This past March I followed UK band Fanfarlo to Austin for SXSW to create more than a documentary, but a conceptual exploration of the themes of their album, Reservoir (à la Tarkovsky/Wim Winders with a bit of Frederick Wiseman). This four-part series is what resulted:
Episode I + introduction - “A dizzying, endless round of plugging and unplugging gear, noodling around on stage and explaining to someone why, even though you don’t know yourself.” Episode II - “The Sexy Episode” they call it - “There’s something infantalising about being in a band in general, and being on tour specifically.” Episode III - In the Studio - A behind-the-scenes look at their studio re-working of ‘Atlas’ for ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ soundtrack. Episode IV - “The Honesty Episode” as they allude to it. “…marvel at Brian Gonzalez’s masterly camerawork and editing, once again doing a sterling job at making us look cooler by far than we actually are. Watching his films makes us want to be in Fanfarlo … which is lucky, I guess.”
at the beginning of the month I saw Margaret Cho at Radio City Music Hall and my face hurt from laughing so hard. she closed with this beloved hymn entitled “Eat Me Out”
All six collections, including the final 3, are on the sidebar.
Camera operators include yours truly and the amazing Adam Donald.
*special thanks to Rupert.
the day I got back from shooting a feature in Connecticut for a month, NY treated me with a free Battles show at central park’s summer stage. I love this city.
A girl’s magical adventure of love, sex, politics, greed, violence, heartbreak and rebirth, which resulted in the new music video for Brooklyn band LUFF.
Special Thank you to Nicholas Chakwin, Corey Gegner and Jennifer Kachler for being amazing.
for my Masters of Light final, I made a video on a personal hero of mine -Richard Sylvarnes, talking about his experimental feature film, H.C.E. that notoriously challenged audiences at the Tribeca Film Festival not too long ago.
so last month I was hired as a videographer for Global Fashion News and got a chance to do some of my own interviews with the familiar faces of Project Runway!
