The Same Four Chords

All it takes is four chords to make the same pop song over and over again. Nothing new there. But wow does Axis of Awesome make it sound great.

INFLUENCERS

INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.

The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.

Written and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture.

"Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.

A Line Describing The Sun (Excerpt)

A Line Describing The Sun (Excerpt)



A Line Describing the Sun involved a day long performance in which I followed the path of the sun with a large Fresnel lens mounted on a rolling apparatus. The lens focuses the sun into a 1,600-degree point of light that melts the dry mud, transforming it into a black glassy substance. Over the course of a day, as the sun moves across the sky, a hemispherical arc is imprinted into the lakebed floor.

Camera, Camera

A trailer for the feature documentary CAMERA, CAMERA. cameracamerafilm.com

Westerners young and old arrive in Laos, and so do their cameras. They document a fragile and deceptively brutal world, revealing themselves in the process. CAMERA, CAMERA quietly calls upon viewers to ponder the multifaceted and often ambiguous impacts of travel and photography on citizens of two worlds.

Directed by Malcolm Murray. Written by Michael Meyer. Produced by Josh Haner.

San Quentin Film School

I recently stumbled upon this Discovery series which was created by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, the director/producers behind Brother’s Keeper and the Paradise Lost films.

A wonderful concept and it’s beautifully shot, proving that beautiful cinematography and wonderful story telling do have a place on TV and in the documentary/journalism world.

Zoo

Zoo - If Terrence Malick and David Lynch were morphed into one person and made a documentary film about zoophiles -- ZOO would be it. Some of the most amazing cinematography and visuals I've seen in a long time. Cinematic eye candy and a revolution in doc-film making.

Michel Gondry is still the king of the one take.

Summer of 1994

When I was 13 I spent a summer at Phillips Exeter Academy.

As these documents show, I must have 1) told my brother never to go in my room when I wasn't there and 2) that my photography teacher didn't like my style very much.
