GEORGE HERMS - FIVE DECADES OF MADNESS

September 9th, 2010 • Paul H-O
filmlikefilms | September 08, 2010 FOR THE FIRST TIME - I capture the moment that hadn't happened in New York since the 1990's - a video portrait of George Herms working on a new installation at Nyehaus to include in his show of work dating back to 1962. He is the incredible inimitable George Herms, the royal jester King of a generation of artists that began producing the found object assemblage and manufactured objects beyond ordinary recognition. George made the impossible possible, he provides material clues to the surreal manner of talking about his work. Special appearance by artist Fred Tomaselli. Directed by Paul H-O Edited by Gaia Balidini Videotaped at Nyehaus 8/10 Music by George Herms and Thelonious Monk

Jim Evans and Paul Surf Malibu

September 8th, 2010 • Paul H-O
Classic Psyche/Grunge/Alternative Graphic Artist Jim Evans brings me to one of his fave local spots that I can actually name because it's too famous to keep a secret - you still need a pass: go with a local. We witness the best surfers in history on a lucky break, and they never need a board. Just clean ocean and a lack of the fishing industries stupid methods of providing sushi and canned tuna.

Luther Russell: Making of "A World Unknown" Music Video

September 8th, 2010 • Paul H-O
Luther had recorded all the tracks on his upcoming 2x album, and Garett had been inspired by "A World Unknown" (which you can hear below) because he had a vision, beer, energy, and Super 8 footage right up the UNKNOWN wazoo. I said that's a good base track but why not get the musician in there? I think we can squeeze him in. All we have to do is go out and get some footage of him and match it up. Not a problem. The only thing I didn't have is my underwater rig for the camera.  Video by Garett Holden, produced by Paul H-O.
