I’ve always been a storyteller (thanks, Mom & Dad), I know how to make movies (thanks, Loyola Marymount), and now I can make them with my phone (thanks, Apple & Adobe Premiere).
If only I had extra time…
Ah yes, 2020.
Suddenly, we were all home. And somewhere between the shutdown and the remote-work revolution that followed, I found myself with a little more time to make things.
WFH & OOTO,
YDY
One big advantage of working from home, my brain never really stops working.
Ideas just pop into my head.
And my kid seems to be down for pretty much whatever.
So we started making home movies. And never really stopped.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a few.
Pass It On
At Saatchi LA, all that extra remote time led us to a storytelling relay with an odd name, based on a rich tradition.
Exquisite Corpse: Keeping It Quarantined
CD Robyn Stern and I gathered a bunch of creatives to shoot chapters one by one, each within 24 hours and based only on the final three seconds of the previous participant.
It kept us connected, primarily through a potentially catastrophic toilet paper shortage.
Once everyone sent theirs in, I edited and mixed the whole thing together.
EC2: Quarantine Quest
Cut to one year later.
Pandemic still going? Yep.
Priorities adjusted? Yep.
Lives changed? Absolutely.
Sequel necessary? Obviously.
This time, I led the charge with my partner, (Krista Metcalf), gathering 25 creatives to make something bigger, weirder, and considerably more blockbuster-y.
