ACTIVE CHILD - HANGING ON
Shot in the mouth of a hidden Lake Ontario tributary and along the Au Sable River in the Adirondack Region of New York State, the production’s main home base was a turn of the century log hunting cabin sitting on 300 untouched acres, a mere 50 yards from the water. The production spanned 2 weeks in late November, early December with 3 primary crew members, a guide and the on-screen talent out on location. Clad in chest-high fishing waders and several backpacks of equipment, the crew ventured along the rivers’ banks and beneath the water in search of large Brown Trout and remote locations to tell the intimate story of an aging fly fisherman. A legend of his time, the fisherman is reminded of the life he has dedicated to his craft on a struggled journey to find his next big catch.
All fishing was done under a strict catch and release policy with emphasis on the well-being of the animals involved.

A doc by the lovely Penny Lane about love and the Voyager and Carl Sagan and the Golden Record and Annie Druyan! I shot all the 16mm footage that breaks up the found footage - wonderful day at Coney Island with some of my favorite people.
The Voyagers (by Penny Lane)
I love anything having to do with Carl Sagen and, of course, Ashley Connor..saw this at this year’s AFI Fest. Beautiful.
George Bailey: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That’s a pretty good idea. I’ll give you the moon, Mary.
Mary: I’ll take it. Then what?
George Bailey: Well, then you can swallow it, and it’ll all dissolve, see… and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair… am I talking too much?
Our friends, KISSES, alongside their friends, Keep Shelly in Athens, have released this very fine holiday mixtape for your holly ears. If you’re a fan of holiday tunes as much I am, you’ll enjoy the change in pace. Take it with you!
And here’s its nice write up on THE FADER.
Princeton will be releasing their sophomore album, Remembrance of Things to Come on 02.21.2012. Very excited for this project as I have had the opportunity to hear a few tracks. In spirit of the album’s title, here is a short we were able to assemble from found-footage we found…particulière.
Off the album, here is Phase.
caught a glimpse of our pal, kahlil, again doing work on his latest promo for Shabazz Palaces - yes, it’s stunning.
