Top 10 Countdown for ‘My Vacation In LA’ Hosted by Ash Nicole and Charlie Harris

June 20, 2016 by TrippyTranFilms

Watch the countdown video below!

SoCal just got sunnier with the new docu mini-series My Vacation In LA which premiered this past February. Now Californians Ash Nicole and Charlie Harris are counting down the candid, the monumental, the hilarious, the zany, the uniquely beautiful and interesting travel moments plus, our special guest hosts show us plenty of fun surprises sprinkled all across this journey ever so sweetly- and it debuts here at Trippy Tran Films. (Watch it below!)

The dramedy of a trio traveling was a quiet smash amongst Cincinnati residents with the film My Vacation In Cincinnati when it premiered in the 48 Hour Film Festival 2012 starring the late Chris Corman. The short, being mostly an improv film with 5 locations in 2 days, was based on a screenplay by Shane Stephens (who played the outrageous magician, Tom Rococo.) The film received a director’s cut after the competition and promoted local bands and artists.

Throughout the process of completing our debut feature film, the psych thriller Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown, writer/director Anthony ‘Rory’ Tran (who now lives in L.A.) was editing bonus features for MVIC (My Vacation In Cincinnati) when Alicia became his first Ohio visitor on the west coast. They made a joke about filming their adventure traveling all over LA (and the OC too with Knott’s Berry Farm) making a new series out of it to share with the world.

TTF Star and Actor Chris Corman Passes Away at Age 31

August 13, 2015 by TrippyTranFilms

We hate to be the one to bring the news that actor Chris Corman unfortunately passed away last week. Director Anthony Tran received the news from Corman’s friend and co-star Amanda Eichelberger from My Vacation In Cincinnati the morning of this devastating loss.

Tran was working to complete The Official Trippy Tran Films Shorts Collection 2008-2015 when he heard the news that OBLIQUITY and My Vacation In Cincinnati star Chris Corman passed away Thursday of last week.

See the first psychological thought-provoking Obliquity clip starring Chris Corman below:

Chris Corman (Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown) reveals playing a different role and making ‘My Vacation In Cincinnati’ on special edition DVD.

We hope to commemorate him through the collection which includes interviews, bloopers and more.

Click to watch Chris Corman reliving My Vacation In Cincinnati as he shows co-star actress Kelby Tienken the film in this exclusive behind the scenes look. We look to the stars and feel sorrow for losing such a wonderful actor so young so soon.

We want to send our condolences and our prayers to Christopher Corman’s family, friends and co-stars who worked closely with Chris and knew what an uplifting, kind spirit he was with strong qualities including dedication, passion, persistence and loyalty.

He always made us laugh on set of both Trippy Tran Films movies (Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown being the big one which is planned for finalizations soon) and was one of the most dedicated persons Tran has worked with to-date.

Follow us at facebook.com/obliquitymovie

Chris Corman stars as Chaz Seraphim Hunter in Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown, an archangel personified “hunter” of answers and truth in a chaotic world.

Chris Corman was without a doubt the band No Doubt’s biggest fan and even moreso of Gwen Stefani. His dream came true when she called him on stage and he got to do a dance with her in front of thousands of people including taking a selfie together. The video can be seen below.

We are trying to reach out to Gwen’s publicist and managers about the loss of Mr. Corman and see if she’d be up to seeing his starring debut feature film role in Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown. If anyone knows how we can get a hold of her, please, let us know or email us at TrippyTranFilms@gmail.com

With great sorrow, we hope the best for all the lives he’s touched so he can be remembered. We know his memory will shine on through his work.

R.I.P. Chris Corman
You were a beautiful friend and a unique and charismatic actor who always shined.

6.15.1984-8.6.2015

Friends of Chris wanted Tran to know what he said to them about him and his work via facebook.

Aaron E. wrote:
“Thank you for everything you did for him Anthony. Chris cherished you a lot. He told me you were one of his best friends of all time.”

Melissa S. wrote:
“Also know that Chris spoke very highly of you and enjoyed working with you immensely.”

Anthony Tran wrote:

It’s heartbreaking to hear that the joy and enthusiasm and dedication of Christopher Corman will no longer light up the room. I was his director on several projects including our feature film debut Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown which is still seeking postproduction help. We did get to premier it at the end of 2013 and he did get to see his big screen debut in the theater so I’m happy he got to have yet another shining moment. He also starred in our 48 Hour Film project My Vacation In Cincinnati and always made people laugh.

To all his friends and family, I have tons of footage with Mr. Corman, a lot hasn’t been released yet. If anybody needs anything for his funeral, please let me know. I reside in Long Beach, CA where Chris and I talked about moving near there.. well Anaheim. Sadly, it never happened. We will honor and remember this unique soul and I hope when we release the feature film that we can remember him in a beautiful way for his passion and hard work as well as being such a fun guy to be around. Fly in the sky friend. You left too soon.

R.I.P Christopher Corman
You made us laugh and think like no other.

Austin Byrd So sad to hear. It was a pleasure working with him, and he definitely brought a different element to the table when performing, and just interacting with people in general. Rest in paradise, good sir.

Videos of Chris Corman can be found all over YouTube.com/TrippyTranFilms including bloopers, behind the scenes, his character promos for his role as Chaz and more.

Read his obituary here and more info here. Fly in the sky and may you find inner peace, Mr. Corman.

We also want to say that if anyone you know needs any mental, drug-related or health help in any way, to go and seek it. You are not alone. Don’t ever assume that a little isn’t ever too much.

Word On The Street: New ‘Obliquity’ Clip Premiers Next Week

May 21, 2015 by TrippyTranFilms

There are 5 Fridays in May with 5 videos being released by Trippy Tran Films on every one of those days. Word has it, the full-length psychological thriller from director/writer Anthony Tran is seeing the day of light soon after finalizing all the ‘My Vacation In Cincinnati’ bonus features. With 2 more Fridays left, there are 2 special features for ‘MVIC’ to premier. One releases tomorrow (Friday) and the following week, a new clip for ‘Obliquity’ will premier featuring My Vacation in Cincinnati star, Chris Corman in a more serious and darker role.

New ‘Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown’ clip premiers next Friday, 5.29.15 featuring Chris Corman.

First, let’s look back at My Vacation In Cincinnati for recently releasing so many videos in the last month. We’ve received the 18 minute interview special – which was full of great visuals and really told the story of making a 48 Hour Film Project in Ohio. (See The Interview here – http://youtu.be/s8gG-4lJduY) Then, on May 1st, the official trailer debuted with promises of a DVD release soon. On May 8th, we got the reamped Director’s Cut of the film – which is only available to watch until the end of May this year for free as we plan releases to sell the film online and on DVD. And last week, on May 15th, we finally got to see the funnies on set with the Outtakes + Deleted Scenes reel.

Only two bonus features remain (all of which will be on the upcoming DVD: Wreckfest – Official Trippy Tran Films Short Collection 2008-2015) and it’s either the behind-the-scenes featurette or the photo slideshow and we can’t wait to show you the newly released work! The remaining bonus will premier sometime in June. *See all the bonus features links below!*

My, oh, my did we get a lot of new releases, but the most riveting is that Obliquity is resurfacing after a small hiatus since the director’s cut theater debut in December 2013 at the Western Hills Danbarry Cinemas in Ohio. What makes it even more exciting is that we get to see actor Chris Corman play someone completely different from his spontaneous, charismatic loveable boyfriend role who won tickets to his girlfriend’s favorite band in My Vacation... What will his story be in Obliquity: Imagery of the Unknown ?

We premier the exclusive new clip next Friday here at TrippyTranFilms.com and on our YouTube.com/TrippyTranFilms and Facebook.com/TrippyTranFilms pages. Check out our @TrippyTranFilms on Twitter and Instagram for more also. #obliquityiscoming #myvacationcincinnati #obliquitymovie #newclip #indiefilms #TrippyTranFilms
