My first try at documentaries

My friend Issac and I were recently asked to head a crew to film a documentary segment and public service announcement about the World March, a 3 month long walk around the world for global nuclear de-proliferation and nonviolence.

We set up at Stanley Sheinbaum's house, as he was hosting a fundraiser and get-together for some big-wigs in LA (Clooney cancelled last minute, but Haskell Wexler and the owner of Warner Bros showed up) in order to spread the word of the movement. Sheinbaum has had a hand in US politics for the last 4 decades, and has been extremely important in handlings of both the Vietnam War and relations with the Middle East.

Our budget was fairly tight, but we were still able to rent almost $10,000 worth of equipment. We interviewed the guests and shot some candid footage throughout the night, and captialized on the food that had been prepared by the professional chefs. Overall, a crazy, unforgettable experience.

The final documentary won't be out for a year or so, but look for the PSA to be posted on Proacktive in the near future.

Check out the World March site here, and look to march when the event is in your area.
I'm hoping to get some of the professional photos of Isaac and I up to show off our equipment...I'll get them sometime soon.

Dog Days of summer

Back in June, me and the guys took a weekend to go to Milwaukee and Chicago to see some baseball. This has always been my favorite thing to do in the summer, especially since the alternative would be to see Twins games at the Metrodome. Outdoor baseball is awesome as it is, but being at Miller Park and Wrigley Field - two of the most exciting stadiums to see a game in - certainly made it a trip to remember.

A Glimpse of Hong Kong

This trip was amazing...9 days of doing things I have never (for the most part) done before in a place I had never been in. Best spring break of my life.

Charles Hamilton - Overseas Freestyle

I don't get this dude...he can obviously rhyme, and has a good flow, but he hasn't come out with a single thing worth listening to since brooklyn girls...i still have high hopes for him, but he should look at what has worked and what hasn't...nevertheless this is decent.

Supreme x Nike SB - Bruin Collection

Supreme’s latest installment with Nike...the lesser known Bruin model done up in an SB base. Supreme uses suede/leather metallic colorways to spruce them up...and the finished product is really dope.
