Crashed Pilot Concept Shoot


So very proud of THIS SHOOT. Justin (photog), Mallory (model) and I woke up at dawn to get Mal all messy, then trekked out into the far reaches of her hometown (about 5 minutes from the Coachella grounds, for a point of reference) to snap these shots. Ultimately we wound up in a semi-deserted area of a golf course - quite nearly got kicked off our spot by the groundskeeper, but Justin is a genius at those types of situations and quickly "school project"-ed our way into a permit. After we got back to Mal's place and napped a bit, Justin pushed for another round of shots which you can see right HERE. I was definitely not feeling up for more shooting when we got rolling on these, but I'm so glad he insisted: the shots of Mal in that amazing dangling chair thing are incredible.

I've got a pile of headshots from today's video casting to go through and a bucket of US invite-emails to send...back to work!

Update from NoHo:

This month has been wild, I tell ya! Wild!

As soon as I got back from NYC, I fell into a nearly full time fit modeling gig, which is still ongoing (and fantastic). Then booked a hair show with Wella. Work at SOL-LA Music Academy picked up, as we began planning a program of kids theatre presentations (with classical music incorporated) for next year, and I took over for their web designer. Add in rehearsals at UCLA, Hell & Lula returning from the road, and a sketch comedy video shoot, and you have a recipe for no sleep but loads of work-happiness.

I can only hope that this good fortune keeps on rolling. So lucky!

I'm exceptionally stoked for an upcoming video shoot for Hell & Lula's new song "The Quidam." The video concept is radical, and the team we've assembled to make it is unbelievable. I will be at the directing post this time around (yay!), with my buddy Patricio as DP. We're planning to roll into another video fairly soon after, with him in the director's chair; myself as creative/art director.

Action Scotty's in the living room, watching Peter Pan, whilst our other housemates soak in good tunes at Coachella. A part of me longs to be out in the desert with mad good music (and Rusty), but another is very grateful for this quiet day. I'll be out in the desert next weekend, wearing my stylist/MUA hat for a photo shoot with the amazing Justin Bettman & new Ford model, Mallory. So many hats!

Love
