Our Group Project is a website started by Grant Carr to showcase the work of our very talented group. We are mostly based out of Houston but have agents worldwide. Some people can write music or sing, some are talented photographers, videographers, or artists. We come together for one common goal to help each other succeed and be awesome! The point of this website is to illustrate that it takes a team of individuals to create awesomeness. Look for this site to grow and change over time. We hope to have regular content updates. So check back for original music videos, skits, our semi weekly podcasts, interviews, and artwork. Its an open ended concept so who knows what we might put up. Were not looking for mass fame or fortune we just like having fun. So join us as we put ourselves out there for the world.

UPDATED APRIL 13, 2010

First update of the year. Check out two new videos just posted. A fashion show and some more dead bodies set to music. What’s the difference you say!? Well thats a disturbing thing to say first of all and second...just watch and see and then email me your results. The podcast is currently still on a hiatus until further notice. I may need to bring out my motivation stick. Also 48 Hour film is coming up soon. If you are interested in being on my team then email me grantcarr@gmail.com More details on that later.

UPDATE OCTOBER 14, 2009

People did show up for THX 1138 last night despite the menacing rain which we were able to keep at bay with our combined powers of positive thinking. The cooler weather is great for watching a movie outside. Nothing else new besides the Blood Simple & Third Man podcast being posted. Our shows are coming out to about an hour now so I think were ready to try and get this thing on the radio. We will keep you posted on that. John tells me he has 2 episodes in the can that should be up later this week for the OurGroupProject podcast. He also wrote some short scripts we will be shooting soon. Im excited about getting some new video stuff posted so stay tuned for that.

UPDATE OCTOBER 07, 2009

Just finished the recording for the film noir episode look for that later this week. But more importantly I have recently beaten my high score in Tetris.  I just finished editing a documentary which may get posted here and Stephen and I just shot our 4th episode of Sugarhill Sessions. The latest one with the Heartless Bastards. As soon as one gets edited we will post it here. It feels good being productive. Join us for movie night on the 13th of October @ 8pm details HERE.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 15, 2009

Despite not having any updates in a while we have been busy. Our movie nights have been great successes. We had a great turnout for Day For Night and I hope everyone enjoyed the cupcakes that Mandy and I made for everyone. And we were nervous but Baby Jane had a packed house (Cant wait for THX 1138). Thank you to everyone who came out. We are getting more subscribers to the podcast everyday so hello to our new friends of the site. Leave some comments tell us how you feel. Adam should have the new podcast up by this weekend so check back.

UPDATE JULY 31, 2009

Lots of good updates today! The big news is that we finally have our movie night at Domy. Our first screening will be Truffaut's Day For Night.  It also just so happens to be Adam's birthday so come out and celebrate while watching an excellent film. We have just posted a new episode for Film Forum focusing on Errol Morris. Also dont neglect our red headed step children on the OurGroupProject Podcast they have just posted a two part episode offering dating advice from the most reliable sources since Deep Throat. The movie not the Watergate whistle blower.

UPDATE JULY 9, 2009

You may need to re-subscribe which you can do by clicking on the embedded player on the front page or by checking out our PodBean Page. Erika is also added to the Links section so give her a visit.

UPDATE JULY 7, 2009

I would first like to point out our new tab on our navigation bar “Links”. This is not a tribute site for sausages but that is a good idea. This is a tab where we show some love for our great friends who do awesome things with their time. We now are featuring some great artists. Claire Webb who makes jewelry and Robyn O’Neil who you know, she draws some very meticulous graphite drawings that are huge, What patience. Very cool stuff so give em a look unless your boring uncultured swine who never colored outside the lines.

Also OurGroupProject Podcast keeps us in the loop and discusses masturbation and honors the fallen in their own special way with two new episodes.

UPDATE June 29, 2009

Well we didn’t win any more awards but still had a blast enjoying the crowd laughing at our movie. Couple of updates of note. Check out the new Miscellaneous section for a Robyn O’Neil original created just for me. Plus I finally got a good export of Playing Games so watch it its only a minute you will thank me later.

UPDATE June 27, 2009

Just a few things to add Film Forum is now labeled as Film Forum Podcast. Some people were getting confused and accidently listening to the OurGroupProject Podcast, which is unacceptable and should never be done. Speaking of that, John has finally uploaded two new episodes. So you can stop sending him angry emails here. Thats a grand total of three new episodes to enjoy. Film Forum covers The Hangover and Very Bad Things, And OurGroupProject Podcast covers everything else. Tomorrow is the Best Of Houston screening for the 48 Hour Film Project so wish us luck. We will post here if we win any awards. And I hope everyone is watching La Dent Noire on youtube once a day like your supposed to. Also behold the power of Tetris. High scores listed here.

UPDATE June 16, 2009

Oh man so much to update. First check out our new feature film! La Dent Noire, our award winning short done for the 48 Hour Film Project. We worked really hard on it and it was truly a group project. Everyone who helped out hit a home run. Thank you Joey for writing three incredibly catchy tunes in less than three hours. Allie was super producer once again. John, Jason, Braeden knocked out a great script to work with. Stephen and Adam put in the long hours editing on Sunday. Josh the audio engineer you rock. And of course Jason, Sean and Stein I couldn’t have asked for more from my actors. You guys nailed the parts and sold the movie. And everyone else we couldn’t have done it with out your help. And special thanks to all the beautiful ladies who showed up to make our bar scene the most happening place in town. Please check the credits to give everyone their due props. This was so much fun and it is only the beginning. What’s everyone doing next month? Lets make another movie!
