New White Elephant Logo Premieres with "The Stakes"!

Some of you may or may not know this... But for all of my official film work (projects that I conceived, shot and/or helped create) have been flown under the banner of "White Elephant."

"White Elephant" is the name of my official film production company. It is a name I became attached to about 18 months ago, prior to the release of my short silent film, "HOME." That was the first film project of mine to use the moniker and I have since used it on all other projects that I believed fit the criteria.

With the "The Stakes" officially premiering next week on July 12th, I saw fit to update the "White Elephant" logo and turned to my good friend Will Massanet of Steryo Type Clothing to help modernize the brand. And after much debate between a handful of very cool new choices, I settled on the logo that I felt had the most potential and not only modernized the brand, but also made it memorable. 

Behold and feast your eyes on the new face of "White Elephant" Films.

500 Plays In Two Days

I'm writing tonight from Macon, Georgia, where I filmed the extier shots for Home. I'm down here to celebrate my gultiest pleasure...Wrestlemania! The shit is going down in Atlanta all weekend and, lucky for me, my wonderful fiancé goes to school in Macon, a quick drive down the road from the ATL.

In other news, myself and OPTION//CONTROL released the video for Saw Her There on Wednesday to great success! The video is quickly rising on YouTube and has received 500 plays in just 48 hours!

I have another version of the video, with a different ending, that I am considering releasing in a few weeks. Until then, please keep watching it here and on YouTube!

If you or a band you know is interested in making a great looking video like this...for an affordable price, please contact me today!

Until next time...I'm gonna' be getting my "mark" on at 'maina.

"Home" Is Now Online!

I'm really excited to announce that "Home," my silent film project for UMSL, is now streaming online at YouTube and Vimeo!

I have the day off of work today and I am planning on spending every minute of it working on the OPTION//CONTROL video for "Saw Her There." From the small clips that I have already put together, it is promising to be an awesome music video!

Also, we are one week away from my stage directorial debut! The Vagina Monologues: "Any One of Us" will be performed next Thursday and Friday (March 10th and 11th) at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis Pilot House (inside of the Millennium Student Center).
