SHORT STUFF

Everything here was written and directed by yours truly. Just a few of my favorite short form projects.

JUST LIKE THAT
1 min 22 sec

I made this for Nell as a gift the night before our wedding. It now plays around the clock on JDate.com where it inspires jewey singles everywhere.

SUBARU CHARACTER STORY

Created this atmospheric spot for  Subaru and USA Network to celebrate Green Week by focusing a spotlight on real life Subaru owner, nature guide, bird watcher and surfer David MacHamer.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER
2 min

This is a book trailer for Seth Grahame-Smith’s killer follow up to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. An epic book about our greatest president deserves an epic trailer. This was a Bodega Production for the publisher Hachette. So many supremely talented people worked their asses off to capture this action spectacular in one 12 hour shoot day. The trailer immediately went viral and the book has since topped the New York Times Bestseller List.

Kinda cool department: This trailer was covered by The Huffington Post, The Hollywood Reporter, and countless other blogs.

SAVE THE DATE
1 min

Made this “save the date”  invitation with my dear friends Kelly and Val.  Basically me and a camera and two of the best subjects in the whole world getting down and dirty for a few hours. Cake fetishists take note. No bald men were harmed in the making of this film.

*Factoid: Yours truly also served as the minister for their wedding. Rock. And. Roll.

SHE’S NOT THERE
2 min 32 sec

This short film shot on vacation in St. John (VI) became an early inspiration for Hello Lonesome. Shout out to The Zombies for this tune I love so much. It also might be worth noting that I served as the director, editor, cameraman, and star here. (Warning: Rated BN for Brief Nudity)

Humiliating Fact: Being star and cameraperson is much easier than it looks, it just takes patience. For She’s Not There I’d set up the shot, hit the record button, get in the frame and do whatever goofy thing I could dream up, then just repeat the process again and again until I had everything crossed off my shot list. Then, I used final cut pro to piece it all together. If you’re not shy, I highly recommend trying it.

HELLO LONESOME TRAILER

1 min 19 sec

This is the trailer for my first feature film, HELLO LONESOME , coming to film festivals in 2010. The very talented Kelly Wollschlager produced this teaser for us and I can’t imagine a two minute piece capturing the heart and soul of our film any better.

Shout out to Brooklyn based Jones Street Station for their track “Oh, Victoria”. We’re so excited to have their delicious and heartbreaking tunes all over our soundtrack. Go buy their music now, they are fucking amazing.
