This week, the Blu-Ray of the feature THE DARKEST HOUR comes out, and I&#8217;ve got a ten minute short film sequel in the special features of the release.  The Darkest Hour, directed by Chris Gorak, written by Prometheus screenwriter Jon Spaihts, and produced by Timur Bekmambetov, tells the story of Earth being invaded by mysterious aliens made of electricity.  The feature takes place in Moscow; my short takes place weeks after the end of that story, and takes us around the world, from The US to Afghanistan to Tokyo, as the survivors of the apocalypse learn to communicate with one another and try to fight back against the invaders.
The project was an awesome opportunity for me to work with heavy special effects and to create a fast moving, apocalyptic frenzy.  There&#8217;s a very cool review of the short in this review of the blu-ray at comics bulletin. ...]]></description>

Working with FOX and New Regency, I directed a fictional documentary set in the world of Andrew Niccol&#8217;s science fiction feature IN TIME about a world where time has become the currency in a population of the ageless.  Posing as a kind of Michael Moore like character from the future, I set about making a socio-political investigative piece of agit prop spinning around the proposition &#8220;For a few to be immortal, many must die.&#8221;

The piece takes place before the start of the feature, and catches most of the main characters in fast, intrusive-styled interviews.  Justin Timberlake, as Will, barely has time to stop running while we talk.  Cillian Murphy, as a cop, treats me as though he&#8217;d rather see me shot than ask any more questions.  Amanda Seyfried, Vincent Kartheiser, and Mathew Bomer also star.

A 4-minute version hit the web as the feature hit theaters.  ...]]></description>

&#8220;Jerkin&#8221; is a hip-hop subculture that originated in Los Angeles and spread throughout the world.  It had encompassed fashion, music, dance, and a DIY ethic that has motivated thousands of teenagers to produce tracks, shoot videos, and invent moves straight out of their backyards.  I directed and co-produced a 15 part series called JERK ALL-STARS, sponsored by Sprite and distributed by Mysapce.  The show was one part documentary and one part street-level dance competition, and it brought me full force into a subculture that was exploding in the streets of Watts, Long Beach, and Hollywood.

We got into the origins of  the dougie, hung out with The Rejectz when they performed Cat Daddy, captured 19 year old producing genius J-Hawk in his home studio, saw Indigo Vanity on set on a colorful music video shoot, and pitted the best jerk crews in the country against one another in a vicious pit ...]]></description>

Award winning comic book writer and psychedelic baddass Grant Morrison is giving me a script for what might be one of the most insane American movies in a decade.  SINATORO is a psychedelic science fiction revenge thriller set in a landscape made of American pop culture nightmares.  Grant and I have been looking for years to do a project together. When he pitched this thing to me I had pick pieces of my blown mind up off the floor before saying, enthusiastically, FUCK YEAH LET&#8217;S DO THIS.  I&#8217;ve pretty much ALWAYS wanted to direct a Morrison story.
Zdonk is producing.  Watch this space for more info and check out sinatoro.com for more.

This thing will eat your face and pick its teeth with your soul.  I recently submitted the rough draft for my first writer/director FEATURE assignment project. And I worked with a genius monster creator who made this concept design.  I can&#8217;t yet announce what the project is, and I can&#8217;t yet disclose who this artist is, but I can wrap it all up with a big old FUCK YEAH.

2009 was a year spent deep in development. I contacted novelists, comic book writers, screenwriters and artists, looking to find material or develop stories from scratch with a multitude of collaborators.  I had many amazing writers agree to work with me, to adapt scripts for me, or to give me access to their work.

2010 is churning towards payoff.
This year I began outlining my first commissioned script, paid for by a company that intends to have me direct the film as soon as this very summer..  I  have received drafts of screenplays from several of the authors I found last year.  Artwork for a graphic novel has rolled in.  All of these projects will soon be announced in one form or another.  I have just finished a massive website redesign, and it will be here that I will soon be posting a veritable clusterfuck of exciting news.
Until then, I remained cloistered ...]]></description>

For the past several weeks I have been collaborating with Donovan Leitch, Ken Roht, and Lanny Cordola on a &#8220;GYPSY-GLAM&#8221; rock musical called DARK ROOT OF THE DREAM. Donovan and Lanny wrote it, Donovan stars, Ken directed and co-stars, and I have created Video design to be projected throughout the performance. This included shooting/directing several small shoots with the actors, as well as experimenting with all sorts of visual alchemy combining motion graphics and effects.
The surrealist musical is about MR. E, &#8220;superstar-provocateur of rock and other media, who happens to be the guilt-ridden fictional son of the novelist Virginia Woolf.&#8221; As described in flavorwire &#8220;The oddity of Mr. E&#8217;s lineage sets up for an absurd case of identity crisis. His motherÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s troubling suicide unwittingly forces Mr. E to delve into deep, dark literary caverns. These caverns have him convinced that he is the alter ego of everyone from Friedrich Nietzsche ...]]></description>

Europeans, mark your calendars. The FULL LENGTH film I have made with + about the No-Neck Blues band, &#8220;AT 6AM WE BECOME THE POLICE,&#8221; will have it&#8217;s premiere screening at the BOZAR CINEMA, a part of the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Belgium, on May 5th 2009. I will be attending the screening, along with the entire band who will also perform a set. I am so excited to be showing the film at such a beautiful place. The film has finally come together from so many different pieces to become a cohesievely-incohesive psychedelic late night head-fryer. We hope to be adding more dates around that time as well. Stay tuned for more info.
