The Austin Chronicle talks about Jollyville Pictures, The Ballad of Friday and June, Collection Agency Films, Year at Danger, Zombie a Go Go, etc.
The Austin Chronicle’s Marc Savlov recently wrote an article about the “loosely knit” filmmaking collective Jollyville Pictures, to which I belong. Savlov mainly talks about The Ballad of Friday and June, calling it “one of the most exquisite short films to come out of Austin in ages” adding “you’ve never seen anything quite like (it)” and “At a tight nine minutes, Friday and June eloquently articulates, with equal parts humor and heartache, an unnameable cri de coeur that nevertheless should be instantly recognizable to anyone who’s ever chased an artistic dream, stumbled, got back up, and grabbed hold even harder than before. It’s that good.”
That article also talks about Year at Danger (calling it “immensely powerful”), Collection Agency Films, and the music video for Zombie a Go Go.
The issue is on stands now or you can read the article at The Austin Chronicle’s website.

Love at 20: Waiting
Here is the Andy Warhol-inspired video I directed for the band Love at 20. This clip, for the song Waiting, will eventually serve as part 3 in a series of 4 videos, each of which will have a different director making an homage to one of their favorite filmmakers. Love at 20’s album Time to Begin is currently available through iTunes and the completed anthology should be finished early next year.

Music Videos!
Recently I’ve been directing music videos. Currently I’m in post-production on two projects; one for Jesse Dayton from the Voices of a Grateful Nation compilation and one for Love at 20 off of their debut album Time to Begin. Also, Fangoria recently posted this behind the scenes video from the Zombie a Go Go shoot this past summer (an alternate, non-gory version of the finished music video is embedded above, the gory version can be seen here). More information on all things music video related can be found here.
