Now if you're hungry, get yourself something to eat, And if you're dirty, then go take a bath.
MUSIC!
I played in a "mariachi punk band" (featured in the documentary PUNK LIKE ME), and one of our songs was used here in the RANGO trailer- it's the banger starting at 1:35.

Dixie Chicks concert film for the TOP OF THE WORLD TOUR in 2003.
"From what I can see, this DVD was put together by monkeys who had available an unlimited supply of espresso and cocaine. No shot lasts longer than two seconds, and footage from many different concerts is slammed together pell-mell with no regard for anything like continuity."

Millennials... how do they work?
HeyUSA is a crowd-sourced travel show. Season One featured social media stars and besties Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart as they traveled the country in an eight-week road trip led by fans, who determined where the duo went and did through hi-octane social interaction.
W00- This was also a high-octane exercise in trying to deliver a show in real-time.
I also cut the updated X-treme version of HeyUSA- HEYUSAX!
OMG WTF.

SUNDANCE NEW FRONTIER Exhibition
This was director LUCY WALKER's first adventure into Virtual Reality.
Organic, spontaneous, sexy dances progress chronologically through Afro-Cuban Santería rumba, mambo, cha-cha-chá, salsa, breakdancing, and reggaeton, with optional audio tracks reflecting the broader story of Cuban history as revealed in the moves. Palpable and transporting, this live-action virtual reality documentary was filmed on location in Cuba and features Ballet de la Televisión Cubana.

AN INTENSE NEW virtual reality film isn’t a documentary so much as it is a prayer; its lector is a young Liberian woman named Decontee Davis, and her benediction is a plea for help to rebuild her country after Ebola ravaged it in 2014.
It’s a powerful message even when read on paper, but when heard while standing amongst the orphans themselves and the graves of some of the more than 4,800 lives Ebola has claimed in Liberia, it’s downright heartbreaking. And that’s why the UN wants people to experience it in VR: the immediacy of the 360-degree view gives the film a poignancy that a news report simply can’t.
“The rise of VR as a powerful tool of empathy and understanding couldn’t be happening at a better time, really,” Milk says. “In the end we achieved our goal: bringing Decontee Davis’ beautiful story into an immersive VR space. Any positive reverberations resulting in policy-changing or fundraising is really thanks to her, and her spirit.”

These in-theater spots played before feature films in England. While shooting I was anointed a DUDEIST PRIEST (my certification is featured in the spot!). The second spot features documentary filmmaker CHRIS BELL with whom I attended film school back in the day. The last spot features a magician who also starred in the doc MAKE BELIEVE.

This spot features THOMAS MIDDLEDITCH long before his SILICONE VALLEY fame. While I was editing this spot, I was fortunate to share a wall with ERROL MORRIS (who was repped at this same production company). Beyond his notoriously loud voice, Mr. MORRIS would also play the cello on occasion.
