Self Portrait, September 2014.

Self Portrait, Aug. 2014 

A couple screenshots for my new music video for WRONGCHILDE. It’s gonna be madness!

No particular source, it’s really based on the mood & feeling the song creates in me & then I try to visually represent it. Also, I didn’t realize I had a bunch of questions since I never check this section on my tumblr, so I will get to the rest soon :) 

Peter Greenaway comes to mind first. If I had to name three films that influenced me the most, his film "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover"  would be one. "Lesser known" is also pretty abstract to me, you mean less mainstream or avant garde? Once again, hundreds of directors could fall into this category: Jiri Barta, Veit Helmer, Maya Deren, Luca Guadagnino, Jan Svankmajer, Lance Hammer, Zuwalski, Yorgos Lanthimos, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Lynne Ramsay, Bobcat Goldthwait, etc (i misspelled a bunch of those). There are too many, that's just off the top of my head & those are feature film directors :) 

Phone number to the moon? Latitude/longitude to a lost treasure? A robot fucking with me? Most likely. Why so anonymous? 

The music video I directed for Niceland a few years ago is being re-released in color. Here are a few screenshots, the full video will be out this week. Technicolor galore!
