The End of the World Party (zombie-comedy short film)

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:

Timelapses – Hidden Harvest Moon

Clolorful clouds blocked the sky in nearly all directions on the evening of the harvest moon. Check out timelapses and stills from it.

I give it at least a 10% chance there is a couple making out behind the lighthouse.

I was at the other end of the park (without a camera) pouting about not seeing the moon when the clouds light up a bright reddish color. This was the very end of it.

A party boat made these ripples. I thought for sure they were going to boat over and heckle me, so I put on my invisibility-cape.

Hot Summer Night – Photographs

On a hot summer night this Sunday, I visited beautiful Grant Park for the first time in years. Photos are from Grant Park’s Seven Bridges, hidden beach, golf course, and more. Don’t leave summer!

Scared all the Sunday golfers away for a moment…

Crossing… Lake Michigan in the background with a stream running into the park in the foreground.

I want to make this my summer cottage…
