I just got back from the SXSW Film Festival, where I was shooting interviews for Jesse Thorn on behalf of his radio show, The Sound of Young America, as well as Philips Cinema. This is the first of the short interviews we did for Philips. David Wilson is the director of a beautiful short documentary that showed at the festival called Big Birding Day.

I’m sure many of us remember the scene in the clip above from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and may even have been in a classroom or two just like this. Students are disengaged at school for a number of reasons – but my present concern is disengagement in the form of Senioritis.

So I’m in LA for a few days and had a break in meetings to go visit my homie Jameel Saleem’s set for a horror film he’s co-directing called “Fear Not”. The house they are shooting in was indeed scary. I don’t think they could’ve paid me to go down in the basement, based on the footage I saw. This cat stays hustling, which is the reason he’s been a repeat guest on The Double Down Film Show. Check out more of his work HERE!

Comedian and joke-musician Reggie Watts has a new music video co-directed by a friend of mine, Duncan Skiles! It’s very excellent.

Shout out to the cast and crew for another great day of shooting. We got it in! Special thanks to Iva and Mike on the location. It was a northeast monsoon and they were gracious enough to let us do our little webisode business in their beautiful space. Peep cinematographer Leyla Rosario’s BLOG for more images!

I’m into Day 3 at SXSW 2010 (aka South by Southwest) and I’m a little bit of everything. Excited, motivated, tired, but most of all, I’ve seen some great films…
