Disconnected

2017

Writer / Director / Producer / Editor / Sound Designer

Disconnected is a music video for the band Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers, based in Michigan. The band wanted something “cinematic” and not performance-based for the 2nd single from their 2017 album PLUTO. It took me some time, but I eventually landed on the concept of a shut-in elderly man who musters up the courage to venture out into society for an audition in the big city. I met Richard Little years ago through a friend of a friend, after I had the pleasure of seeing him play Clarence in a stage rendition of “It’s A Wonderful Life” in Camarillo, CA. His performance was so animated; I knew I had to write a piece for him someday. Working with Rich and talented crews in both LA and NYC was an invigorating learning experience for me, and this project is one of my favorites to this day.
