Liquid Television

The original Liquid Television was at the top of the list of reasons I learned to draw, went to art school, and pursued making stuff instead of a real job. I couldn’t be happier to be helping to run the new Liquid Television with the smart people at Titmouse and 100′s of badass animators.

A video so cool it was cool to be a suit on it. It won a 2012 Woodie Award. An amazing collaboration between Drew Barrymore, Flower Films and Mean Magazine Founder Kashy Khaledi.

Savage County

In the summer of 2009 in Memphis Tennessee with a script co-written by Dan Alvarado and a crew of talented actors and filmmakers from Los Angeles and Memphis, I directed Savage County as what was originally intended to be a fifteen-part web series that worked as either short chapters or as a feature-length “film for new media.”

Greenlit by David Gale, and MTV Networks and produced by BR2 in Memphis* it was a project that was exciting initially only for its potential. When we made it, we didn’t know where it would live, or how it would work within the network’s many tendrils. With a production budget of $250,000, it was always possible that it might just be an expensive experiment in online horror.

Since then, it’s become much more. Thanks to a campaign by Eventful, millions of people watched the Savage County trailer and 150,000 people demanded that MTV air the show. It premiered on MTV2 on October 7th, 2010 reprised on MTV Tr3s on October 30th and 31st, and is being represented for sale by Cinetic Media through their FilmBuff service.

Savage County is currently available on Xbox, Playstation, iTunes and DVD.

Leading up to the release of the film, we released a number of assets to give the audience a taste of the film, including two original comic books (the first is HERE, the second HERE), five exclusive trailers, an iPhone and iPad app, and an immersive transmedia experience by award-winning producer Nina Bargiel.Perhaps most notably, we commissioned artist Vincent Castiglia to create an original poster executed (as is all his work) in his own blood.

In making Savage County, I was inspired by the innovative horror filmmaking of the seventies – an era of films that did a lot with limited means. In paying tribute to these films and this time period in horror filmmaking, I’m proud that we were able to do so much with our limited means, while taking advantage of all the new possibilities that new platforms offer.

Teenage Queen

I love Snowglobe. I had a blast making this, which I “directed” but was done in collaboration with the band, Kate Crowder – lead singer of Two-Way Radio, and shot by award-winning filmmaker and photojournalist, Alan Spearman.

This is Fi

Someday I will have a little free time and a little money and will make a movie from the 100′s of hours of Ho Keen Fi’s life that he was generous enough to share, in his video diaries and in tapes shot by me and Jonathan Schwarz.

Address to Silas…

A spin-off of How Do I Say This – Address to Silas on the Occasion of the Retreat at Los Angeles County is a short that uses a civil war battle in a contemporary apartment to tell the story of a girl who wants to mend a break-up. It won Best Short Film at Indie Memphis in 2008.
