Senegal, Africa, Through My Eyes

Senegal, Africa, Through My Eyes

  • About the Project: Viewed on The Vimeo HD Channel, Socially Minded Documentaries, and matadortv.com

    This video is about happiness.

    One could argue, we are not less happy just more frustrated.

    I made this video so I could remember Africa, and so others who have no idea what it feels like may be able to empathize, and smile at the same time.

Why I shouldn’t have purchase an iPhone 4

June 25th, 2010

So I just received my iphone 4 and what a disaster.

I like the way I hold my phone but apparently Steve Jobs says that I should hold it a different way. Hello. You idiots put the antennae right where my pinky finger grips the phone!!! Are you kidding me? Did you test it a couple times before releasing it? Wait a second… Am I talking to a blog right now ranting about a large corporation? I’m having deja vu.

Here’s proof of Steve Jobs in denial: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ytech_gadg/ytech_gadg_tc2844

Yep, turns out the lower left corner of the iPhone 4’s antenna-housing stainless-steel rim is sensitive to human skin, so much so that your AT&T reception may drop precipitously when you hold the phone on the left side. Steve Jobs’ advice: Don’t hold it like that.

Met John C. Reilly

June 23rd, 2010


John C. Reilly, originally uploaded by keithrivers.

I met John C. Reilly today after my dad’s radio interview with him. He came in to talk about his new movie: Cyrus

He said that he’s genuinely proud of the film.

He was really cool. Laid back. He had a nice handshake, the kind of dude who isn’t uncomfortable to hang out with. I snapped a picture with him and asked him what I should do if ya catch on fire. He said, “stop, drop and role ya dummy”

A music video by Good Boy Creative

June 5th, 2010

This video keeps your attention span, allows you to listen to the lyrics, and really portrays the artist as an interesting character. Great shots and killer concept. Good job to the GBC.

Films that matter

May 27th, 2010

Grocery stores around the country are filling their dumpsters with food. Not rotten, spoiled food, but billions of pounds of good, edible food.
After watching this, I don’t think I really am a true film-maker until I’ve delivered a message as powerful and as calling as this. Great job to these film-makers I wish them nothing but success and growth:

Bridgestone “Scream” Super Bowl Ad

May 25th, 2010

Probably a bit delayed, but a friend sent me this ad, and the comedic timing on the edit is just perfect. I love this spot. Enjoy:
