LAKE // Perfect Fit 

I directed a music video for the band LAKE.

And then some people said nice things about it: CMJ, SPIN and Stereogum:

"LAKE put out their record The World Is Real earlier this year, and now their video for the track “Perfect Fit” finds the duo in a slightly surreal domestic mode. They’re doing pretty standard things — washing dishes, hanging up clothes, making breakfast — but everything is amplified to massive quantity. They’re folding clothes into piles taller than them, washing more dishes that most people own, and so on. If for no other reason, you should watch it simply for that massive amount of pancakes pictured above."




LAKE // Work With What You Got

Made another video for my favorite Pacific Northwest band. Read about it at Tiny Mix Tapes.



Eros and the Eschaton // Rxx

This was fun to make. She Shreds Magazine says its "a rad basement costume party that’s only getting started."

DM Stith // Amylette

Worked with DM Stith on this beautiful and mysterious video (album review at The Guardian). Also on DIY Magazine.



Ashely Eriksson // Sunset

I made another music video! This time I got to work with the lovely Ashley Eriksson and then Rookie Mag interviewed her about our collaboration.



Kelly Jones // Right Hand Man


Half-Handed Cloud // Sensei Says
