I was the AD for Zooey Deschanel’s directing debut for her band, “She and Him.” She is as lovely as you could hope.
Here are some interviews I made with Daniel Stessen, Sam Gezari, and Dugan O’Neal.
Here is a playlist with all of the interviews (more to come).

If you are in the film industry I suggest making time to watch Steven Soderbergh talk about the current state of cinema.
Music video I AD’d. Great cast and crew.
Here is an 18 minute short film / music video for Laura Marling that I AD’d. We shot it in one day… (for non filmmakers: that’s hard) It was a great crew.
I don’t understand why one of the most heavily trafficked international airports on the planet would choose to remodel its security checkpoints in such a stupid way. Is no one with a technical, logical, practical, or even somewhat competent brain anywhere in the chain of command who could observe and point out that the pre-9/11 ideas surrounding security checkpoints within a modern society are not only cruel but harmful to the psyche of millions of travelers. Visit an airport outside of the United States! See how other airports create a streamlined and non-humiliating experience. If you are making us take off our shoes (terrible and ineffectual) give us a little carpet. If you are going to charge more for checked luggage which forces more people to carry on large and awkward luggage with wheels that should not be lifted, then don’t put uneven metal tables with no rollers on them causing congestion and frustration. If you are going to make us take off all of our layers and belts and jewelry and watches then give us more room before and after to prepare and collect. Have well paid, talented managers that can change and adapt to their airport and customers… Because that’s what we are, customers, and you have been treating us like shit for over a decade. I will do this job for free. Someone please hire me to fix airports. This iPhone rant has been brought to you by; #securitytheater #jfk and the #tsa (at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK))
I was featured in the NY Post’s “My NY Column” on Sunday, written by Tim Donnelly. I was asked to pick my favorite Improv Everywhere locations around the city, and I was able to sneak in UCB Theatre and Peter McManus Cafe as well.

Fun! And seeing John Ward in the high-five photo makes me smile.

I may not change my facebook profile photo, but equality is important. I wish this was obvious to everyone.

I’m too tired to find the link, but this isn’t a sculpture, it is a low/no cost mine sweeper. It is carried by the wind and has enough weight to set off mines. It is also tracked by GPS so that it can show where it has been cleared. It was made for war impoverished countries. It’s pretty brilliant.

The Fuzz is a puppet-crime movie I directed last summer. If you’re in the US, you can see it in on Yahoo this Spring. If you’re outside of the US, it’ll probably come out where you are, but in a different format… anyway here’s the trailer!!
