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.

The Hatalog

When you believe in a product, you model it yourself. I’m glad people are still making these styles of hats.

Spike Jonze’s “I’m Here” for Absolut Vodka

If you believe a Wired Magazine article about a crazy-expensive web series you never saw – the future of media is product placement (as laid out in the hilariously titled “Hollywood Has Finally Figured Out How to Make Web Video Pay”).

Here’s the Absolut/Spike Jonze take on the thing.

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.

Google tells me I’m not the first to think of this joke, but the Golden Globes reminded me.

$5 Cover Seattle Trailer

We’ve been working on the release of $5 Cover Seattle – it’s going to be great. It’s directed by Lynn Shelton, whose Humpdaywas the talk of Sundance 2009 (and is funny and subtle and a great film to watch in a crowd). The bands are awesome. A lot of talented filmmakers contributed. They’re doing a preview of selected scenes at Sundance 2010 and it has the same release date as Savage County, which is to say – I have no idea when it comes out.
