Just back from the Long Shadow Film Festival, where Keep on Rollin’ won Best Music Video / Documentary. Thanks to the festival programmers and to everyone involved.

My music promo for Voodoo Swing, Keep on Rollin’ will appear in the inaugural edition of the Long Shadow Film Festival next week. The venue is at the Filmbar in Phoenix, AZ.

This weekend I shot some scenes for writer / director Mike Pearson’s upcoming project. I’ve agreed not to divulge any info regarding the content as it is “in production”. There will be more info available as the project progresses. All the motion footage captured this weekend was super 8mm, shot on his Sankyo 620 XL camera. We used pro8mm stock, 200T(interiors) and 64D (exteriors). And I shot some medium format promo stills on his Holga.

England Flies, the music video I directed for the Automatic Erasers is featured on the first ever Zia Records DVD compilation, “You Saw Us Back When…: Volume 1”. The DVD consists of short films, music videos and trailers.
