New York College of Podiatric Medicine Director Brendan Cochrane DP Matt Workman





Awesome commercial for the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. This is probably my most intensive commercial project to date. Multiple locations, a very involved understanding of the field of podiatry, the faculty, students and even an anatomy lab with yes a real cadaver. Very happy with the crew and the school for a smooth a thorough production. Got to meet Henry Kissinger at an alumni's practice on the Upper East side. Great guy! More to come stay tuned.

Dream Water National Ad Executive Producers Brian Cristiano & Chelsea Tillet Director Brendan Cochrane DP Karl Kim




Awesome and humbling opportunity to be offered the chance to direct a national spot for a brand new product called Dream Water which is basically the opposite of Red Bull - it puts you to sleep. So when you are up or can't sleep tossing and turning Dream Water is the solution. Produced by 24DP shot on Red on location in NYC we had a great crew. After this next series of commercials - all of which are going network iWrapz, Dream Water, Flate Rate we may be shifting our focus to solid commercial work. With a feature film under the belt and several music videos its time to charter new waters. Good news is that other companies are solidly pursuing work with NYLAHD and we have some great projects in store. Stay tuned.

Marcin Orzechowski Director Brendan Kyle Cochrane DP Matt Workman



The company is now doing business as NYLAHD New York Los Angeles High Definition. In New York just say New York High Def. We believe this will be a more commercial approach and allow for further growth on a national level. Inconspicuous Productions LLC will be geared for feature films and will remain the parent company.
Music video for artist Marcin Orzechowski. Shot primarily in the streets of New York City with a pit stop at the studio for some stylized performance. Good shoot despite the weather. Nice to work with Matt Workman again. Looking forward to the edit. Thanks to Marcin, Matt, Tony and Charlie. More up this week.

Undergrad Director Brendan Kyle Cochrane Executive Producer James Johns






The Undergrad is the story of a man recently released from prison who makes his way back to his old neighborhood only to be drawn into a hustlers world where eventually he encounters trouble. Within the story framework is the story of a man who is actually very gifted and has academic promise which goes unfulfilled. The actors were all unknown and new comers - the best to work with. The film was shot on location in Pittsburgh PA in eleven days. This was my first feature film directing opportunity. The people of Pittsburgh were terrific as was the crew. I am very grateful for the opportunity and know that this film will garner some attention. Big thanks and much respect to James Johns "Beans Bling," the whole cast, Karl Kim, Tony Segreto, Charlie Zwick, Zach, John, Matt, Dan, Dan the writer, the people of Pittsburgh and everyone who made this a reality. Looking forward to the rough cut and getting this to screen. More to come.
