Walsh Family Media in Production on ‘The Cool Beans’ Movie Being Produced in New York City

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 06, 2009 – Walsh Family Media (WFM), a premier independent animation studio in New York City, is producing their first CG feature film, “The Cool Beans: We Need a Hit”.  With one feature in production, a sequel in preproduction, and a thriving service division catering to film and commercial clients, Walsh Family Media is emerging as a major player in the entertainment and media industry.  

“The Cool Beans” are the company’s flagship property.  They are a group of hip, contemporary, musicians with an old school flare.  In “The Cool Beans: We Need a Hit”, The Cool Beans, the hippest band in the garden, have spent all their money producing their first song in hopes of landing a recording contract with the Kernel, the president of Marigold Records. The Bean's recording is stolen by rival band The Bad Seedz who are hoping to eliminate the competition and land a contract of their own.  

Apart from being featured in this upcoming film, The Beans are poised to make a big mark on the music scene. Their first single “Bean Somethin’” was released earlier this month on Daddy Bean Records.

Walsh Family Media is an independent intellectual property developer and animation studio based in NYC.  The company was started in 2002 by Hollywood stuntman and entrepreneur Patrick Walsh Jr.  The company’s mission has been consistent since it’s inception: “To strengthen the connection between parents and their children by producing healthy, hip and fun family branded content where the only rule is to keep it cool!”

Walsh Family Media is continuing to “keep it cool” by bringing an independent edge to an industry run by huge corporations.  For instance, on November 11 Patrick Walsh will be riding a children’s tricycle from Downtown Brooklyn to Midtown Manhattan to raise money for charity and to bring attention to independent film in NYC.
