Tides “Aurora” on YouTube
I was just trying to send someone an example of some production work I’ve done and found this video of Tides Aurora on YouTube. Nearly 40,000 views! It was kind of a neat moment for me. It’s pretty rewarding to know that 40,000 people have heard a record I produced. It’s been AGES since I’ve seen Donnie, Auggie, and Rob. I miss you guys and hope you are well…
Enjoy this trip down memory lane to 2005!
Convento at the American Museum of Natural History
This Friday Convento will screen at the Museum of Natural History in NYC as part of the Margaret Mead Film Festival. It will be quite a treat to see the art of Christiaan Zwaniken displayed in the Grand Gallery of the museum as well. I’m very proud of the work Jarred has put into this festival run and am honored to have been a part of this project. I can only say that to be attending the museum to view work to which I have contributed is a beautiful cherry on top of the delicious sundae that has been Convento’s success during this festival season.
If you plan to attend be sure to purchase tickets through this posted link!
Wowwie Zowwie! Best review yet. Get your tickets tonight!

The NY Premiere is this Saturday, July 16th 8pm at Rooftop films Purchase Tickets Here For one night only there is a pop-up exhibition of kinetic artist, Christiaan Zwanikken, who flew all the way from Portugal with his robo-beasts.
This is an extended cut of an interview I did with Mountain Lake PBS in anticipation of SXSW. It has an HD option and it is well worth the click!
Finally a proper interview with cursing and humility (over a few drinks). My interview with The List at EIFF
Edinburgh was good to Convento… A nice snapshot of events and buzz that surrounded our screening there.
Portrait of Dutch artist family and kinetic sculpture
“The List” June 25th 2011 by Sean Welsh
Jarred Alterman, director of the documentary Convento, takes me round the tie-in exhibition at Teviot Row House, full of the kinetic sculptures by Christiaan Zwanikken that populate Alterman’s dreamlike film. Passing a gang of creepy, animated and ululating palm leaves, we head upstairs to a cyborg hare that shares its perspective on art (a response to Joseph Beuys’ How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare). Elsewhere in the room, Zwanikken is setting up for an improvised musical performance to follow the UK premiere, which Altermann later claims will feature ‘a local snake charmer’ playing the musical saw. Two goat skulls atop an odd contraption butt heads and a small mechanical man wrestles enigmatically with his hands tethered to the sky. It’s all an excellent accompaniment for Alterman’s film, which has proven to be one of the quiet and thoroughly deserved hits of the festival. I spoke with Alterman to try to unravel some of the mysteries of his film.
We are proud to announce we won our first award at IFFB!

This is a great interview. Very happy to share it.
City Pages review of Convento
A positive review that uses poetic writing to capture the feel of the film. This is one of my favorites so far.
Convento reviewed by Film Threat
First review to use my name and highlight the score. Yes… that is the sound of my hand patting my own back.
