THE FRENCH SECRET

Ex-soldiers on pier of arches.

Blindfolded with white flags,

Angelic garcons waiting around just to surrender.

And at the first sign of danger, they throw themselves into frigid water.

Passersby walk down this promenade that jetties into the bay,

Ignoring underarms and French breadth, these strangers pick the patriots they find lovely,

Leave a dance card with the executioner, and lead their new love to the mainland.

As she takes off that wilted halo, his face comes close to hers,

and she whispers in his ear,

‘Will you cohabitate with me?’

and oh god is it romantic.

COLD WAR KIDS

One cold dreary Sunday in October, myself and several others from the Long Beach Film Company woke at 5:00 and began a long, but great day of shooting. The Cold War Kids wanted a teaser trailer for their upcoming release 'Behave Yourself' to be released in Jan 2010. It was such a great day and we got such great footage, we've now decided to move forward with a music video for the single as well as the trailer (below). It was my first time being a Producer, but it was a lot of fun to shoot 5 locations in 1 day.

It was shot primarily in San Pedro near their new (bitchin') rehearsal space, except for the tub scene which was filmed in Long Beach, Great thanks to Jeanette, Josh, Colin and Chris for letting us take over your house and film your beautiful clawfoot tub!
