sometimes the most simple looking sites are in fact the most complex.
i’m very pleased to have (mostly) completed the development for couchprojects.com, a site for a collections of books, video, research and installation work by Angie Waller, based on Angie’s original design and concept.
for easy backend administration we chose to work with Wordpress and while there were a ton of great functions built-in that made development save time, conceptually we were doing things that required a lot of original code (whose logic is still blowing my mind).
tag-based, transparent-category navigation with related tags that remember where you’re coming from, what you’ve clicked on, how you got there and what’s related to your personal click-trail…

can’t wait to see this film. hopefully in nyc. hopefully in theaters.

last week i had a pretty hilarious experience at Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind exhibition at the Deitch gallery here in NYC. it’s free and open to the public and if you’re in the neighborhood definitely check it out. Gondry seems to be there all the time too. of course i haven’t seen the movie yet…Gondry has recreated the video store in the gallery, complete with a back lot containing a variety of movie sets where visitors can make their own renditions of films. All videos created during the exhibition can be viewed in the gallery.
visit the be kind rewind exhibition website.
a lot’s been happening lately, both positive and not so much… on the positive end, i recently reconnected with a filmmaker friend from gradschool who called me in to help him light a small shoot he was doing, and i have to say that doing so was simply wonderful. the whole experience was an affirmation of the perspective i’ve taken on filmmaking lately and a further reaffirmation that making films is still a form of art. the most interesting part is that we’ve both come to this same conclusion.
