    • BROS: The Documentary

    In 2013, freelance reporter and videographer Matt Kelley was given full access to the inner workings of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society as they embarked on their most ambitious rock opera to date, MURDERCASTLE. As if a large scale original theatre production wasn’t enough of a challenge, the BROS also decided at that time to take on the financial responsibility of their first official offices and workshops at The Bell Foundry in Baltimore's Station North Arts and Entertainment District. 

    Shortly after the beginning of principal photography, BROS member and MICA film grad Greg Bowen volunteered to help record some of the unfolding events. This led to a partnership between Matt and Greg that ultimately spurred the founding of Human Being Productions. The company officially took on Derek Brown (H.H. Holmes) as a third partner in 2014 when we officially incorporated. 

    Another two years and countless hours later, we have a movie that, short of a small initial investment, we've managed to finance and produce completely on our own.

    And now we want to show it to you! We've rented a theatre and are selling tickets to the only scheduled screening of our movie. If people like it, we will definitely show it again. But for now, this is the only showing on the books so get your tickets and come hang out! We'd love to share our story with you.
