Dudez! ✨ DAY 101 || Peep this snapshot from one of our most elaborate CRYSTAL BALL! shoots (can’t spoil the details; don’t want to ruin the surprise). Dr. Clean veteran Aaron Billingsley whoops it up with comedian Daegen Asfaha and collaborator Nino Mascorella on an unforgettable night of filming at one of CRYSTAL BALL’s most incredible and mind-blowing Aurora Avenue locations. 💫

Stay tuned for more BTS and announcements! 🔥

Gratitude to Hilary McGowan for this Polaroid. 💖

CASTING ALERT! 🎬 Dr. Clean Productions favorite and star of Fantasy A Gets a Mattress — the legend himself, Fantasy A 💥 — is returning to the big screen in his first non-autobiographical role! For CRYSTAL BALL! 🔮 Fantasy A will be portraying ERNIE, the acerbic, world-weary, and dream-filled building superintendent 🧰🏙️. Grounding the surreal proceedings around him, Ernie takes his dark world at face value, but that doesn’t stop him from having a bizarre and dreamy inner life 🌙📖. During his breaks from fixing pipes and tending to the apartment building, Ernie is writing an off-the-wall novel. If there’s anything Ernie wants, it’s order in a crazy world… ⚙️✨

Throwback to Day 56 of filming for CRYSTAL BALL! — a day marked by reunions and friendship 💖

We’ve been pretty underground on social media the last few months 🌒 but only because we’ve been filming nonstop on CRYSTAL BALL! 💎 We’ve filmed over 100 days — something usually reserved for multimillion-dollar productions 💰🎥

Concentrated energy! Our quick shoot outside the Deja Vu strip club last night for CRYSTAL BALL! was a blast! Reports were that there was not a single girl on stage last night—the real excitement was happening out front as nine ecstatic actors whooped, jumped, and plowed into one another for part of CRYSTAL BALL!’s ever-expanding, frenetic intro sequence—sure to be one of the most grabbing and wild openings to a film in a looooooong time! Huge shout out to our performers, who shot out pure energy!

Three continents have now embraced Fantasy A Gets a Mattress! Four more to go!

We’re thrilled beyond belief to be having our AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE at the Central Coast Film Festival on Friday, November 7th at 6:15pm at the Cinema Paradiso (in Cinema 4)!

Fantasy A Gets a Mattress is a film with universal appeal — even the wombats will be in attendance.

The world keeps asking for Fantasy A Gets a Mattress! First the UK, then Amsterdam, and now Australia! Fantasy A's story is being seen all over Planet Earth—this time at the Central Coast Film Festival in New South Wales, Australia!

Fantasy A Gets a Mattress has Seattle roots, but it is not just a Seattle film; this is a film for the whole world. Anywhere artists struggle to catch a break, earn some respect, or just find a place to sleep—Fantasy A Gets a Mattress drills a hole straight into their heart.

Press Alert! The Stranger wrote an extensive feature on legend Fantasy A and his new on-screen vehicle, CRYSTAL BALL! (currently in production). Learn about how Dr. Clean Productions met the superstar, what is happening with production on their new feature film, and what is in store for the future!

A NEW PULSE of cinematic blood is rushing to New Paltz, NY! Fantasy A Gets a Mattress is headed back east for three screenings at the Denizen Theatre!

Fantasy A: “New Paltz is very close to Sleepy Hollow, y’all! It’s a place full of ghosts—and ghosts don’t take up movie theater seats —so tell your friends to get to the Denizen Theatre Nov 19th, 21st and 22nd to make sure we have three full showings of Fantasy A Gets a Mattress!”

The inimitable Tiny Vipers has joined the cast of CRYSTAL BALL!. Known for her stark, emotionally raw songwriting and otherworldly presence, Tiny Vipers brings her singular voice to the role of Urthona, the film’s most tragic figure—a solitary dog walker and former cult member struggling to rebuild her life, only to discover her new apartment building houses her ex–cult leader.

A maximalist, expressionistic epic, CRYSTAL BALL! will be punctuated by Tiny Vipers’ harrowing performance, which has already drawn comparisons to Renée Jeanne Falconetti in The Passion of Joan of Arc. This is a casting that feels less like a choice and more like a cosmic commandment.
