\"\"Some would say that since its very inception in 1988, Other World Computing has been a star. And in a way, it\u2019s true\u2014we\u2019ve always striven to provide \u201cout of this world\u201d products, services, and customer experiences. But in this case, we\u2019re looking at achieving a different kind of stardom. Yes, we\u2019re talking about celebrity. The \u201cA\u201d List, if you will. The elite, the red-carpet-walking, Botox-injecting, crash-diet following, only-green M&M-eating set that star in your favorite films. And now OWC is set to join the ranks of these stars and is about to embark upon its big break.<\/p>\n

OWC is proud to announce that we will be sponsoring an upcoming independent film called \u201cIntramural\u201d by providing our Mercury Elite Pro<\/a> drives to store the massive amounts of data needed to create a film. Everyone knows a good film needs a strong lead\u2014okay, in this case that lead will be Jake Lacy<\/a> (of The Office<\/i> fame)\u2014but they also need strong data support. And that is where OWC comes in to save the day.<\/p>\n

Director\/editor of Doritos \u201cMake Your Own\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and \u201cDo Anything Stoned\u201d<\/a>\u00a0series, Dave Ward, along with pro DIT, Kyle Osburn, note that \u201cOWC drives\u00a0are reliable workhorses that can withstand the long hours and rigors of film production. They have every input you would ever need and customer support\u00a0you can actually reach when needed. OWC is one of the industry standards for data storage solutions.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Several
Several OWC drives being used for the video editing process.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But that\u2019s not all the exciting news! According to the Intramural<\/i> blog<\/a>, our OWC drives looked so good they couldn\u2019t resist putting them in the film. Of course, we graciously accepted the role. We only had one requirement\u2014make sure to catch us from our good side (just kidding, everybody knows OWC products don\u2019t have a bad side). But in all seriousness, we are very excited to be in the film (just make sure to tell the makeup artists to use extra powder\u2026the bright filming lights make our silver look extra shiny).<\/p>\n

\"Alright
Alright Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Intramural<\/i> is currently being filmed in Austin, and comically tells the story of a group of fifth year seniors who form an intramural football team before they are forced to deal with the pressures of real life. In a way, OWC has been method acting and preparing for this role for years. Our OWC group has our own softball team, and have in the past done intramural volleyball, basketball, and even participate in fantasy NASCAR racing. We\u2019re very supportive of each other at OWC\u2014but let\u2019s just say during the heat of intramural competition things might be said that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily want to repeat in front of your grandmother.<\/p>\n

In addition to Jake Lacy, the film will star Nikki Reed<\/a> of Twilight<\/i> fame (cue teenage girl screams), Kate McKinnon<\/a> and Jay Pharaoh<\/a> of SNL, and Beck Bennett<\/a> (of the \u2018It\u2019s not complicated\u2019 AT&T commercials). All of this comedy in one place? We recommend you don\u2019t drink anything during this movie unless you enjoy it coming out of your nose from laughter.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to get ahead of ourselves but I think it\u2019s safe to say we\u2019ll see you at the Oscars. Until then, we\u2019ll be in our trailer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
