Los Fenomenos Director Edgar Marrera




Well there are music videos and then there are long music videos - this was a long music video. The fact that Frank's guys lugged up half the grip truck up six flights of stairs was a feat itself but we are a pretty close knit crew at least so far. There are only so many no elevator 20 hour music video jobs you can do and produce a nine camera event the same day but that's why when you need a producer you call 917 375-1182. I make sure there will be an elevator or a team of Sherpas waiting with a smile. Shout out to Matt who not only worked the whole job but who had to get up in four hours to get on a plane to shoot another music video. The **** we do!

Pure MTV2 601 Studios


Pure Director EJ McLeavey-Fisher DP Matt Workman Producer Sean Linehan. Great day smooth shoot very cool and casual crew. They got the work done in an efficient and pleasant day. Matt said something to me which made a lot of sense. You can give someone all the toys - gadgets etc. But it takes the talented one's to really bring out the best. These guys are a good crew that can do that. I enjoyed working with them and hopefully we can do it again. Two big jobs this weekend 9 camera Jiu Jitsu competition and a Music Video. More to come.

Joey Shakespear Rehearsals


Joey Shakespear back on the block. After being performed at the New York Public Theater as part of the New Work Now Series in 2003 and winning a PEN award Brendan is doing what he wants to do which is direct. Thanks to some talented actors Max Woertendyke and Steven Bennett this play is being performed at Backyart this Saturday. These guys are bringing the play up a notch. On the way home after rehearsal I ran into Mos Def its pouring rain I'm on my bike he's walking crossing in front of me and I'm trying to talk to him about 16 Blocks - it was pretty funny. But he did tell me he's doing something with George Wolfe - maybe the theater scene is back?

Hey Monday - Director Noah Shulman


Asbury Park Lanes Hey Monday Directed by Noah Shulman produced by Brendan Kyle Cochrane. This was a great video. The song is called Homecoming and the band has a really good sound and I am confident they will take off. MTV's the real word was on set filming the making of the video which was something different. The crew really delivered on this one and for all the effort put into this I think it was worth it. Thanks to Noah, Matt, Frank, Morgan, Tony, Sorin, Mike and the rest of the crew who kept the pace. And especially the the robust extra who so gracefully blocked one of the best choreographed takes to be followed by a bowler who tried to bowl with no ball. Unbelievable!

"Brother" Director Roberto Lopez - Brendan Kyle Cochrane 2d Unit DP


Brother Directed by Roberto Lopez is a short film that has been in production for a year now. Originally titled 2 Piece Meal this film follows the story of several characters as they live out their lives and impulses in the gritty Newark area. Don't want to say too much about the film as Roberto is very passionate about it and has been keeping it under wraps. Filming in probably the most dangerous Chicken shack in Newark was a welcoming experience for all crew associated with this film. I know Matt appreciated it:) Kudos to the guys that sell chicken in Newark and dodge bullets.
