SMM & WIFF

_
Supermarket Musical Massacre is making its American debut at the Women's International Film & Arts Festival in Miami in just a few days. It's screening on Sat, Feb 28 2009, 7:30 pm at the Fontainebleau Hotel (which is presumably in Miami). SMM is actually the only Australian film showing at the festival which is a real honour for us. (You can find out more here.)

So if you happen to be in Miami on the 28th get on down and check it out! They never asked us to send over a screener tape so fingers crossed they'll use the DVD and there won't just be seven minutes of black screen when SMM is supposed to be showing.

A big thanks to everyone over at WIFF in Miami for their selection and interest in our film!

Bowerbirds - In Our Talons

A stunning video directed by Alan Poon from Canada. For me, this is how the best music videos should be. Not only is it visually stunning & well suited to the music, this video provokes an emotional response and left me feeling quite moved. Enjoy.

I can barely contain my excitement. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they do a good job with this. Check out the high quality versions here (it's worth it!).

Higher Quality Videos

Through the magic that is vimeo I've got some higher quality versions of the SMM & Neon Blue trailers, plus the promo Steph & I did for the JJJ comp. Enjoy:

Her Morning Elegance

Dave put me onto this last week. Awesome stuff, definitely some of the best pixilation I've seen.

Something Great - Stills & Credits

At long last Bianca Chen's "Something Great" video is nearing completion. To whet your appetites here's a few stills from the final video.












Perhaps more so than on any other project I've work on, this video was truly a team effort. This video would not exist without the help, advice, encouragement, and countless hours of work from a large number of people. To everyone involved, I cannot thank you enough. I enjoyed working with each and every person involved with the production. I was unbelievably lucky to have such an amazing and talented group of people to work with.
