Blue Period.

I just released my first solo record, recorded while I was living in Portland, OR. 13 songs with some great artwork by Dave Gerritsen. It's called Blue Period. Follow the link above to listen to tracks, read more about the album and buy or download a copy.

New York City Screening

Addison's Wall plays NYC as part of the NewFilmmakers Series on Wednesday, May 30 at the Anthology Film Archives at 32 2nd Ave. If you're in town and on the east side, we'd love your support. It's an honor to be screening where Jonas Mekas published his early film writings and where guys like John Cassavettes found a willing audience for their first films. Very cool.

Thank You, Portland

On April 8, Addison's Wall premiered in its hometown as part of the Longbaugh Film Festival. Around 500 people came to our first show. Sunday's follow up screening sold out so a third was added.

I want to thank everyone who came out to support the film. Special Thanks to Dave "Badazz" Walker for the opportunity to show the film, and for all he said and did on its behalf during the festival and many other times along the way.

Addison's Wall a hit at Cinequest

Addison's Wall screened at Cinequest on March 4, 2006, packing a 250-seat theater for its World Premiere. Audiences were incredibly engaged and stayed for a half-hour Q&A with Director David Waingarten afterwards. Read the fantastic review we got in San Jose's Metro newspaper.
