Flotsam's Wonder Tonic

Happy New Year! It's been awhile since I last posted, so here goes. I shot this film for Mike Shine in July and finished it in December. It's purpose was to play alongside his art at the Aqua gallery in Art Basil Miami, and again at SFMoma's 75th Anniversary show. The concept was based on a comic that Mike drew and bases most of his art on. I feel like it's kind of a cop out to say that it's a film that's open for interpretation but it is, so suck it.

MINI Confidential

Here is a short web interview/ doc I edited for MINI's new confidential website. The site caters to MINI owners interested in learning more about the brand. This particular interview features the international design team and was shot at the 2009 MINI United Festival at Silverstone Raceway, England. Enjoy.

Cracker Factory

The other day, I went by accident to an abandoned factory in Hunter's Point. Although I was pissed about being lost, I was happy to see such a heaping pile of industrial waste. I went back and took some photos of the place. Check it out on Flickr.

Life Is Super

This is without a doubt, the darkest film I've ever made. It's far from what I normally make, but I like the balance of morbidity and cynical humor in it. I hope you will too. I plan on cutting a funnier version of it in the near future.

My Doc on Juxtapoz

I just found out that Juxtapoz Magazine is featuring the documentary I shot on artist Mike Shine, on their website. If you read my blog, then you've seen it already. But I'm gonna beat a dead horse and post the link because this is my blog and quite frankly I just don't give a fuch. Kisses :)

Short Film

I just finished shooting a short film called, "Life's Super." Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing super about the main character's life. It's a story about an invincible super hero, that wants nothing more than to take his own life. I'll post it in a few weeks after post production.

Can ya hear that sizzle?

A sizzle reel is an industry term for a video montage of past work. Personally, I hate the term, but the way it rolls off your tongue... SIZZLE! So infectious. Anyway, this  montage (SIZZLE!) is a collection of work (SIZZLE!) that I've either shot, directed, or edited (SIZZLE!). Music by a blues band called Mad Midget (SIZZLE!) and an intro from the 60's TV show One Step Beyond. Enjoi (SIZZLE!)

Chipotle

New for the month of April (yeah I know it's May) are some Chipotle ads I directed and edited. The whole idea is that Chipotle's sort of assembly line ingredient process allows you to fully customize you meal. I completed about 7 of these spots, but my two favorites are below. 

"Miracle Burrito" A campy faux infomercial

"Attitude Adjuster"

Mike Shine "Raw Meat on the Doorstep"

This 10 minute documentary premiered at Mike Shine's surf shack recreation installation at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco. The film delves into Mike's inspiration behind his art, as well as the environment he has created in his Bolinas surf getaway.
