After School Specialists Do It Again

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Hey, alright! The After School Specialists recently created another short film for Dogfish Head Ale entitled “Fruitcake” (for the 2008 Off-Centered Film Festival); this year the theme was “underdogs”. While we didn’t get first place this time, we did get an honorable mention and our film will be screened down in Austin, TX in the beginning of April at the Lake Creek branch of the Alamo Drafthouse (I’ve actually been to one of the ADHs and they are AWESOME…would be nice to have something like that up in the northeast). I’m guessing that video will be up on the site for viewing in near future (or at least on YouTube) - I was really only responsible for the music this time around since the filming happened during a particularly hectic period! Anyway, if you happen to be in town, go check it out (the poster and link is below) - if not, stay tuned for the posting of the video soon…

Zombie Movie Up On YouTube

Friday, November 16th, 2007

OK, the Zombie short-film I did with the After School Specialists is now up on YouTube and can be seen by clicking here. You’ll hear my music throughout, and also see cameos by some of your favorite Hulihees - Todd Marrone, Russell Gellman, and Ron Foligno. I’m also in there as a one-armed zombie, but only for a quick flash in the middle during the “gauntlet” scene (the second zombie that the main character avoids - right after the bloody nurse zombie) - and then again during the end title (seen below - I’m all the way to the left).

This is the film that won us 1st place in the Dogfish Head competition - great stuff!

After School Specialists in Rehoboth

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

So, we (The After School Specialists) just got back from our trip to the Rehoboth Film Festival this weekend in Rehoboth, DE - where we got to see our award winning film “Dogfish Head Day Afternoon Of The Dead” on the big screen! It was a very cool thing to hear my music out loud in a commercial movie theater, and hopefully that’ll be the first time of many. The audience reaction was fantastic, and we were really treated very well - I hope we win first place more often! We had a big entourage with us, and spent last night hanging out with Dogfish Head owner Sam Calagione (who bought us a few pitchers of the 60-Minute IPA…marvelous!) - who I’m happy to report is a fantastic and down to Earth guy, and who should be fervently supported - and various other directors, producers, writers, and actors (there was a lot of “hey, wasn’t the guy from…”).It was great weekend and reward for a lot of hard work, and more than that, a catalyst to keep doing these kinds of things. A few new A.S.S. projects are in the works - stay tuned!

Also - the movie will soon be available on the Dofish Head website - I will of course post again when you can view it.

Whoop!

My video troupe the After School Specialists just won another contest - this time a short film for Dogfish Head Ale, which means that the film will be shown as part of the 10th Annual Rehoboth Beach Film Festival. It will also then appear on the Dogfish Head website. Not only did I write the score, I’ve also got a cameo as a one-armed zombie! Read about our success here.
