Haven’t written in a while, but that’s okay, because I’m sure no one reads this much.

In my absense I have been working with my friend, Lacy Lagorin, writing shooting and editing a short film; and now it is finally finished. The film is called Wilson. Click on the name to view it or to watch it in slightly better quality on YouTube Vimeo

click here and then click “Watch in HD” just below and to the right of the video. It will talke a bit longer to load, but I think it’s worth it.

I have also uploaded two other videos to the Videos page. Morning Routine is new and very short. Custom Concern: Stop Motion has been on my YouTube channel for a while now, but I am actually currently working on re-editing it in 16×9. Hopefully that will be up fairly soon.

One final video. I have a cameo in Smithfield’s Llamaguy

, a short film by my good friends Jacob Graves and Ryan Thomas. I was also DP for about half of the shoot, “the good parts,” as Jake would say. The film is about the antics of a small town super villain named Llamaguy.  This film actually places me just 3 degrees from Kevin Bacon. (I was in Smithfield’s Llamaguy with James “Quick” Tillis, who was in The Color Purple with Laurence Fishburne who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.)

Watch them, then let me know what you think.

Thank you to everyone who helped out with this project! It has been a very long process getting all of the pieces in place, but I feel certain it was worth the wait.

Right now there are a few very small flaws, (mostly with sound) they will be fixed shortly.

Ben Jenkins – Matt Maynard
Uncle Joe – Mark Adam Goff
Clara Jenkins – Lisa Wilson

After many many months of sitting on this footage, I am pleased to finally be able to share this video with everyone. Back in May of 2009 Ben Rector began recording an EP which has since turned into his third full length record.  He asked me to come hang out in the studio and shoot footage of the recording process. The following is the entire single take recording of the song Dance With Me Baby from the new record, Into the Morning, due out February 16, 2010. Enjoy.

A couple weeks ago Sparrow shot this video for Venue|68′s Easter services:
It was a lot of fun to make. I shot and edited the video and the other folks at Sparrow threw, squirted and dripped all of the nastiness.
