Just lil’ old me, Jordan. Aka Grandpa Brady, aka Poppa Jordan – ranting about how American Airlines pushed my flght to the next day forcing me to miss giving my seminar at the University Film and Video Association. But I’ve salvaged the presentation for “Agency Collaboration” – a zoom workshop Wednesday, July 26th 2023 from 4pm to 6pm PDT. Join me, details here.

I also give my two cents on ageism… not a deep dive but a few good points raised. Now turn that music down!

Writer/Director Skinner Myers is an award-winning filmmaker and film professor at Loyola Marymount University. Skinner wrote and directed four short films: Chimera, The Last Supper, Obscured, and Nigger, while studying film at USC School of Cinematic Arts. I reached out to Skinner after seeing “The Sleeping Negro” at Slamdance 2021. “Confronted with a series of racially charged incidents, a young black man must overcome rage, alienation, and hopelessness in order to find his own humanity.”

The writer/director says he used a “narrative/experimental” approach to filmmaking.

Skinner and I talk filmmaking, his path to directing and how he made this film, of course. Then we venture into a very real discussion of racism in America, racial inequality, and more heavy stuff that needs to be discussed. I know you’ll appreciate Skinner’s POV.

Music Video Director June Bae and I sat outside, socially distanced, and chatted about helming hip hop videos and launching a commercial directing career. His latest video for Ameer Vann, for the rapper’s new ditty IDFIATOK, literally dropped today and has tens of thousands of views already. (PS it has bad words.) 

June is a talented filmmaker on the rise, his passion, journey and commitment to his craft is inspiring. Check out the spots we discuss and his work at SixTwentySix. Enjoy!

Filmmaker Norry Niven does it all. He directs tons of national spots (Kia) and major network promos for shows like “Homeland” which offer him such creative control and produces via his Thousand Foot Squid production company. His latest documentary, “Get Back Up”, follows Blue October and chronicles the band’s struggles with substance abuse, mental health, subsequent treatment and recovery.

Talking with Norry was a real treat, because we share a positive outlook and passion for making great work with cool people. I think you’ll hear it in our conversation. There’s also some talk of magic.
