20 years

Mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd been crazy busy with an exciting project, thought I'd share it with you now that life has calmed down a bit.  Since then we've actually shot another music video in addition to this one, but this is still the one I'm most excited about, as it was the first time I was able to co-direct with Husband. It was exhausting and overwhelming but also totally exhilarating and ridiculously satisfying.  I might be addicted.

A few more still photos for your viewing pleasure plus the video itself...

Here's a teaser for the short film "Jack", directed by my amazing husband (yes, it's possible that I'm biased).  I was lucky enough to work on it in a number of ways, including as stylist and puppet maker and handler.  And now it's finished!  The full version isn't available for viewing yet, but even just seeing the trailer gets me all excited.

time, again

Time, finally, to share with you some of my work.  Choreographed and performed by yours truly, to the haunting music of Matt Elliott, co-directed by sweet husband Alonso Luján and myself.  I'm trying to play it cool, but honestly, I'm so excited to get it out into the world, I'm beside myself.

Remember I was making a puppet? Without having any idea how?  Well, I think Max came out a-ok in the end.

Turns out he's also a great actor, though everyone on set agreed that he didn't really have a chance to explore his talent to its maximum potential; he basically just had a cameo in the film.  I think Max has a bright future though, and I'm not just saying that as a proud mother.

Right now Max is hanging out in our living room.  It's almost like having a puppy to come home to, he's always so excited to see us, always filled with energy and joy.  You may think I'm losing my mind, but I tell you, having this little guy around is pretty awesome.

Take a peak into the creation process after the jump...

We shot Jack this weekend! It was incredibly exciting, exhausting, thrilling and nerve-wracking, all at the same time.  Among the myriad of my responsibilities was the styling.  Jack hung out in his bathrobe and pjs for the most part, but his dear wife Maggie dressed for work.  She wore this lovely skirt from Massimo Dutti paired with a simple nude blouse from Zara:

But of course I picked up tons more work clothes for her just in case.  See what else was in her closet after the jump...

I'm back from London, super excited about everything I learned in Blogshop (my brains's still smoking a little bit from all the new information!).  I will tell you all about it and more, I promise, but not until next week.  Right now my cup runneth over with the styling and monster-making for Jack.

We shoot this weekend, and I honestly don't think I'll be able to post again until after we're done, but come monday I will let you know how it went!

dulus dominicus

Presenting the new music video for Alex Ferreira's Dulus Dominicus, just released on MTV.es. Styled by yours truly, directed by the super talented Alonso Lujan*. 

If you're in Spain you can watch this version, which according to the director is a better compression:

*In the interest of full disclosure, aside from being a talented director and director of photography, Alonso is also my husband and the love of my life.  So yeah, maybe I'm a little biased.  But that doesn't mean the other stuff's not true.
