KILO a short film

KILO

my first short film. shot on location at the FOX studios in Sydney, Australia.

thanks AFTRS for all your guidance, and to the crew.

We shot this in 3 hours.

Written, directed and edited by little me.

Enjoy.

i heart fun

The holidays are upon us, the cold nipping at our toes and nose and I dream of longboarding in Mexico shortly. In the meantime, I am editing my address book, sending out holiday cards, hastily billing before the close of 2011 and eating too much chocolate that came wrapped in bubble wrap and love.

I wish you all a holiday and new year this year filled with something very simple. FUN!

We all travel so much, time with family, long lines, internet crashes, and hazy mornings from laughter and red table wine from the winter wishes the previous night.

While I wish you all health and happiness, thats all fine and well. What I really wish everyone I know and love is...FUN! We only have now, to do what makes us laugh, tell someone we love them, smile from ear to ear.

Be in the moment and enjoy every second. Winter wishes and love to you all!

Family Ties: Anthology Magazine

hi. I heart Anthology Magazine.

Here are some off shoots from the article on Herriott Grace as it is one of my favorite shoots this past year. Find it in Issue No. 3. For those of you who haven’t read the article, I won’t spoil it, but I’ll just say that it’s wonderful to learn about a family business founded on the purity of raw materials and the capable hands of a skilled craftsman—the buttermilk cake recipe is a sweet little bonus, too.

I just adored Nikole Herriott and her father Lance at the Herriott’s farm on Vancouver Island.

New Film! crafting a meaningful home

I am so excited to share my first film! That is not a stop motion...
This little film is a promotion piece on the book called Crafting a Meaningful Home.

Shot on location in San Francisco & New York City, all shot by me on the 5DMarkII.

Feel free to contact my studio or DS REPS if you have projects in mind.
We are happy to help.

Edited by the lovely Arvid Eriksson. Its is a pretty funny story. While researching editors I fell in love with the last movie Toast did in the Greek Islands and contacted the editor of the film. He lives in New Zealand! My business manager was leaving the next day on a trip to her hometown and lo and behold, Arvid lived in that same town she grew up in. Strange small world we live, Jenn was able to hand deliver it and say hello. I love working with people halfway across the world on projects via skype. Always keeps things interesting.

Here's some info on the book if you have not seen it in stores yet.

"Crafting a Meaningful Home goes beyond traditional DIY books to tell the family stories behind each person’s craft project. From braided rag vessels and rugs to flags and gilded lamps, each project not only introduces you to a new person and their crafty skills but also lets you get to know them through a family tradition. I really love this spin on DIY and think it’s so meaningful to hear the reasons why certain artists make the things they make. I, for one, loved hearing about Joy’s early aversion to the color gold (because of how often it’s used in her family’s native Thailand) and how a trip to Thailand in 1999 made her finally fall in love with it. I can’t imagine Joy not loving metallics, so it was fun to get that little tidbit about her earlier design tastes. Meg’s book is full of great stories like that, not to mention tips for turning your own family’s traditions into a project for your home".

"Print is not Dead" my new stop motion film!

Oh, my! We actually got a quote from a viewer on Vimeo that said:

"What a lovely thing to see on a Monday morning, this is truly swoon worthy."

Check out my new stop motion trailer launching the new home & lifestyle print magazine Anthology Magazine "Print Is Not Dead,". Inaugural issue comes out in October 2010.

Special thanks to Maren, Brian, Anthony, Marcus, Brynn, Yael and Robin!
