The Suburbs by Mr. Little Jeans (Arcade Fire cover)
Ohhhhh shiiiiit. Such a great tune. Here’s where I stole it from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU6xotoDR6w
More importantly, check out that video. It’s the trailer for Calgary filmmaking sensation Kurt Harder’s debut feature (he’s editing it literally right now, I bet).
This is a quick little teaser I did while in the peak of my film noir phase a few years ago. It simply aims to set up a noir atmosphere, but I stumbled across it the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the visual aesthetic I was able to come up with, too.
The monologue, as my most devoted fans will know, ultimately got tweaked and used in Last Night in Noir, the first video project I worked on (with Ajay Bhandari). If you haven’t already, you can watch all 4 mins here.
Catfish: you blew me away. My favourite movie of the year. And the worst part is, I can’t really tell you why.
No, not because I’m short for words or time, but because I really think—as the poster punningly, intelligently, and ultimately incredibly profoundly hints—you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what it is.
I was fortunate enough to be primed by my friend Voytek not to watch any trailers or read any reviews; I’ve since glanced at some publicity material and wholeheartedly agree: the press really has nothing relevant in common with the film. Well, all except this inexplicable poster, that is. (Make sure to consider it again once you’ve seen the film.)
IRL version of the “Art is Mental” tag I commissioned for 6Qin2C (concept/teaser in my last post). Aidan and Jesse did an awesome job sprayin’, and the footage looks damn promising too!
Some graffiti my bud Ian sketched between auditions—(digitally) sprayed where it’ll be placed in scene #1 of 6Qin2C.
