A VIDEO FOR A FAULTY CHROMOSOME

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Don

Here’s a music video experimental film thing I directed produced made for one of my favorite bands, A Faulty Chromosome. It consists largely of Flip HD footage shot at the Toy & Action Figure Museum in Paul’s Valley, OK and it’s already gained some press on the Portuguese blog FLOGA-SE. I hope you like it enjoy it don’t hate it. You can pick up A Faulty Chromosome’s ‘Craving To Be Coddled So We Feel Fake-Safe’ through Yelping Hill Records.

CURRENT PROJECTS…

Posted on September 7, 2010 by Don


I redesigned my website, so I figure it’s a good time to give an update on what I’ve been working on.

Dano Johnson and I recently completed two ads for Democratic Texas Gubernatorial candidate Bill White and I’m currently finishing the first episode of the American Widow Project web-series. I’ve  just started work on a PSA for Voices of a Grateful Nation, a music video for Michael Des Barres (above), and editing on Charles Wiedman’s The Sinner.

I’ll be posting more information about all of these projects soon…

COLLECTION AGENCY FILMS FEATURED ON THE HUFFINGTON POST

Posted on March 17, 2010 by Don

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.
