I must take a moment to acknowledge the blog panel I participated in for the Royal Flush film festival over the weekend and give props to the veteran bloggers seated in the uncomfortable directors chairs with me. Who sits in those things anymore? I nearly collapsed mine. [L-R, yours truly, Brandon Harris, Heidi Macdonald, Michael K, John Holmstrom. Photo by Lindsay Buckley.] The panel was moderated by John Holmstrom, founder & editor of PUNK Magazine. His blog JohnHolmstrom.com is hand written. Brilliant. I think he should enable comments though. Heidi MacDonald, editor of Publisher Weekly's, The Beat was there representing... MORE »

Timothy Saccenti (Part 2)

Filed under: Introductions, The Intersection
Yesterday I put up some video work by director/photographer Timothy Saccenti, if you haven't seen it take a look. He's an artist of great depth and though he'll lament how poor our internet bandwidth is and is fully on the digital cutting edge, his roots lay in darkrooms, covered in emulsion, with silver halide sprinkles. He's working on a ton of stuff, and has his sights on a feature film, which I hope to have more on in the future. Here's most of what we chatted about the day his new video for Chairlift came out.

Timothy Saccenti (part 1)

Timothy Saccenti is a photographer and director who's been doing some impressive, meticulous work in the music word. His beginnings in photography have lead him down a path crowded with artists like TV on the Radio, Erykah Badu, The Rapture, Grandmaster flash, and Black Mountain. Directing music videos was a natural turn for Saccenti and though he may still be a photographer at heart, he's been extra alluring lately with his motion work. His videos for Jamie Lidell's "Another Day" and Battles' "Atlas" are the fantastical works of an artist who has both clear vision and technical mastery at his... MORE »
Music Supervisor: Tracy McKnight

Tracy McKnight was not aware of the job of music supervisor when she set out to find her way in the world. She thought she'd eventually work in fashion or cosmetics, perhaps something she dreamed of at 30,000 feet while working as flight attendant. Instead, she landed a job at a NY recording studio as the night manager during college and it set her on a career path in the music industry. The thrill is still evident in her voice when she talks about it. (Left: Lisa P. first struts on screen to the Rolling Stones in "Adventureland," Miramax films)... MORE »
"hello, my friends come on, have a seat"
By Brandon Kim on 05/04/2009
Filed under: Introductions
I came into this world a surprise to a Father who, after 4 kids with his first loving wife, had "fixed" himself, literally. An old school doctor, legend has it he did it one morning in the bathroom at home. Turns out my Mother, though not even very religious, had been praying for a miracle knowing full well of her husband's medical status and surgical dexterity. A biological mistake or divine intervention I cannot say, but one late afternoon in the mid 70's, I was born to a Korean Father and an Italian Mother with "Nights In White Satin" playing... MORE »
