On set there were jokes from our cast of first time actors about newfound fame and red carpets, all met with hearty laughter and teasing. But beneath the humor, there was an undeniable sense that we were onto something special. For this crazy experiment to be heading to the Academy Awards is truly a dream come true.
So much love for this group of guys. Watch us give our cast the good news. 🍻🫂❤️🩹
A year and a half later we reconvened where it all began: at the La Habra Moose Lodge, which graciously opened its doors at 4:30 this morning…
I wanna dedicate this moment to the hundreds of friends who trusted and poured into a vision that was frankly very unlikely to succeed. We challenged ourselves to pack 18 minutes with humor, heart, and humanity; to give an oddball cast of brilliant first-timers the sort of spotlight they deserved but never had before. And to make something risky, unconventional, and handmade in the age of automation. The Singers is about a lot of things, but at its core it’s a testament to the power of art and vulnerability to create compassion and community. I hope that the exposure that comes with this incredible honor will help that message reverberate well beyond the walls of the Moose.
CHEERS to The Academy.
"...The Best Screening of The Singers in a coffee shop."
@samdavis (director of @thesingersfilm) later shot Callback, directed by @matthewpuccini and produced by @kattmazman
He shot The Singers months before he read the Callback script, and noticed they were circling the same ideas. He once imagined them being programmed together.
Now they are. In a coffee shop.
The Singers. Playing at Coffeehouse Cinema on April 23rd. Tickets go on sale April 13th.
An Oscar just went to a short film about connection, memory, and what we carry with us.
This is the kind of story that hits different when you're in a room full of people. The kind that lingers.

See you at the coffeehouse.

Los Llanteros 503, un grupo de salvadoreños, comenzaron subiendo videos en redes sociales desde su taller… sin imaginar lo que vendría.
En cuestión de semanas, uno de sus videos se hizo viral y acumuló millones de vistas. Ese momento cambió todo. Un director los descubrió y los invitó a participar en el cortometraje The Singers, que terminó ganando el Premio Oscar.
