A large picture hangs in pride of place at tea&cheese HQ; a pixel pipe from Super Mario, written below in French it reads, 'This is not a pipe'  It's a fitting symbol for the subversive comedy duo, known for their video game infused films.
 
In April 2009 tea&cheese's directorial debut, '8-BIT Waterslide in REAL LIFE!' hit YouTube like a pixel tsunami of screaming chiptune colour. Whilst pixel graphics had always had an underground following of artists and fans, '8-BIT Waterslide in REAL LIFE!' brought it to the mainstream, ”Super Mega Hyper Boost Pipe!" became the meme for the initiated nerd.

Featured in design magazines, influential blogs and broadcast on TV networks across the globe, 8-BIT Waterslide pre-empted the retro-pixel revival we are currently experiencing today.  But more importantly, the film was just freakin' hilarious! 

The fresh faced duo, otherwise known as Liam Tate and Jamie Stanton, met at university and bonded over a shared love of funny films and general geek-idge.  tea&cheese personify the new era of bedroom film makers, they have talent, tenacity and a hungry global audience. Their films have racked up millions of views online, won awards & acclaim from around the world, however they say a
compliment from Edgar Wright (Director of Scott Pilgrim, Shaun of the Dead) is one of their most
treasured accolades. 

tea&cheese's on-going YouTube web series, ‘n00bs' (meaning a newbie in video game language) follows a group of forgotten retro game characters exploring the wonders and pitfalls of Real Life. "It's like Toy Story... But with dick jokes". That's the elevator pitch and I was sold, but beyond the one liner 'n00bs' demonstrates a brilliantly creative and humorous perspective on how another species might view our world. Its pure power-up infused satire. 

Their outrageous, blaxploitation infused short, 'Isaac and Quincy - The TV Show?' (2010) has been rebooted for 2015 as a fourteen minute tour de force. It's a fast-paced action-packed comedy cartoon starring Reno Wilson (Mike and Molly, Transformers) and Alex Désert (The Avengers, The LeBrons) as two badass cop's with oversized afro's 'shooting their way to justice… one innocent bystander at a time'. Currently winning awards on the film festival circuit, the duo will be pitching it in Hollywood this summer… 

tea&cheese's unique brand of humour and candy-floss-circus of visual and sonic skills has cemented their reputation as an up and coming creative duo to watch. 

Game on!
