I'd like to start off with this... a Japanese music video for the band "L'Arc-En-Ciel" and although I didn't direct it, you'll see me as the lead actor. I would say this is the pinnacle performance of my lifetime.

12/26/09 Shoot to Kill
A few years back I was part of a reality/game show for VH1 called "Shoot to Kill." The idea was to re-envision classic music videos from the 80's, with a budget of $500. I was proud of the video we created, but the show never aired.

I managed to track down a copy of the video online.

Here it is.

I don't know why I've done so many videos in this style. Next time I do a music video it will have tons of diagonals, I swear.

2/17/08 - SXSW
I'm thrilled to say that I'm going to be at SXSW in Austin this March for a new feature film that worked on, both in front of and behind the camera.

I can't tell you much about it... it's a mysterious and controversial beast. However, here is the screening information on the festival website:
