"East of Main Street" Retrospective Screening at HBO Theater

HBO organized a screening of all three years of "East of Main Street!" So many people came out for it (the place was overcapacity) and we had a lot of fun. It was truly one of the best screening experiences I've ever had.

My Students // Spring 2012

I teach a class at NYU called "Electronic Cinematography." The only parameter NYU gave me when I took the gig was that I am not allowed to let my students shoot film in class. So on the last day of class, my students shot some leftover film I had in my fridge. As a tribute also to Pac Lab, who long serviced NYU students, we shot Super 16mm reversal and had Pac Lab handle the processing, prep and transfer to miniDV tape. I paid for all of it myself for the love of film. I messed up the setup of the variable speed control at the end, so what was meant to be slow motion 48 fps was actually exposed at fast motion 4.8 fps (and is blown out). Sorry about that. Still, it's a fun time. Remember these faces. Some of them are going to be very, very good in the freelance world.

Refused

Refused decided to play a spontaneous small show at a Brooklyn bar after their two sold out dates in NYC. I went here right after seeing them play an amazing set at Terminal 5. Here is the first song of their set (I will post the whole show soon).

The full set can be seen here.

Dream Bigger

I was selected to be a mentor for Ashton Kutcher's new "Dream Bigger" web series. People pitched us some web series ideas and listened to our feedback. Here is a picture from their official Instagram page where it looks like I'm saying something!
