2010-01-17T11:42:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys,

Have been staying really busy for the last few months planning, scoping, and plotting in order to shoot a movie in San Francisco. Finally, we just finished shooting it on Thursday. I am going to put together a trailer soon and have up for people to check out, but for now here are some screen grabs to tide you over.

HOUSE PORSCHE!!!...and a little something extra

2009-09-19T09:13:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

Here it is...the long awaited...House Porsche. Made earlier this summer with the good folks at UCB. Enjoy.

Also...

Your boy won a Cine Golden Eagle Award for a black and white 16mm film I made a couple of years ago and the people at CINE decided to add the winners to their website. They only agreed to put mine up if I gave them a really pretentious headshot...Check it out!

Student Habitats Commercial

2009-08-27T20:09:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

I know you have been dying without a blog entry in a few weeks. I apologize for my absence.

Here's a commercial I made earlier this summer, for StudentHabitats.com! Get ready, cuz its about to BLOW UP!

Let me know what you think. Let's get some followers on this!

Hugs and Kisses

2009-08-13T13:48:00.000-07:00

Here's something that most of you probably haven't checked out yet...

Who's got two thumbs and produced this movie? THIS GUY!

Directed by John Langan. Let me know what you all think!

P.S. John has a pretty sweet band called The Motorcycle Industry. The intro song to Hugs and Kisses is theirs and they were also kind enough to let me use one of the other tracks off of their album in Park Pros...soon to come!

Check them out!

Here is the song from Hugs and Kisses

...and here is the song for the credits of Park Pros

You can get their whole album for free at...

Park Pros - Time to finish up!

2009-08-07T09:09:00.000-07:00

Alright,

Shot last November, Park Pros is a Movie that I wrote, co-produced, and directed. So this has been a very long time coming and I apologize to all those who have been involved with the making of this film for it not being finished yet. I hope we can all still be lovers...

Regardless, it is getting finished! SOON! REAL SOON! I have been in the "lab" for the past three days non-stop, doing ADR sessions, foley sessions, sound designing, etc. We are very close to completion.

In the meantime, for all of you who haven't seen it, and for those of you who just need to watch it again, here's an oldie but a goodie, the Park Pros trailer! Along with a couple of pics!

For those of you who may not know, ADR stands for Automated Dialogue Replacement, which basically means when the sound you record on set is not usable in the film for whatever reason, the actors have to come in and lip-sync their lines. They speak into the mic while watching themselves on the screen. Good ADR isn't really noticable. Bad ADR is. Luckily, our actors were on the ball. BOOYAH!

...a little romantic lighting for me and Raquel...I have no idea what that fader does...

House Porsche

2009-08-02T18:09:00.000-07:00

Alright guys,

5th blog entry...for my 5 followers! Thanks for your uncompromising support during these tough times for blogs...

Anyway, I got a couple of interesting tidbits for you guys...

So yesterday, we shot House Porsche, the first UCB/Sunduko production. A short comedy video about a man who had nothing left but his car...BUT HIS CAR FUCKING RULES! Here are some behind the scenes shots...Video Coming Soon!

If you ever find yourself needing a Porsche...just ask your friendly neighborhood advertising executive! Our man's alarm didn't go off in the morning when we had to pick up the car from the body shop. By the time he called me to let me know, we were already pretty behind schedule so yours truly had to jet through the Manhattan streets to pick up our guy in the financial district. Switching lanes down Broadway in that, I could definitely get used to that shit.

The Crew.

Here are also a couple of pictures from the set of a pretty high budget commercial I recently worked on...I won't say who it was for, but it rhymes with PC Jenny...

Scope it!

This was on the inside of the box truck...

It's finally here...

Recorded with a little Cannon digital still camera. Stuff that caught the eye in the last few months. Hope you guys don't hate it...or me for that matter.

Pictures from Panama City....Florida

2009-07-29T13:34:00.000-07:00

Hey Fans,

I figured I wouldn't keep you waiting for too long, but I wasn't really sure what I should post...so I decided to just give you some photographs I took earlier this summer while I stayed at my friend's house in Panama City, FL.

Had some good southern food. "Can't I eat tomatoes without them being fried?" You may one day ask yourself. The answer is: Not in the south.

Played some poker at the local dog track. And took the locals for $250! Holla at ya boy!

And took some pics: These are of Alex and Tim and the house we stayed at. Maybe a little HDR tweaking?

The House where we stayed...

This one is more vivid.

This one is more vintage.

48 Hour Film Project - Side Effects

2009-07-26T08:41:00.000-07:00

So here it is! 48 Hour Film Project, in NYC 2009. This summer. I should have probably posted this about a month ago when it was a little more relevant, so for all you fans out there who follow my whereabouts religiously, I sincerely apologize! I got some pics from the premiere for you and also the video itself! CHECK IT!

Here's one of me stealing the "Best Ensemble Cast" Award from Kloke...you love it. We also got the "Audience Award" from our section. PLAYTIME!

So by the way...

The way this 48 hour film project thing works is that you get a specific genre, prop, line of dialogue, and character that you have to use (so people can't cheat) on Friday night at 7pm and you have to write, shoot, and edit a finished product by 7pm Sunday.

genre: Film De Femme
prop: Keys
character: Benjamin Grimes/Professional Organizer
line o' dialogue: You will never believe what I just heard
