Jen & Kev here,
Ashley Stinnett, Jen Ogrin, and Kevin Adkins at Books & Brews of Hurricane, WV in 2017.
What. A. Whirlwind. The past year for Over Easy Entertainment has been anything but boring. With our first season under our belt (the last episode featuring Bahnhof is on its way!), we could not be more thrilled with our progress. Initially, we began this venture because of our urge to contribute to our Appalachian region - we could not see it pushed to the way-side any longer. And, thankfully, we went with our gut on this one.
Currently, we have over 20k views average for the Over Easy Show, which speaks volumes for the hard work and hours our team has put in since we began filming the first episode at Books & Brews in July of 2017. As a team, we hit some bumps along the way, celebrated our triumphs, and learned from our mistakes. Like any form of art, film is a process.
We craved the rush of creating something from nothing, working with a creative team to meet seemingly unreachable goals/deadlines, and that transcendent feeling (filmmakers, you know what I'm talkin' about) behind the camera as you capture the moment that reminds you why you began filming in the first place.
The sweat, tears, trials, lack of sleep, and large quantities of caffeinated beverages-after all is said and done-were and will be TOTALLY worth it. The incredible people and authentic culture of our community fuels our desire further to continue doing what we love-MAKING FILMS!!!!
And you know what? We are just getting started.
