Pan Left Productions

This protest, on July 25, 2009, is in favor of alternative public spaces and against intolerance. Shot with my Canon Powershot and edited in iMovie.

At the Tucson Roller Derby 2 weeks ago this band, Vanish Twin, played at halftime. They totally rawked and were pretty fun to film. I particularly like this song, about 2012, the year the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan cosmology.

"That will be the day, that the world gets blown away!!"

i especially like the concept of 2012 because the DAY on which the world ends in the Mayan calendar is my birthday, December 23. yay! I will be 44, and the world will be about 5000, or 6000, or 4 billion, depending on who you ask.

This is a snazzy new trailer for the film on war tax resistance that Pan Left is producing for the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. It features a performance by Antibalas, a Brooklyn-based band with at least one war tax resisting member. More of their music will form the majority of the soundtrack of the film. The footage of the band was shot by one-time Pan Left member Salvador, who now lives in New York.

Editing of the film will proceed throughout the summer and hopefully finish up in September.

This is an edit of footage from the 2nd-to-last set of this year's Synaesthesia, on March 29. This set consisted of improvised music by Amy Rude, and improvised video by Steev Hise (me). I was using a software/hardware package called NuVJ, basically a small video mixing controller that has several buttons and knobs and faders, that controls the software, allowing me to manipulate and mix together various video clips stored on the computer.

This is going to be part of the Dry River doc I'm doing.
Pony Pants is one of the best bands I've seen play at Dry River and this is sort of their signature song.
