Boston Johnny (2023)
Matt Farley is Boston Johnny, a regional salesman for the greater Boston area. Once popular on television, the times are changing, and there are greater market forces and fiercer competition like Toronto's Own Will Sloan. Boston Johnny premiered during this year's Motern Extravaganza, which hosted two new film screenings and five hours of concerts! Several of our The Twin Geeks friends were in attendance and we get the full report from our own area salesmen.

Magic Spot (2022)
We catch up with the latest Motern Masterpiece, the must-see Magic Spot, ahead of this weekend's Motern Extravaganza, featuring two brand new films for the coming year and an extensive concert to boot. This is that special kind of science fiction film, light on conflict, high on wordplay, and exuding home-spun charm in the way only Motern movies can. Magic Spot is one of our best unsung contemporary movies and we are here to sing its praises.

Local Legends (2013)
We're proud to present Local Legends, Matt Farley's meta-textual film about the process of creation and how it is being the author of 20,000 songs and the world's greatest string of backyard movies. This film is a proper The Twin Geeks classic, taking the regionally-focused Motern Method of filmmaking and matching it to self-aware, brilliant shoestring budget acting and an unrefined style of shooting that clearly echoes the ethos and ethics of how this talented group make films.
