'Make that Music' came from an idea I had to showcase some of my amazing artistic friends who produced their music independently and economically sustain themselves through their art. Together with my partner, producer/editor Byron Valino and underground legend Aceyalone, I went about producing and directing four webisodes of 'Make that Music,' a web series that shows the creative process behind the recording of a song-- all from the perspective of independent artists in genres ranging from hip hop to dub rock. We were graced with the talents of our beautiful co-host, the talented singer/songwriter, Kim Hill. In this augural episode, we had our producer/host Aceyalone interview supa dupa dope producer, Bionik and hip hop lyricist, Griffen at the Beehive Studios in Santa Monica. Griffen lets us peek inside the booth as he lays down the vocals for his song, 'The Urn.' Byron Valino, who was straight off a nine-hour flight from Tokyo, shot the episode with assistance from his friend Mike. Adam Cathcart took care of our sound. And the fabulous Eric Sueyoshi shot all the stills. Piece was shot using two Panasonic AG-DVX 100 24P cameras and my trusty Canon GL1 for the intro and outro. Very special thanks to my brother, Julian for his additional production assistance. Bionik produced the opening sequence song and included music from the Ken Oak Band. All told --budget was about $300-- with special thanks to the artists who contributed music! If you'd like more information regarding the show please email us directly at makethatmusicshow@gmail.com and check out our website and myspace page. Our goal is for 'Make that Music' to become the web forum for independent musicians to showcase their newest works-- no matter the genre, you just have to be good!

Mike Judge stopped by the Miramax Films booth at Comic-Con for their green screen experience and was inserted into this trailer for Extract. You can see him just after they show a quick new scene of the guy not getting hit by the projectile at about 17 seconds.
