"Your mother was a woman with no common sense, of course your father was a man without a conscience." Sometimes a movie comes out looking like fluff, and then you revisit it later and realize you just didn't have the taste for it yet. It's a classic with something to say. Or it's a beautiful scrapbook of a time you took for granted. Or it's just fun. In the case of Daisy von Scherler Mayer's 'Party Girl,' from 1995, its all of the above. By the end of this video, you should fully comprehend the The Dewey Decimal System. If not, please re-watch. By the way, don't you think Parker Posey is doing the proto-Carly-Rae-Jepsen pose in that cover art? The outfits in Party Girl as pretty CRJ, as well.

A neighbor of mine named Possum showed me True Stories back in the late '90s or early '00s, and I became a Talking Heads fan, after that. I think I recall David Byrne used to give PowerPoint presentations as a form of performance art. I have it written down at home somewhere. Watching the first season of Severance a couple years ago, I was reminded of all that stuff and imagined Vericorp as a part of Lumon for a fan video. I just sneak in little bits. If you've seen the film or know the cast, it won't be hard to spot most of them. There are prominent Severance characters from Season 1 omitted from this, due to a desire to avoid non-trailer spoilers, and keep the locations mostly at Lumon and Vericorp. I challenged myself to do this edit without any transitions, on the belief that it served the theme, and would be a good exercise.

Been thinking a lot about personal freedoms lately, and disenfranchisement. In Robert Altman's Brewster McCloud, we have two very sympathetic antiheros navigating financial hardship, and acting out against racial injustice on behalf of others. In some ways, it's quite modern. It's also a lot of fun to see Shelly Duvall's debut performance. #brewstermccloud #robertaltman #thejackson5 #musicvideo

I decided to think more about cultural infatuation, rather than personal infatuation, in the context of the way we continue to fixate on Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe. By pairing them in this video, I don't mean to imply that they had any type of relationship, as it is known they did not. I am using footage of both Elvis, and Marilyn together to emphasize the aspect of our culture that elevates celebrity to this type of status. So this edit can be more of a meditation on that, rather than a devotional video about a star.

When I heard Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go' I immediately thought of Kansas City Bomber, and set to work. I'd been waiting for the right track to use for this movie. Starring Raquel Welch, Helena Kallianiotes, Jodie Foster and a slew of real Roller Games stars of the day, Kansas City Bomber has all the elements of a really fun picture, but unfortunately muddies the waters with a cast of wholly unlikeable, sleazy male characters (no shade to the actors behind the portrayals -- I see it as a script issue). I took this opportunity to cut them from the film, for the most part, and focus on the action of the wonderful female cast, not to mention the wild work of Ms. Welch's fantastic stunt double, and real-life Roller Games star, Judy Arnold.

Music is: 'Gatto Gelato' by Alison Goldfrapp Movie is: 'The Last Romantic Lover' by Just Jaeckin, starring the incomparable Dayle Haddon. I will watch anything with Dayle. She's just amazing on screen. Starrrrrrrrrrrr. Will be very missed.

If it weren't for Funeral Parade of roses, we would have very little video insight into queer culture in 1960s Japan. I've also heard that it was one of Stanley Kubrick's favorite films, and that he drew visual inspiration from it for A Clockwork Orange. The first time I watched it, I thought about this Boy Harsher track and thought It'd be fun to pair them.

A dedication to Christopher Reeve as my generation's Superman, with Margot Kidder as his incredible Lois Lane. When it comes to Superman, you really can't do better than Christopher Reeve, or Henry Cavill. I feel lucky to have witnessed the two greats during my lifetime.

Paris is Burning by Jennie Livingston is one of the most transportive, immersive, honest, and beautiful documentaries ever made, and it is known as such. Recording the late '80s and early '90s New York Ballroom scene, and the Legendary Children who made it the cultural touchstone that remains today, with an emphasis on what it means to create a chosen family, in a city where one's chosen family can be a source of joy and stability, but also a matter of survival. My goal in with this music video edit was to do the Ballroom proud, and make something they'd like today, if they saw it. It is up to you if that goal was achieved, but my endeavor was sincere.
