Canna-Committed

"Steve has an uncanny ability to "be" the audience without sacrificing the essence of what the filmmaker is trying to express. It is a comforting feeling knowing that, as hard as you worked to make the film, he is in there with you working with equal ardor to see that it has a long life. For me, that meant developing a highly creative video ad campaign that captured the attitude of my film and presenting it as an experience to share with friends. He organized and supervised the entire campaign and delivered on time, on budget. His work speaks for itself. In fact, it's so good, it could be its own entertainment ecosystem outside the film it was created to promote. As satisfied as I was with the work Steve did, what stands out to me the most, is the way he would call and/or text with new ideas and thoughts about strategy as though we were in a constantly evolving landscape and playing with a living thing. Which, in fact, we were. The most important element a filmmaker requires when it comes to selling their picture is a partner vested in its success like Steve is. I can't recommend him enough." – Clif Lord | Writer-Director | "Doobious Sources"

"Hit that"

Game Show challenges 'partiers' ability to party and perform. Based on correct answers to categorical questions (Or victories in physical challenges), teams gain points to win canna-related prizes. With each victory, teams can hit the bowl themselves, or pass it to otheir opponents. Each toke is accompanied by the studio crowd chant “Hit that!” (Teams can choose to hit that themselves to loosen up, or pass the bowl and take their opponents down by getting them so high they’ll be too stupid to take on future challenges correctly.) As the game progresses, Contestants become more comical and the "Hit that" mantra becomes more playfully ingrained. Game Q & A and challenges TBD.
