She’s our friend and this girl sings her heart out. We love her, so should you.

We wanted to give some shout-outs to the great people who worked on Intercourse With A Vampire, so here’s some info about the cast and crew.

Jacob Fleisher, creator and co-star, Jacob Fleisher has written for MTV, Comedy Central, TLC, A&E, Paramount, Fox and the Weinstein Company. Currently, he is co-writing a feature for Warner Brother studios. Also currently, he’s still wearing his fangs. Jacob lives in LA, but grew up in New York City, so he constantly complains about LA. He is wanted in 37 countries for crimes against hilarity.

Kristen Carney, co-star, is an actor, comedian and host who has appeared from Los Angeles to Europe on some of the most famous stages in the world. She started her stage career at 13 as a dancer for Show Stopper Productions. As a member of the touring company, she performed at Disney World, Euro Disney and Universal Studios.

Jenessa Joffee, director, has directed over 20 short films and web videos – mostly comedies. “The Legend of Shizuko Nishimura,” “Shank,” and “American Obon,” have enjoyed film festival runs. “Twilight: 5 Years Later” won the Atom.com Showdown. Jenessa trained in film directing at the American Film Institute. She currently resides in Los Angeles.

Carl Hampe, producer, During his time as an executive at Warner Independent Pictures, Carl Hamper worked on countless feature films, including “In The Valley of Elah,” and “Slumdog Millionaire.” Though Carl is way too big-time to produce a web-series like this, he is also Jake’s downstairs neighbor and Jake refused to put down carpeting until Carl agreed to get on board.

Jack Ferry, cinematographer, is a director, cinematographer, editor, writer, and producer. Most of his projects are for the internet, which means he is extremely wealthy. He hopes to one day learn HTML so he can update www.jackferry.com.

Kit Pennebaker, cinematographer, was born with a love of cinema. A New York City native, Kit has been working professionally in film since he was a teenager. In 2004 Kit graduated from New York University’s prestigious Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at The Tisch School of the Arts.

Her work ranges through many medias, beauty for pin-ups and television, cut-off limbs for shows like Threshold and Dexter, Demons for Tenacious D, apocalyptic tour costumes for Skinny Puppy, and she made our werewolves. maiawagle@mac.com

In an effort to shirk my workload I’ve decided to roll out a new blog series that revolves around member uploads. That’s right, now my leisurely Friday afternoons perusing the internet is actually work. I’ll be publishing the best of videos I find here, every Friday.

That ‘lil ditty was brought

Jason Brannon and Thomas Lee, the creative minds behind Bent Tv and the Star Wars Gangsta Rap videos were kind enough to answer a few questions about rapping, inspiration and all things Star Wars. Take a peek at what it takes to make Star Wars Fan Film history.

Tell us what originally inspired you to make Star Wars Gangsta Rap?

Our kick ass closing Credits song is called “When I’m With You”
By Spider Problem

Our super-emo-goth Twilight music in Episode #2 and Episode #3 is a song called…

“Decline of the West” (How vampire is that?)

You saw the preview at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 (that’s kind of a marketing phrasing, statistically I have to admit that you possibly did not see the preview at San Diego Comic-Con 2009), and now it’s finally (almost) here. The next edition of Star Wars Gangsta Rap is almost here. Next Tuesday, November 10th, the newest video from the amazing guys at Bent TV will be live right here at Atom.com. I just caught the whole thing, and I have to tell you, that shit is amazing. Look for amazing verses from pretty much all the luminaries from the Star Wars universe.

To whet your appetite, here’s the preview you saw (or maybe didn’t) at Comic-Con.

So don’t forget, next Tuesday, November 10th!


Also, catch up with the original Star Wars Gangsta Rap and Star Wars Gangsta Rap: Special Edition.

You guys are Mad Men fans, right? Sure, it’s kind of boring, and better heads then I can break down what actually happens each season, I just know that it’s crazy slow, kind of boring, and the furniture they use is really expensive now. Also, everyone smokes all the time and boy, everyone was really unhappy in the 60s!

Anyway, love it or hate it, the Mad Men style is unmistakable, and it’s given rise to some great parodies. In honor of the finale of Season 3, here are some of our favorites.

The guys from Front Page Films (and the Verizon ads that have been running on the site, coincidentally) have  a new series coming out hella soon. It’s called Hotel and we’ve built a snazzy video-wall to facilitate your perusal of the series. It launches tomorrow, but in the meantime enjoy this Walleye Picture and Sounds classic featuring Hotel star Pete Holmes : The Laundry Room after the jump.

So the more attentive of you may have noticed that Atom is finally hooked up to Facebook Connect, the technology that lets you log in to sites using your Facebook account, and share stuff from those sites on your Facebook profile. This post, unfortunately, is not really for you, because if you’re attentive enough to notice that, then you’ve probably already set up your Atom profile.

This one’s for everyone else.

With Facebook Connect, you can use your Facebook profile to log in to Atom, to leave ratings for all of our videos, games and blog posts, and to comment anywhere we let you. That’s right, if you’re too lazy to create an Atom account, but you still have some kind of wise-ass comment or want to give something a thumbs down, just look for the Facebook logo, click it, and follow a couple short instructions, and hate away.

So, to sum up, you find yourself on a video at Atom:

1. You want to rate or comment.
2. You don’t have an Atom profile.
3. Just click on the Facebook Connect icons where you see them, follow the instructions and you’ll be logged in to Atom.
or
4. Hate away, jerks. Or not. I just know you’re too savvy to fall for flattery.

And don’t worry, this won’t post anything to your Facebook feed that you don’t want it to and it won’t spam your friends. We just want to make it as easy as possible for you guys to interact with each other, with the video and game creators, and with us. Oh, and we’re wildly entertained when you guys talk smack, as well.

Ok. So it’s last thing in the office on the night before Halloween (or Devil’s Night, as I was regrettably raised to believe) and just as I’m about to close up shop for the weekend here at Atom, I get word that Larry The Vampire and his girlfriend Tracy (stars of the very hilarious Intercourse With A Vampire) made an awesome video blog to wish everyone a happy halloween.
