On Saturday, August 29, I am shooting and directing a music video for Peelander-Z, which is one of my favorite bands ever. I’m super excited for it, but the success of the video depends upon you and everyone showing up! The audience is a BIG part of the video and if your name is Mike or John, you’ll actually be heavily featured in this!

The video is for the song “So Many Mike” which talks about how it’s strange that everyone in the world is named Mike or John. It’s a performance video with the band playing on the floor and interacting with their fans surrounding them in a circle pit, so the fans (aka you) will be seen rocking out, singing along, dancing, etc. and those named Mike and John will make big and important cameos!

We will be shooting at Death By Audio in Brooklyn (49 S 2nd St., Brooklyn, NY) but only rented the space for a few hours in the afternoon/early evening. Shooting begins promptly at 3 p.m. and we worked out a deal with them to open the bar for us with awesome drink specials so we can all get drunk and rowdy.

No matter what your name is, you should come and bring everyone you know. It’s gonna be a blast!

In other news, the music video for The Metermaids got a special online exclusive premiere deal at MySpace Music! Though the encode on the site looks terrible, in only a few days it racked up over 14,500 views on MySpace alone! That’s an impressive number for ANY music video premiere and it exceeded all of our hopes and expectations! Due to the success on MySpace Music, AOL now wants to feature it on their front page in the coming weeks.

The music video I shot for Twisted Sister recently played on MTV. At the very last minute, we had to switch out some shots due to gun imagery. That was a hassle, but I’m glad it got resolved and got some airplay.

Today is my birthday so I’m going to stop updating the site now. I look forward to the coming year and hope lots of interesting projects come my way, so if you have one, feel free to hit me up!
