We are putting the finishing touches on a couple of exciting new videos for Nike. We’ve been dying to put these out there, so stay tuned.

In late October, we are scheduled to make another live concert video for The Knights.  This time they will be joined by famous cellist Jan Vogler.  Today we went to check out the location.

Mel is producing, Ariel is production designing, and I’ll be co-directing with Andrew Zuchero.

This is what happens when The Man isn’t paying for your hotel rooms.

I’m reading a galley of José Saramago’s new book “Death With Interruptions” about a world suddenly without death and Rel is reading “Our Man in Damascus” about a famous Jewish spy who was hung in Syria.   Nev is taking the picture, probably in his underwear.

You’re going to have to wait a little while to the video this still is taken from, but we have a feeling it’s going to be worth the wait…

Guess what we’re shooting tomorrow….

It’s sad to leave such a wonderful city, but all good things must come to an end.  As you can see, Jody and Henry really got into the spirit of things.  Next stop: Los Angeles.

In August 2006 I traveled to New Orleans for a week to work with two of my best friends, Gabe Nussbaum and Elizabeth Wood, on their documentary about a group of kids in the first school to re-open post Katrina. This weekend the film premiered and won the Audience Choice “New Orleans Rebirth” Award at the International Human Rights Film Festival! Jody and I went down to shoot a follow-up (and possible new ending) at the premiere.

Our visit conveniently coincided with the New Orleans Pirate Film Festival. Overheard conversation:

Local : Eat a d*ck, get out of our f*cking town!

Pirate: Shut your mouth.
