YEAR END ’21 | DECEMBER 2021
2021 has been a crazy fun year filled with way too many Zoom calls and my first international travel since Covid. Closed out last year with a Guiness World Record for the Twenty One Pilots NeverEnding Music Video. Some highlights of 2021 – Started off the year with the car launch for Mitsubishi that was live from a driveway. Then after 8 months of work, unveileved Post Malone x Pokemon concert in March – all while planning the Twenty One Pilots Livestream Experience that premiered in May. Worked with Pink Sweat$ and LG on some insanely infectious spots for OLED an scared people in London for Call of Duty. Neck deep in development on a few massive projects. Partnered with my friends at M ss ng P eces. Finalizing several groundbreaking NFT projects. Wrote a few articles – ‘Why NFTs are the Future‘ and ‘The Past, Present and Future of the Metaverse(s).’ My writing partner, Nate Atkins and I finished our 5th and 6th script together – making it 3 feature films that are in various stages of casting or pre-production. 2022 has no signs of slowing down, so I am grateful and excited. Thanks for following along and have a fantastic holiday.
TWENTY ONE PILOTS LIVESTREAM EXPERIENCE | MAY 2021
For the past five months, I’ve been working on something really special with Twenty One Pilots – the Scaled and Icy Livestream Experience. Last Friday night, after weeks of rehearsals, we debuted the performance to the world. The show spanned almost the entire discography and included a narrative and deep dive into the existing Twenty One Pilots mythology. NME gave it 5 stars and the fans loved every second of the 60 minute performance..
POKEMON + POST MALONE | FEBRUARY 2021
For the last eight months, I have been working on a next-gen, animated virtual concert for Pokemon featuring the highly talented Post Malone. It’s been amazing pulling this together with so many talented artists all over the world. On February 27th, 2021, Post Malone played Pokemon’s P25 music festival. Check it out.
END OF THE YEAR | DECEMBER 2020
Well, 2020 has been a year like nothing else. It completely transformed the way most of us work and how we interact with each other. This year allowed me to get back to a lot of the type of work that makes me happiest – innovative storytelling. So it was fitting that, 9 years later, we created a sequel to Take This Lollipop. Simply titled LOLLIPOP, the project has been seen by more than 100 million people across TikTok, YouTube, and takethislollipop.com. I am incredibly humbled and excited to start 2021 with some big news. Stay safe and wear a mask!
LEVEL OF CONCERN | JUNE 2020
When life throws a pandemic at you, what the logical thing to do? Create a really entertaining and eleborate campaign for the band Twenty One Pilots, including a never-been-done, never-ending music video. Some great write ups from AdAge, Billboard, Variety, Muse by Clio.
BIG CHANGES AHEAD | APRIL 2020
Incredibly big changes are happening. The world is in the midst of dealing with a global pandemic. Business has grinded to a halt. It’s certainly a time of uncertainty. Somehow, I am feeling more creatively alive than I ever have. I was inspired to write an article called, ‘The Age of Virtual Production‘. With physical production most likely halted to at least June or July, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get creative. Hope you are all well. Be safe. Stay indoors. ✌️
FALL IS ON | OCTOBER 2019
It’s been a fun year so far, and lots of new stuff to announce before the year is over. So a few updates… It’s been one year since Project Dead Zone, and it just won Best in Show at the Media Post Awards. Just wrapped a few projects that should be launching soon. Shot a music video in Hawaii this summer. Wrote a cathardic article about my history with intreactive and non-linear storytelling entitled ‘A long, strange trip of non-traditional storytelling and the stories amassed along the way.‘
TOUR DE FRANCE | JULY 2019
I recently directed a really incredible campaign for Zwift and Hecho Studios. We shot in London with a plethora of incredible athletes including Geraint Thomas, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Jan Frodeno. If you tune into the Tour de France, you will see the dozens of idents and sponorship spots we shot as well.
