JollyvillePictures.com is now online and so is Tate English’s critically-acclaimed, award-winning short film The Ballad of Friday and June (which I produced and edited). Since being posted, the film has receive some nice press from Bad Lit and Film Festival Secrets.

JollyvillePictures.com also features lots of other work from Tate English, Dano Johnson, and myself including our new web-series Love, Lies, & Video Files.

A screen grab from Collection Agency Film’s ad for Charles Wheelan (which was written by Dano Johnson and myself, from an idea by Bill Hillsman) was recently used as the photo for the Huffington Post’s story on “The Craziest Political Campaign Ads from Across America,” which we take as a compliment. You can watch the ad, along with some others (which I would argue might be crazier) at Collection Agency’s website.

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.

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.

The “gory” cut of ‘Zombie a Go Go’ (the first video from Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures) is now online. The video premiered at Fangoria.com on July 15th and has been making the rounds on the internet since. The band’s album will be released on August 28th (pre-order it on Amazon), the same day they make their big-screen debut in Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2. An alternate cut of the video will also be debuting sometime this summer, more info soon…

Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 introduces the world to a band called Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures, the band (featuring Jesse Dayton of ‘Banjo and Sullivan’ fame) will release their debut album, Rob Zombie Presents Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures (music from Halloween II), on August 28th. I recently directed the video for their first single, ‘Zombie a Go Go’. The video is currently in post-production but, in the meantime, Fangoria.com ran a set report. Read all about it here.
