One of the most amazing experiences I had was attempting to go spearfishing and to film while spearfishing, in California. Though I failed miserably, I got a chance to make Nicolas Putnam eat sea urchins from the ocean. I enjoyed them. He did not. It is all captured with my awesome camera. Stay tuned for part III next week.
SXSW was a blast. Moth to Flame Films also made an appearance at Shakespeare’s on 6th street with the Eagle Pritchard Murray Band. This was a special occasion because EPMB debuted their first music video, “Favorite Misery,” directed by Christine Chen, as well. Moth to Flame Films was there to document the entire performance, which was awesome. Be sure to check out the music video on the site. EPMB “Favorite Misery” Music Video These guys are fantastic musicians as well as fantastic people to be around. Everyone should definitely check out their stuff. We see a very bright future ahead…
Moth to Flame Films had the honor of working with two very inspirational women. Heather Alden, artist from Faded Paper Figures, and Hollywood actress, Michelle Faraone. Clinique wanted spec commercials that answered the question “What is Happiness to You?” I thought about this for a while and came up with the idea of interviewing women who enjoy what they do. My inspiration mainly came from my own experiences. I worked in corporate for 3 years and realized that I could not go on in life half living. I took a risk and decided to pursue film making 100%. Ever since,…
Found this old Vlog that I totally forgot to post! My life has been going way too fast for me to keep up on updating my website and doing vlogs. I’m sorry Chris Jackson! Don’t be angry. Lots of new projects in the pipeline. Stay tuned. In the meantime check out these sweet behind the scenes photos from our set “Assemble Your Team”.
It has been a blast. Being surrounded by creative people is probably one of the best things that has happened to me. Every day I wake up with a drive to make more content, to continue to improve, and to do what I love to do with other people who appreciate it as well. Being obsessed with what you love has it downsides though. I definitely have not explored California as much as I should. I find myself spending copious amounts of time at my friend’s house, editing or filming. Last week though, I was able to go to…
Last week has been insane. I am finally posting the videos taken during the LA Weekly Envelope event, when I got to see stars from True Blood, Dexter, etc. I have taken up yet another random job (editing). And I went location scouting, filmed 2 commercial specs, and have almost finished editing everything… zp8497586rq
It has been a magnificent week. So magnificent that I have not had any time to update my blog. My list of random jobs has increased once again, as I am now an editor for an educational video series, a line producer for “A Guy Walks into a Bar Season 2”. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to meet Cameron Crowe, the director of “Almost Famous”, personally, as well as sit in on his interview with my supervisor. I have more footage to come, more pictures from projects that I am involved with. I definitely fit in here and I…
Today is my first day at Fox. I am so glad that I did this. My parents may never be happy for me, but I know I deserve the chance to try and go for what I love to do. Mom and dad, I love you, but this is for me and NO ONE can take it away from me.
Surviving in LA!
The first few days of Los Angeles have been fun. LA welcomed me with open arms by showing me how difficult it is to park anywhere without getting a ticket. There is an interesting vibe in this city. Never have I been surrounded with so much art/entertainment based content. From street signs that say “Rent for Parking or Filming” to film sets, and crashing my friend’s Memorial Day party (filled with Actors, Writers, etc)… it has been an entertainment industry overload. This environment is inspiring, yet overwhelming at the same time. I feel so thankful to be surrounded by so…
