night of 1000 laughs

Though shot over a single week way back in 2005 on a DVX100, Matt's first doc feature wasn't actually ​completed until 2013.  The film is a minimalist meditation on comedy and friendship.  While it spends time in some pretty dark territory, there is an intense humanism that shines through.

night of 1000 laughs is still screening and will be available soon to view online.  Like the facebook page to keep up with all the latest.​

Nick Budabin's doc about the #1 city for high school basketball and gun violence has been a labor of love and loss.  It's been an honor to spend time in these troubled but resilient communities and to help bring these important stories to the screen.​

Chitown is continuing to shoot into 2013.  Find out more at the film's facebook page.​

We learn the most when we take on new challenges and seek out projects that require a unique approach.  A few really exciting new pieces are in various stages of production.

In the meantime, have a look at this fashion piece for Kelly Bergin that was a team-up with the artist and photographer Glynnis McDaris:​

Or check out some old stuff like this trailer for the amazing rooftop films that I did with Ryan McFaul and Lothar Osterburg:​

These are a few favorites from the vast batch of comedy shorts cranked out with old friends Will Carlough and Casimir Nozkowski.  That bottom row has stuff from the really early days when we were pretty much incapable of content that was safe for work.  Be advised.  The top row is from Will's fever dream of a web series, Paraphrase Theater.
