We finally have a home. Welcome to the Quigley Films experience. We are a small, fun-loving production company with ties in the Philadelphia and Buffalo areas. Feel free to look around, but don't touch. Just kidding, click on whatever you want. For your convenience-- YOUTUBE YOU THERE! CHECK OUT MY RESUME AVAILABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. NEWS 7/21/10 - Overhaul Well guys, as fun as it's been on google sites, we're about to move to a smashing new webpage that will blow your mind. Brace yourself now. We'll be launching in a few days. But in the meantime! SPECTRUM! Here it is! The short film that will start it all. Please enjoy, rate, like, whatever! Check out the reel too! There's a link at the top of the page. In the meantime, I've been working on a local feature film that keeps me really busy. And next month I'm on two more shorts up in Buffalo that should be fun times! At any rate, keep your ear to the ground. The new Quigley Films will be up and running soon. -Tom 6/3/10 - Mountains of Updates Well, it seems it's been a while! For good reason, I assure you. We've been caught up in punching out lots of awesome new videos for everyone. So without further ado, here's what we've got for you: This one was sort of made in association with the WFPF. A showcase of Mounir's awesome skills! (Also check out the blooper reel) This one is a promo for a semi-local b-girl by the name of SMiLeS! Check out these dance moves! This one's just documentation of Philly's latest parkour jam. Enjoy! This is definitely the king pigeon for this update. Another parkour video shot for Elet Hall down in MD. I think this one turned out super well. It won 2nd place at the (B)East Coast Film Festival! Spectrum Well, it's done! It's not uploaded anywhere just yet, but it will be soon. It was very successful at our Senior Show, and I look forward to seeing it become successful in the real world! This means INVESTORS! I'll get into that in a second. BAXLEY! Just another cool update on this jobby-- We've been accepted into the Action On Film International Film Festival!! This is a fairly large fest out in Pasadena, CA. So if you're around, you should totally see it. "So, Tom, what are you up to now?" you may ask. Well here's the answer, pantsface. MARKETING. With the completion of Spectrum, phase one of my plans to break into the biz is complete. Essentially, I would like to make Spectrum into a feature film. The script is under way, the vision is complete, and all I'm going to need is a whole lot of support and money. Investors. Investors! People who will make donations to the film, significant financial contributions for a cut of any profit made from the film. Soon enough I'll have a press kit built, and if you are interested in being an investor or contributing to the film in some way I would LOVE to talk to you. The idea is to use the short film to show what we're capable of! Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions! TPQuigley@QuigleyFilms.com Well gang, that's it for now! Have a few other little side projects in the works, but it's all kinda loose. Keep an eye out for updates, they should come frequently this summer. -Tom 3/13/10 - A taste.   Spectrum. -Tom 3/7/10 - I've been working on the... movie... ALLL the livelong day. So it's been a while. Far too long. But this is the busiest time in a film student's career! So I can't stay long. Your quick fix: Baxley is an official selection of the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival. You can see it Sunday, April 25th. Spectrum is a week away from shooting. Everything is falling into place, and it is glorious. QF has several more projects planned for the future, and a lot to look forward to. There's a drama on the way, a short and sweet parody, a lengthy and gripping parody, and a film in the making for years in the works. So stay frosty, and as soon as production for Spectrum wraps, you can expect more from me. Love love -Tom 1/14/10 - A New Wave is Rising With the new year, we begin rising on the back of a new piece as it crests into the legitimate film world. The Adventures of Captain Baxley is now an official selection of the International Youth Film Festival!  Just a week after sending out the film to 9 different festivals, we are already starting to get positive results! As of the moment, we are in consideration at four other film festivals. This is a very exciting time, for now we are moving beyond the borders of our school and of anime conventions. We're stepping into the world of serious recognition! Woo! So our thanks go out to http://www.amritsa.com/ for accepting us, and we hope to do well with our screening! With any luck, I'll be able to make it over to the UK to see it happen. We'll keep you updated as we hear back from more of the festivals, though the dates are quite scattered. So stay frosty, and keep an eye out! We just might be coming to a theater near you. -Tom 12/5/09 - End & ReVamp Well this update is long overdue. Where to begin? Anime USA was a lot of fun. Technical issues aside, we had some pretty awesome people come to our panels, and it certainly seems like everyone who showed up had a good time. So thanks to anyone who stopped by! Awards! We got some! The Untitled Film Festival Project hosted by Drexel University was an excellent show, and at it we got our first official recognition! In the Independent category, our short film Mozzarella's Edge took the gold! And in the Production Workshop category, our lengthier piece The Adventures of Captain Baxley was awarded the best piece! Thank you Drexel, we will never forget this...! Other than that, we have had some other rather exciting publicity lately! We were featured on Destructoid for Assassin's Creed, which was awesome. And then to make things even more epic, we were interviewed and featured on the Assassin's Creed II Website itself! Talk about a day in the sun! Special thanks again to Kyle at www.gamingunion.net for the extra help and boost in notoriety! So what happens from here? The convention tour is over, academia is drawing to a close, and the future is a little hazy. HOWEVER! No matter how unclear things may be, we will pierce through the fog head first and take on the new day with everything we've got! Having said all that, we do have some plans up our sleeves for the coming months. Some more solid than others. Here's what you can expect from us in the days to come. Fan Films. There will always be fan films of one kind or another. At this point we have a lot of ideas, it just comes down to what we make and what we put off until later. In the mix is a possible Alfred Leebop sequel, a Phoenix Wright flick, a Silent Hill original, Resident Evil 2 spinoff, and a Legend of Zelda sort of thingie. Also, Elite Beat Agents. As you can see, plenty of ideas. Not enough time. But you can expect to see these trickling through here and there. Spectrum. This is sort of the dream, the potential magnum opus. A story I've been working on for some time that I one day hope to turn into a feature. In the meantime, I expect to make a short piece similar in nature to test the waters, as it were. Travel Documentary. Specifically, one about some crazy guys riding their bicycles from New York to LA. And myself accompanying them on a scooter. This one is already in the works, and it's going to happen. In fact, if you like this blog stuff, you can check out our production blog here. As always, there is a lot going on. And a lot to come. There will be some changes, hopefully all for the better. We look forward to floating your boats very soon. -Tom 11/18/09 - ...InAmerica We'll start with the bad news. Turns out we didn't take the prize, or any prize for Assassin's Creed. Still, we've walked away with publicity we never would have had otherwise, so I have nothing to complain about! Good show guys, you can check out the winners here. ONTO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS: Anime USA!  This is going to be the most epic conventions of them all, as far as our content is concerned. This time, it's more than just Leebop. It's a full Quigley Films Panel. Twice. So if you're anywhere near Arlington VA, you should TOTALLY stop by! Friday night 8:00, Saturday 4:00! We've got tons of goodies for everyone. Unseen footage. Prizes. Candy. And a whole lot of comedy for the whole family. And sadly enough, this will mark the end of our convention tour. We had a good run, and we look forward to finishing with a BANG. So fasten your seat belts, Arlington. Here we come. -Tom 11/12/09 - We're on the internet! Check this out, folks! Thanks to Kyle over at www.gamingunion.net ! Contest results tomorrow! Woo! -Tom 10/31/09 - COMPLETION! Assassin's Creed is done! Watch it here!! Hopefully it will also be on IFC as well soon, so updates to follow. Winners of the contest are announced on Nov 13th. CAPTAIN BAXLEY IS DONE. It will be premiering at the Untitled Drexel Film Festival on November 15th! Pretty soon we'll be sending it out everywhere for more festivals, so keep your eyes peeled and we'll keep you updated! And on the new front, we have a large scale promotional piece in the works that will go towards a feature a plan to make. Also, it is rather likely that we will have a Phoenix Wright film in the works very soon. I'm obsessed. 9/28/09 - Assassin's Creed That's correct. We will be making an Assassin's Creed short film. Ubisoft and IFC are hosting the second Assassin's Creed short film competition, and we are throwing ourselves in the running. We're going at it full-force, so expect a top-quality production! The deadline is November 1st, so you'd better prepare yourselves. -Tom 9/27/09 - Delicious Success comes in many flavors: Victory, Triumph, Blueberry, and THE RADIO. As it turns out, attending our panel over the weekend were some members of the press! A couple of the guys (and gal) from nonproductive sat in on our show and recorded it! And the word on the street is, it may be popping up in one of their broadcasts. So we would like to take this moment to encourage all of you to listen to their lovely radio show Monday night from 8-9 pm! If you're not from the area (which is more than likely) you can listen to it ON THE WEB! (Ta-da!!! Internet!) Seriously though, it was a success, the audience seemed to like it, and again we got some good suggestions for the future. So look out future, you're about to get remodeled. Because Quigley Films makes its own future. And speaking of the future... you can all prepare yourselves for an Assassin's Creed short by November. That is all. -Tom 9/21/09 - New York, NEW YORK! Hey folks! You should go to New York City this weekend! And check out  Why? Cause we're gonna be there, of course! Alfred Leebop is playing Friday Night 9-10! Be there! Or be deceased. -Tom 8/19/09 - The Sound of Music John Avarese is to compose the score for Captain Baxley. He is an enormously talented man, and we cannot wait to see what he cooks up! -Tom 8/18/09 - The Adventures... Exciting news! Captain Baxley is picture locked! So it's onto sound and music now, and with any luck the film will have an initial cut done in 2-3 weeks. It's about time. Soexcited. -Tom 7/28/09 - Opportunity knocks Cutting to chase. We have a new short in the works we'll be shooting soon. I hope you all like Mirror's Edge. And on a similar but totally unrelated note-- Looks like there will also be some involvement with the World Freerunning and Parkour Federation. in my future. Hopefully I will be able to get some intern work helping these guys out with some of their videos. Details to come! CONNECTICON THIS WEEKEND! CHECK IT OUT!  They have an awesome setup going, and even though we won't be there it's getting it's own time slot! And as if you guys didn't get blasted with enough con promotion here... This is going to be a revolutionary con for us. Not only are we being given a panel for Leebop... We are getting a panel just for ourselves as filmmakers. Quigley Films gets its own panel this November in Arlington, VA. Plus... Steve Blum is going to be there. And it is my secret dream that he will see the movie and love us. Expect more details on that sweetness later. In the meantime, you guys stay beautiful. -Tom |
