Space 1026 is celebrating its ten year anniversary this year and for the next two months our retrospective show “1026: NEVER FORGET! – Do It Yourself with Other People” will be up at the Space. Dave Dunn and I put together a sixteen channel video installation which revisits the past ten years in video work with over 12 individual loops and the 1026 documentary I’ve been working on split between four TV’s. The audio is patched into two unmarked mixers and you can mix all the channels together or listen to them individually. The show runs until January 1st.

I’m in a group photo show called “ACTING 101″which is up for the month of October. It’s the first show in a new space opened by the Midwives Collective a rad group of Philly ladies who make great stuff.
The Midwives Gallery is at 722 Sansom St. 2nd floor.
The music video I made for Philly rap group Plastic Little is being officially released today by their label Free News Projects! The video features Kurt Hunte from Plastic Little as a pop-locking doctor who makes his hospital rounds with a cast of dancing nurses choreographed by my good pal Devynn Emory. It also features the very first time any rap group has given birth (to themselves) in a music video. All the costumes were designed by Carrie Collins of Fabric Horse fame. Thanks so much to Duncan Frazier, Dominique Caron, Demian Fenton, Valerie Keller, Jason Fetz, Chad Fahs, Kevin Gallagher, Joel Minnich, Chris Cottone, and all the many many people who helped out on this!
Check out the music video: HERE

I spent two weeks on a bike-film tour with my friend, and one of my most favorite
filmmakers, Bill Brown. Bill just finished an amazing new documentary
called “The Other Side” about the US/Mexican border and decided to
bike it around the US with some other movies about the region.
I rode with him from Pittsburgh to Lafayette, Indiana. The first half
of the trip we rode with pals Lori J. Reynolds and Renato Umali.
Check out more pictures: HERE.

My friend Laura at the Houston Center in South Philly recently hooked me up
with Frank Nitty, a 13-year old local up-and-coming rapper from south 7th street.
She asked me to come by the center for an afternoon and film two tracks for a rap
DVD Frank wants to put out called “Street Movement.”
Check them out: Track 1 Track 2
I just finished a music video for my pals in the Philly band SWEATHEART. The song is called “Finger Bangin’”. Check it out: HERE
Big thanks to everyone in the cast and crew especially Dominique Caron the Director of Photography.
So the northwest is beautiful and even more beautiful when you are on a film tour with your pals Maple Rabbit. They played music and showed their videos and I showed a program of my films and videos.
