Milwaukee Film, Video, & Photography
A beautiful spring Saturday during Bucks game 4 in Milwaukee.
On Harp’s patio after the game. Ran into Nick and his beard.

I directed a fun little zombie-comedy short film called “The End of the World Party.” Starring Nick Sommer and WC Tank on a blustery Halloween day at Grant Park in South Milwaukee.
Doing ADR with actor/co-writer/costumer Nick Sommer on a beautiful fall day (recording zombie voices and re-recording a couple of Nick’s lines — 15-30mph of wind on the day we shot).
A short video and photos of the beautiful sunrise overlooking Lake Michigan before the shoot.
Grant Park is an incredibly gorgeous park that I don’t visit enough. A visit there in late August got me thinking about shooting a film there.
Especially this photo:
Some more photos from that August trip:
Working on doing some screen printed shirts with my friend Nick Sommer. Check out some initial mock-ups below.
Nick and his now fiance lived in Los Angeles for a year, then moved back to Milwaukee last summer. Nick made the off-hand comment that they summer in Milwaukee. I thought that was funny as with the fests, beaches, and everything happening in the summer, nothing beats Milwaukee for those 3 months.
That idea turned into the design below.

Below are some of the random recent works I’ve done (for fun and work).
Quick shot I took of Nick after a writing session together at his place.

I listened to Patrice O’neal’s stand-up special ‘Elephant in the Room’ and couldn’t get this image he described out of my head.
A slamon dipped-in-honey can cheerfully walk into the office where they work with grizzly bears, since the bears will get fired if they do anything to the honey-salmon.

Skate Skull is a thrash-proof skateboard mount for GoPro Hero 3/3+ & 4. Tough magnesium-alloy protects GoPro, even when mounted underneath your deck.
I came up with it when I wanted to get the underneath-the skateboard angle in the video below (skater Nick Sommer uses the prototype).
We will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the very near future (check back for updates)! And check out Skate Skull in full-fledged action in the skate-film I directed below.
