THE DARKNESS just released a brand new music video directed by myself and my good friend THOM LESSNER! Rolling Stone just did the official premiere which you can check out HERE.

They are a brilliant band and I was psyched to get to work on this project! Thom and I had an amazing dream team of super talented people help us turn this around in a ridiculous amount of time including: Harvey Benschoter, Jacob Ciocci, Peter Burr, Zac Palladino, Spencer Sheridan, Bonnie Brenda Scott, Jason Hsu, Emilia Brintall, Brian Langan, David Dunn, MJ Schirmer, Kevin Gallagher, Rose Luardo, and Jesse Olanday.

Check out the new and improved website for All Ages Productions! AAP is a production company/collective/life-force from myself, animator Lori D., and video artist David Dunn.

To promote their new car, The Fiesta, the Ford motor company launched a nationwide campaign involving events in different cities. One of the projects was to give a budget to filmmakers in different areas to make a short film on whatever they want provided it involve the location and somehow shows the car. I made a short documentary about the amazingly talented Philadelphia photographer Zoe Strauss.

The film is playing at the Riverview Theater in Philadelphia on Thursday June 3rd in front of Iron Man 2. The event is FREE if you RSVP ahead of time.

You can RSVP HERE.

The Food Network is starting a new channel called, “The Cooking Channel”. I developed what is now one and could maybe possibly become several new spots for them with the folks at Big Smack. Ish Klein is the tomato and the costume and set were mastermined by Carrie Collins with many of the set-pieces also originating from the brain of Jason Hsu.
