show, talking Matchstick jive - we'll post the link later. Incredibly, the journey has just begun for "Double M". Stay tuned as we embark on our rollercoaster ride. Pictures from the premiere can be viewed here!

Brief history

The mid December shoot went incredibly well - good times had by all! Settling down after the Holidays we hit post production hard. The rough edits are done, all music/brand new original theme by Daniel Chan almost complete, and the premiere on its way! Very special and heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew, you all brought this to life and made it so much fun in the process.

A silly dream and clever concept finally spurred into a web series! With the general story arc/formula written, Benjamin set out to see Matchstick done justice, to serve justice. With the able help of Ben Seton, Matchstick McCoy is fully realized into his own web series. Production starts this December.

Somewhere in the obscurity a theatre troupe, Matchstick is born. As a goof for 24 hour theater, hosted by the Insurgo Theater Movement in Las Vegas, Matchstick McCoy showed up, smoking, sleazing and silly whilst reminiscing on the 70's. As the night wore on, work had to be done, so McCoy was shaved away but not forgotten.
