A VICTOR TEASE

Posted: April 24th, 2012 | Author: Hilton | Filed under: Film | No Comments »

So as most of you know, I just finished post on my latest short film, VICTOR. And in the process of cutting it, I got with the main character, Gomez, and he and I discussed the possibilities of turning this short film into a series of sorts. Well there wasn’t much to discuss. We’d be idiots not to. So with that said we start filming more and what I’m giving you here is a small taste of the series.

VICTOR follows the struggling comedian, Victor Price, as he tries to figure out his material and his life in general. Enjoy the start of something new!

Here is my amazing production designer, Dr. Andrea Choe, piecing together the cat in VICTOR. I sketch it. She makes it!

So I live with this monster named JULES. He’s nutz! He’s suicidal. He made it into the film.

Over the past 12 years I’ve worked with my friend JM on project after project and finally….TWINSHIPS! Twinships is a production company that he and I started in the winter of 2011 and we’re now gearing up for our first short film together titled ONE LAST RUN.  LET MAKE ART!!!

 


THE ART OF NICHOLAS COPE

Finally, after saving up the funds, I was able to purchase the first pieces of art that will caress the walls of my home gallery. These are the works of photographer Nicholas Cope.

Like my coffee, his art is dark and beautiful with a palette that makes you want to play a Philip Glass score while taking them in.


VICTOR!!!

Ok, so ONE LAST RUN was suppose to me by next short film, yes I know. But while I was in the fundraising process, I figured why not shoot something that wouldn’t take much to produce. So with that idea in my head, VICTOR came to life. On paper or should I say the computer screen. Either way, it had legs. Now, only a week away from principle photography, I am happy to say VICTOR is on its way. More details to come.

I won’t say much more but will leave you with a shot of the boards….


UP NEXT: ONE LAST RUN!!

Posted: September 16th, 2011 | Author: Hilton | Filed under: Film | No Comments »

So I’ve been laying low on the music videos and focusing entirely on my next shorts and the feature film that I’ve been writing. As director/writers, when someone ask “What have you been up to?”, the immediate and probably programmed response is most likely, “WRITING.” But we’re always in the process of writing something, so yes, in this case, thats what I’ve been up to.

Well when its “EXCLUSIVE“, thats when you know its supreme status. More like STADIUM STATUS!! This is the lead single off Quik’s new album THE BOOK OF DAVID and there’s not much I can say about it except its pure HEAT! I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with the LA legend and I hope this leads to us working together again. Our art isn’t complete yet!!

I’ll be posting the video to the site soon, but since REDBULL has exclusive privileges, I’ll leave you with a link to the redbull post!! I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to let me know your thoughts!
