-The sex scene in the beginning of the Reel was from a film that I made about gender and sexuality. It is completely fake, but I get many questions about it. I may be posting those films on vimeo quite soon because I have been working on them again.

- The clips featuring ‘The Human Floor’ were from my 2008 Senior thesis project. I made a documentary about a professional sex worker from Boston and ‘The Human Floor’ who holds world records for his side show acts.

That site is Dark Roasted Blend, and I think they hold a very nice archive of ‘weird and wonderful’ photographs.

Avi Abrams (the creator of the site) contacted me and asked to use one of my San Fran shots for their newest article.

-On Sunday, May 16th, I was once again able to work with Director of Photography Frankie DeMarco. It was on a music video for the up-and-coming British band, One Night Only. The actress Emma Watson and lead singer of the band, George Craig, were the main characters of the video. We traveled around most of the city shooting them, including Times Square and a rooftop in Greenpoint with a fantastic view. (Which is where the pictures seen below are from).

Monday, May 24th.

Today I found a whole slew of online gossip about the music video shoot. I’m so surprised that I’ve worked on something that is so gossip ‘worthy’. I find it pretty incredible and amusing. Here are a selection of stills that I found on various sites.

Emma with Alison Foster, a quick witted producer from LA. Right after this she was flying to Las Vegas to produce two rap videos.

The man in the center of this photo is Mecca Don Villain. He was an awesome AD and has been known to rap on early episodes of the Dave Chappelle show.

The DP of this shoot was Frankie DeMarco, who’s feature credits include ‘Rabbit Hole‘, ‘Shortbus‘, and ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch‘. I’m a fan of his work an I feel as though I was extremely fortunate to have been able to work with him. I hadn’t worked with the RED in a while so I hope my AC skills weren’t too disappointing. Luckily I was able to bring my friend David Kruta to work with me and he really saved my life. There were a lot of new challenges for us to work through, but I think we did quite well and resolved them quickly. The whole shoot went very smoothly and we’ll hopefully be able to work with all of these lovely people again soon.
