(GENE WOLFE’S “AN EVIL GUEST”)

Perhaps the better question is why haven’t I bought and read this yet? The answer: oh I will, and you should too. It’s a novel set 100 years in the future, but written with the diction and characterization of the old film noir era. For lovers of pulp fiction (not the Samuel L. Jackson kind) mixed with some Blade Runner meets H.P. Lovecraft-style sci-fi, this book promises to deliver.

Let’s all buy a copy and rejoice in its wonder together (I mean, it’s GOT to be great, right? It’s Mr. Wolfe after all).

This isn’t the newest video, but perhaps slightly overlooked. My friend Rian Johnson directed this mind-bending clip. There are no post visual effects, no slick compositing. All of this was done in-camera.

Here is a music video I co-curated with Bran Dougherty-Johnson from PSST!. We came up with the idea of having 7 teams participate in interpreting sections of the song. The results were unexpected and fun to see come together.
