LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS (TRAILER)

play

LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS tells the story of Olga, a hearing-impaired teenager from Central America lured to New York City under the false pretense of attending a sign language school. Once there, she finds herself forced to spend everyday alongside other deaf Central Americans on the NYC subways, peddling trinkets in an elaborate scheme run by an international crime ring. Under threat to her life and her family’s back home, escaping an existence of servitude appears all but impossible.

HOFBRÄUHAUS MÜNCHEN

play

A little homage to those Bavarian Heidi films they used to show on late night German TV. Boerleider had his lederhosen outfit, so we got ourselves an old man, a blond, some beer and some sausages. Did it in the woods in less than 3 hours. Perfect Bier Commercial.

What is the woman saying at the end?   ‘Better Than Your Wildest Dreams’

THUNDERHEIST “DRIVE IN” (DROP THE LIME REMIX)

play

The Bacardi people in London hired us to follow around our friends Isis (previously of Thunderheist) and Drop The Lime for a week during the cold NY winter. Behind the scenes stuff showing them just being themselves, how they work, etc. And then they hit us with the “can you make a music video real quick too? Tomorrow? Before we go back to London?” Luckily it snowed and we could make a thin story line at least look pretty.

WeSC’s The Making Of… (Italia Sporco)

play
Earlier this summer, my friends at WeSC asked me if I’d be interested in making some films documenting the craft and hard-work put into making some of their products. The first film would be in Italy, where they make their shoes, more or less by hand. We’d need to travel to the factories way down in the heel of the boot, to the towns surrounding Lecce in the Apulia region. more…
