Who are the Los Moustachios!? Well, an awesome DIY film and performance group, that’s who!
Los Moustachios are the reason I moved out to Portland and has underwent many incarnations. Chris, Dan, and I meet in college through theatre (yup, n3rds!!!). Taking our craft into our own hands, we started an improve/stage group: PAWS OFTUN, along with a bunch of our other theatre dork friends. With PAWS OFTUN, we wrote and performed three original II Act cabaret style shows and began making digital shorts. After Chris graduated, he moved to Portland. A year later, Dan and I moved out to continue working together with Chris. We then joined the film group Homeless Corner. HC later disbanded into many projects including: Coffee For Drew Productions, Mr. Average, Coree Spencer (doing solo work), and finally Los Moustachios.
Los Moustachios since have written and performed 3 more II Act stage shows pulling in multimedia elements, created more original films, ventured into the world of animation, and pioneered unique projection shows. Chris also began to work closely with Explode Into Colors, having co-created the piece Eyes Hand Mouth for TBA: 09 and performing music/projection/dance shows with them.
Recently, Los Moustachios have began hosting a monthly independent film showcase along with Portlandfilm.org and Suck My Productions called: Suck My Flick. A new stage act, Battlestar Moustachio is also in production. The trio has also expanded to a quartet by adding Dusty McCord of The Makeshift Contraption.
