Video vs The Real World


I’m really happy to announce that I’ve been commissioned to create a narrative video series for World TV, a national broadcast channel and part of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting. The series will also be distributed on the web at WORLDcompass.

The thematic monthly series extends into 2011, will be short in format and will generally include me exploring how technology and the web is affecting our lives. This is great because it’s something I’m deeply interested in and a topic I’ve been exploring for quite some time now. It’s also great because documentaries and non-fiction work is part of my blood, so to merge it with the work I’ve been doing online is more than I can ask for!

Below is a preview of the video work that I’ll be doing for WORLDcompass/World TV. This one is titled Video vs the Real World and explores my push and pull with creating personal videos for the web.

Hipsters, Hotdogs and Heaven

I love the vibe of Art Walk in Downtown, Los Angeles so I decided to film it so I could show it to you through my eyes. The streets fill up with artists, musicians, food trucks, and people looking to laugh, dance and just have a good time.

Moments and memories of 2009. If we hung out, and I had a camera in my hand, you may be in this video.

A big thank you and a huge hug to all of my friends and family. You made a pretty rotten year globally, seem just simply amazing and full of love locally. xox

TV Spots for Jinx

Been keeping busy. Here are two TV spots we recently produced & directed for Jinx.com — one featuring Epic Fu and the other for Empire Arcadia. We were excited to work on these not only because we’ve been following Jinx for a while, but because we felt they got it right: they wanted to highlight indie folks who were passionate about what they do, in essence becoming a co-commercial (everyone wins). Check out how they’re showcasing the work of the people who are participating in their campaign. They’re a team of passionate folks who love the web and the people on it. How could we pass that up? :)

A big shout out to the team: Steve Woolf (Dir), Lan Bui & Vu Bui (DPs), Rick Rey & Sarah Atwood (production), Tracie Cotta (makeup), Sean Gailey and Tim Norris (Jinx), and Ray Doustdar who made it ALL happen!
