It’s been a little while since we’ve allowed you to take a gander into our heads…so here you go. This Farrell’s commercial is the first of a bunch of new projects that we will be launching over the summer.
We teamed up with an agency known as Studio 360 to produce this spot for Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour Restaurants to promote their 1st Annual Ice Cream Eating Contest.

Thanks to friend Eric Trine, I found this little gem from Louis CK.
It’s not very hobo related, unless you think of needing to pare down your things and stop complaining about everything. He’s right, people are impatient and complain about everything. And here I am, complaining about complainers. So we’re all in the group.
The blog header isn’t entirely accurate. Check out Eric’s blog for other great clips, photos and obscure stuff that he finds/buys.
I don’t intend to have all my posts be about someone else’s work but the The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus is one film I could not pass up telling you about. If you are a fan of film, you probably already know about this, for those who don’t troll around the Internet all day watching movie trailers, this one’s for you.
Directed by Terry Gilliam, the man who brought us Brazil, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and so on, brings us this new story about Dr. Parnassus and his traveling show, where he leads members of his audience through their imaginations. But Dr. Parnassus has a secret. 1,000 years ago he made a bet with the Devil for immortality and won, only to trade his immortality for youth to be with his one true love. But in order to make this trade he promises the Devil his first born child when he or she turns 16. It is now the present day and Dr. Parnassus’ daughter is almost 16 and he must find away to win back her freedom.

My favorite film maker, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, returns with his new movie “Micmac’s a Tire-Larigot”. Jean-Pierre is best known for his film “Amelie”. If this is the only movie that you have seen by the French director, you are all missing out.
Before Amelie he co-directed two movies with Marc Caro called “Delicatessen” and

November is no longer just the eleventh month of the year. It’s now more famously known as “Movember”. Men: grow your moustaches. Women: grow your moustaches, or draw one on. Go out, get a sponsor, raise some money to benefit prostate cancer research. Looking good has never been so good.

Officially the last film we shot in our attempt to shoot something every month this year, we have completed “The Man Date”.
Special thanks to all cast and crew, for their hard work on a long night of shooting and their patience in waiting for us to get this thing done. Coming in at a final budget of just under $200, I can safely say it is the most bang we’ve gotten for our buck…ever. We couldn’t have done that without all the help/donated time (which would really bring the final budget up over $2000), so make sure you watch and clap throughout the credits.

My friend Ron supplies me with constant hobo related goods on the Internet. His recent, a short film about a homeless James Bond, felt worthy of posting here…if only for the cans stored in the cardboard home and it’s subsequent collapse. Oops, I just gave away the ending.
Homeless James Bond – Watch more Funny Videos
I came across this short documentary while surfing at the laist.com. An interesting look into the lives of those “mobile homeless” down in Venice Beach, with some interesting interviews with the key players in fight against the RVs.
Not sure if you could really say I was the “star”, but I’m definitely the best. Directed by friend Isaac Rentz and produced by hobo Steve Buchanen, featuring me and a bunch other people partying with Red Stripe.
To follow up this post on the shoot I was a part of this June, I present the final product.
Matt Sullivan directed and edited, Johnny Walker provided music, Johnny Walker Comedy producing, Bri Smith as Guy in Car with Magic Harmonica, and me, as the homeless guy. Enjoy.
In LA’s most recent discovery of a ‘underground’ homeless encampment, CNN brings us underneath the 10 freeway in downtown Los Angeles where the homeless have found a very “Teenage Mutant Ninja” style homestead. Apparently, 10 homeless people made this their living quarters, but it looks like many more could.

Last Saturday we premiered our first video that we’ve completed this year under our monthly experiments. Our goal for the month of April was to create a promotional video for the Orange County Breast Cancer Fundraiser event, and that’s just what we did. The video showed at the event, with emotional and monetary response (I hope).
Recently myself and some friends went up to beautiful Oakhurst, CA so that I could (possibly) purchase a 1974 Ford Bronco from Matt Wignall’s dad.
In addition to buying manly cars, we went flyfishing, shot guns, panned for gold, drank beer, smoked cigars, and — since we were there with Master Corn Bomber Paul Wignall — we got a first hand introduction to the wonderful world of Corn Bombs.
Here’s the video:
Just a little tease about what I’ve been working on for the last 8 months. Where the Wild Things Are, with Spike Jonze.
