My Music Video for Snowglobe: Teenage Queen

I love Snowglobe. They make smart, sad, funny, catchy music and they’re great guys to boot. Making a music video for a band that I’m really into was one of the things that made making movies seem like a good idea when I first started trying to make movies.

Zombie Porn in (contemporary) Art

So, when I posted a link to an article on “Zombie Porn in Art History“, all of a sudden the #1 google search term for this website was “Zombie Porn” and the number one referring city was Berlin.

Perhaps I have Bruce LaBruce to thank. His new gay zombie porno arthouse/filmfest movie “L.A. Zombie” is now at a (gallery? artspace?) called Peres Projects in Berlin.

2010 New Year’s Resolution: An Indie Film a Month – Fish Tank

Okay, so I’m two days late on my indie-film-per-month-in-theater resolution, but last night I saw “Fish Tank” by Andrea Arnold. It’s brilliant. It’s naturalistic, but has a structured, novel-like complexity that doesn’t come easy to film. The main character, Mia, is a complete badass (less than 5 minutes in, she head-butts another teen in the head and breaks her nose) but contends with a family and an environment that’s so tragic and so bleak you want to rescue her from the movie.
