Bastille Days in Milwaukee

Bastille Days in East Town on Thursday July 13. Perfect not out for the party and Storm the Bastille 5km run.

Video clip while in the middle of the huge crowd at the start of the run.

Perfect weather and nice people when someone leaves the top down on their classic car.

This runner h*a*s a beer…
…clearly needs another for his other hand though.

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:

Bay View Bash

Went to the Bay View Bash last weekend with some friends. It’s a crazy popular street fest on the Southside of Milwaukee.

While in-line to buy beer tickets, my very intelligent friend trying to sneakily take a picture while my camera was slung on my shoulder. He didn’t turn the auto-focus on.
