If you want to check out more of the work from moonpost, get yourself over to the Walker this week, November 6th 2008, for the local screening of the new documentary from Kartemquin Films called "Typeface." We shot some of the footage you'll see in this cool new film earlier this year and we're excited to see the final flick. Join us!
Although the heyday of wood type was more than a century ago (think “Wanted” posters and circus broadsides), its revival and preservation carries on today. A new film, Typeface, chronicles this effort by documenting the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, which houses one of the premier wood-type collections in the world and runs letterpress workshops for designers and artists from across the country.
Our short film about Art Seaman, "Skating The Pacific To Europe," took home the "Best Collaboration" award last night at the Riverview Theater and we were one of the five award-winning films (out of seventy-three submissions) from the 2007 MNHS MGG Moving Pictures Festival!
I seriously don't know how the judges made their decisions with such a high caliber of movies submitted this year but we are honored to have been selected. If you weren't able to attend the screening or awards, you can watch the five winning films online at the Minnesota Historical Society website and read the special edition of "Legacy News" for further details.

The 2006 Zombie Pub Crawl through NE Minneapolis saw the horde grow to over 300 undead and much mayhem. Conflict raged later in the night as the Pirate Pub Crawl crossed the Zombies' path and things got very interesting around midnight...
This video is a collaboration between myself (zombies) and Jesse of delicious filmworks (pirates). Hope you like it!

The first Zombie Pub Crawl in northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota. Over 100 zombies showed up and shuffled through town to various bars. Aaargh!
Yes, this a repost from two years ago, but it is also an experiment in online video delivery at different sizes and quality so click and enjoy.
You are invited to the Minnesota History Center on October 8th 2006 for the MN Greatest Generation Project documentary film screenings. My latest film, "Karole Farley: All That Freedom" will be shown at 1:00pm and is eligible for a $5000 prize! This short film is a peek into the sometimes challenging, sometimes glamorous life of Minneapolis chanteuse Karole Farley who was a jazz singer in the early 40's. This 10-minute film was jointly produced with M. Rita Nagan and we'd really love you to see our hard work!
