The End of September

I guess I haven’t written much in September. I haven’t felt like it. It’s been a busy month. Been moving my mental furniture around. Redecorating my mind. Refocusing my focus. Getting on with the getting on. Not the kind of stuff I like to talk about. There are some things I am excited about. Things [...]

What is R3TUAL?

I don’t know where this stuff comes from. These ideas. I think that the thing I’m most scared of in life is that someday there wont be any more ideas. For me, that is. Hard to believe that I made this over 4 years ago now. I was an inch away from calling it off. [...]

DNA Recordz

How strange that in two days I would have been affiliated with two items on RadioJavan. My friend Behnam Mokri publishes this online magazine every few months. I’ve shot over a dozen videos for Ben and I can easily say his talent and vision are extraordinary. He always knows what he wants and he demands [...]

The 2009 DP Reel

The awesome thing about photography and filmmaking is that you never stop learning. There are always new challenges and new opportunities to express yourself. Here’s the new DP reel. The music is from my good friend at the Dead Beat Project, which I highly recommend if you are looking for awesome original scoring for any [...]

B3YOND

Every image here is from a digital still. Except the last, which was created in a program called Poser. It was all put together in After Effects and the music is a NIN track I remixed. Get the latest Flash Player to see this player. [Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on [...]

Ground Floor Prospect

Since this is the week to dig through and post the archives then this is a must. One of my all time favorites. The guy on screen is one of my oldest friends here in California and definitely my oldest collaborator. We have made many movies together (and we have a few upcoming projects still [...]

MCLC

I’m very proud of this little movie. It represents to me the peak of the work I was doing during a certain period of my life. It was commissioned to play during the grand opening of a school, almost 3 years ago now. The mayor and lots of other local political types attended. I co-wrote [...]

Another average weekend

Busy weekend. Early. Audio recording. Drive. Visit. Celebrate. Candles, Walking & Charity. Late. Sleep. Not enough. Early. Drive. 13th floor. Backwards. Shooting. Long. Late. Hungry. Tired. Drive. Sleep… Tweet

Corpse Run – Los Angeles Premier

This is kinda cool. Corpse Run will make it’s Los Angeles big screen debut at the Sunset 5 theater on June 5th, 2009 at 9:30PM as part of the Dances with Films Festival. In case your new here, “Corpse” is a little movie we made with some friends a few years ago. It’s written and [...]

6 in 5 over 3

What does the title mean? In the last 3 weeks I’ve spent 5 days shooting 6 music videos. I’m tired. But it’s been both fun and challenging. We’ve shot on rooftops, in a studio. Gorilla style in downtown LA. In dingy desert motels and on dusty deserted highways. The photo below was taken by producer [...]

The Walk of Shame, or “Better”

Often times the ability or desire to wear multiple hats is not a helpful thing. People like to pigeon hole you or put you in an easily categorized little box and they aren’t always happy or accepting when you venture away from their idea of who you are or what you should be doing. I [...]
