Interviews from Was Ist Das? MarchFourth in Germany
The Was Ist Das? MarchFourth in Germany documentary film highlights the inner workings of M4 and their recent excursion to Europe in 2010. In large part, what makes the film compelling is the fact that very little media has been produced to highlight the diverse and wonderful personalities of this increasingly popular musical entity. There are copious amounts of fan-provided live clips on YouTube and other online video streaming sites. However, despite their attempt to court media opportunities not much in the way of thought provoking or intelligent discussion with band members exists to date. The Diggable Monkey is here to fill the void...
The interview outtakes from the Was ist Das? film further explore the perspectives of (6) long time band members: John Averill, Amy Hatfield, Dan Stauffer, Nayana Jennings, Sid Simpatico and Scalett Torrance. Each presents a unique view of their role and their experience with what is commonly referred to among band members as simply, "the Project". Out of costume and into a comfy seat, these kids weave a dynamic tale to satisfy among the most die hard of their fans...
As with the 29-minute documentary film, these pieces were developed for online consumption. Their sub 2-minute play duration were designed and fully intended to be consumed in a single sitting. As the editor, selecting comments from the Was Ist Das? interviews was something of a challenge. Much of what was discussed in the retrospective process was potentially useful to enhance the arc of the movie's narrative. We are pleased to release these comments in a more random and revised "short" format, so that viewers can enjoy their presentation in a more anecdotal or personal way. In a sense, we strike more at highlighting the individual rather than the band as a whole.
The eight year journey this tribe has traveled is extremely fertile storytelling soil. From our perspective, this conversational exploration has been a missed opportunity for both the band members and their fans. Our hope is that the series will in some small way help alleviate the expanding bottleneck of interest in "the Project" and recognize the stories of this incredibly unique little slice of humanity.

This is a video I made in support of Japan after the earthquake and devastating tsunami which caused much damage and loss of life in northeastern Japan in the Tohoku region.
Over a couple of days I got Japanese and foreign-residents to show their support and togetherness in dealing with the aftermath. I included footage of various Japanese festivals to showcase Japanese spirit and strength. Many of the festival clips were taken at events in the Tohoku area, the area hit the hardest. The singing is from the World Cup celebrations this past summer.This is a video I made in support of Japan after the earthquake and devastating... more

Cue the Patrick Stewart Voiceover
International Festival creates wonderland of dance
Back in 1913, the Wonderland Amusement Park in Ocean Beach was a place where San Diegans went to ride on the roller coaster, whoosh down the water slide, and do the daring new fox trot in the dance pavilion.

The L.A. ART MACHINE (LAAM), in partnership with FIND Art Magazine, and STROKE Urban Art Fair (Munich & Berlin), is proud to announce the first annual LAAM International Urban Art Festival to take place July 15-17 weekend 2011.
The Festival pays homage to L.A.’s status as one of the street art & graffiti capitals of the world while presenting exciting programming for Angelenos and out-of-town visitors alike.
The event includes a juried exhibition, a curated exhibition, an opening gala, an awards ceremony, live art painting, outdoor installations, music, food, public murals throughout Los Angeles, performances, demonstrations, art tours, classes, panel discussions, and other forms of creative urban expression and discourse.
VOX HUMANA
An important component of the Festival is the Vox Humana program. Organized by the L.A ART MACHINE and curated by Bryson Strauss, Vox Humana is a program of carefully selected live art happenings and mural installations in the U.S. and abroad by celebrated street artists and muralists from around the world.
Founded in January 2010 and based in L.A., Vox Humana has quickly become a premier public art program with major installations in the U.S., Switzerland, and Germany by artists such as Mear One, Retna, El Mac, Kofie, Akut, Hera, Case and Chor Boogie.
Under this program and working closely with the city of L.A., handpicked artists from around the world are invited to create new murals throughout Los Angeles leading up to and during the Festival.
AUDIENCE
The Festival targets all ages, income levels, nationalities, and ethnicities with an event that provides for family involvement, arts and cultural education, and community outreach. The event aims to offer all Angelenos a rich and entertaining arts and cultural experience while also creating a major attraction for national and international travelers.
PARTICIPATION
Due to the strategic partnership of the L.A. ART MACHINE, FIND Art Magazine, and STROKE Urban Art Fair, and the important relationships with Sister Cities, the Goethe Institut and other cultural organizations, the global outreach for the Festival is immense. All of these organizations are heavily entrenched in the international art scenes and are recognized brands around the world. Combined with local partnerships with the city and other arts organizations, the synergetic potential is fantastic. Join us for this important and exciting event.
