  • music film // Bombay Beach : “Thee Mote”

    Allow us to present this music film we put together for our friends in Portland’s Bombay Beach. We used motion graphics, rephotographed footage and original footage to create this beast—we hope it only serves to make the band that much more mysterious than their music…

  • music film // Phinisey : “Something New”

    Seattle area producer and musical collaborator Phinisey is striking out on his own and releasing solo music—doing Something New…starting with this music film we created for him. We wanted him to exist in a dreamy blank slate miasma of color about to take shape into “Something New”—like the dawn of the universe or the morning sky. It’s Phinisey’s heartfelt delivery, though, that makes the visuals pop!

    First Night is always one of our favorite nights in Tacoma—downtown Tacoma is alive and kicking all night with amazing music, surprises around every corner, and a palpable, carnivalesque atmosphere. Here’s a little film we put together, putting the evening into a visual nutshell.

    What a way to celebrate…Happy New Year!

  • music film // Bombay Beach teaser

    We are collaborating with one of Portland’s most interesting music projects—Bombay Beach.  A trio composed of three thoughtful artists with wild abandon and serious chops.

  • epicurean film // Gun Bun x BUNK

    We took a day trip down to Portland, Oregon to catch up with Huichica Music Festival co-founder and Fruitbats frontman Eric D. Johnson and Portland’s famous BUNK Sandwiches chef Tommy Habetz.  The two talked endlessly about their mutual love for sandwiches and rock and roll—we managed to capture a few tidbits along with details on Tommy’s sandwich pairing with Gundlach Bundschu’s Mountain Cuvée wine at this year’s upcoming Huichica Music Festival.
