Studio Show! is a documentary on the artist Jack McLean (Jackson). A retrospective of work and process with bronze and copper constructions. Jackson’s studio resides in the village of Johnsburg, Illinois—a 6.1 square mile northwest suburb of Chicago. This is one of three teasers cut (while in shoot production) for the night of the annual studio show dinner.

I’ve been working on this story for a long time with Nick Kova. We met Fran almost a year ago. Since then, we’ve become friends. And I have dedicated time (with Rebecca Morehiser) to capture the parks in bloom. Really glad it can finally be shared with everyone. If you’re in San Francisco, encourage you to check out the park. It’s a great open space.
A short on Jason Adams (The Kid) for his solo show “Kill Yourself Laughing”, which opened at the Pretty Pretty Collective gallery in San Francisco.
Backstory. On the week of the opening we met with Adams at his art studio in San Jose. It’s not easy for an artist to have someone in the room while they work, especially while finishing pieces for a solo show that opens that week. So we caught up outside the studio, before taking a walk through his artwork. Set up the mic with camera in hand off to the side and observed his experimental multi-layered process for the next hour. After the room filled with fumes from layers of paint on wood and 2 decks, we took a break for the interview.

The first week of February this year, was a cold week in Portland, OR. We were there to begin shooting a series of short documentary style web spots, featuring local businesses for Google Places Portland.
Pacific Pie Company specializes in Australian style pies. They started by selling at the local farmers market. Demand was high, it’s a good meal for any time of the day. Sarah walked us through the pie making process, all handmade in their restaurant. They also source the ingredients from local farmers nearby. This was our first shoot, this is the director’s cut.
Here are three others (of 10) to highlight our experience in Portland.
Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen is THE deli in downtown Portland, OR. Their line is always out the door and down the block for their pastrami, reputation and deli attitude. And if you have a vegan diet, Ken will have something for you (thank you Ken).
Clinton is a co-owner of A Better Cycle in Portland, OR. He took us through a complete overhaul of a bike, which is standard policy before they’ll sell a used bike.
Terry Currier is the owner of Music Millennium, a record shop in Portland, OR. This was shot in the short time we had with Terry, before the in-store concert began.

So the campaign is now rolling out, "Rate the places you love.". It’s a message to everyone who cares about local businesses, to go out and support them by leaving a comment on their service. It’s those good (or bad) marks that attracts others to come and check it out. - http://www.google.com/portland/business/

In August of last year, the Neighbors project began. In a way to prove that a lot can be done in a short amount of time. This includes the planning, shoot and edit. Take 2 hours with a person and tell their story.
Well, a lot of time has past since we wrapped the final shoot for this (November). It’s a self-funded project, so we’ve been piecing together between client work. We are quick when we have dedicated time, Neighbors is ready to be released. We’ve decided to publish in 6 parts over the next 6 days (update: I’m behind on my parts). So here is Part 1. Mike Giant, a full-time artist.
