2 sets of dear friends and frequent collaborators screened their movies in the past couple of weeks.  There’s nothing quite as gratifying as seeing your friends’ movie play in front of a full house.

Josh & Benny Safdie of Red Bucket Films introduce their new film “Go Get Some Rosemary” to a house packed with friends at Walter Reade Theater.  Ariel art directed the film and Supermarché provided post-production facilities and equipment.  The film premiered at Cannes  Director’s Fortnight and now they’re on the festival circuit–next stop Munich.

Jody Lee Lipes and Lance Edmands field questions at BAM after the screening of their feature doc “Good Times Will Never Be The Same“.  It’s screening again on June 24th as part of the BAMcinemaFEST.  Click here to buy tickets.

When we don’t post for a while it means one of three things is going on.  1)  We’re super busy.  2) We’re super relaxed.  3)  We’re out of the country.   We’ve been having a lot of 1) going on lately and not a lot of 2).  But I did find time to go to the ball game with my dad the other night.  The new stadium is nice….and these seats weren’t bad either.

There’s an actual article about Rebecca Schiffman, whose video you can see in our “music videos” section.

On my way into Film Forum to see Wendy and Lucy, I saw Spike Jonze in the lobby. He was waiting on his girlfriend Michelle Williams, who had just given a Q & A after the 8:00 screening. I asked him what illuminating insights I had missed.
He considered ways to tell me without ruining the movie…like waiting around till I came out, or time travel.
We settled on what you see below, the most illuminating A from the Q & A written on a card and left for me atop the ATM in the lobby. Very smart.

The movie was eh.

Or at least I met Fred Armis, the guy who plays him on Saturday Night Live. Look…
Election Night, Union Square, NYC.

Last week we art directed a top secret music video for our friends over at Greencard Pictures, produced by our #1 favorite producer Melody Roscher, directed by our British friend Jim Canty.   We can’t give you any hints as to who the artist was except to say that he is so famous they have interns over at the record label trolling the internet to find out if anyone posts photos from the set of his music video before it is released.

Here’s a sweet little bedroom set we designed in the apartment of Jim Barber.

Here’s one of our top 2 favorite A.D.’s in NYC : John Mingalone.

By the end of the day our only responsibility was to keep track of 2 coffee cups.  Good thing we had back-ups.
