It has been a long time since I updated the news at Enfineitz. This is a good thing, as it reflects a season of increased productivity.
I have just returned from my fifth visit to Japan. This time, as with others, I traveled there to direct a film.
I’m a core member of Studio Re:, a grassroots not-for-profit film studio tasked with making positive films within Japanese culture and lifestyle.
I’m not Japanese, so I go there as a gaijin film director. I collaborate with many talented people, ex-patriots and Japanese nationals alike.
The project I worked on this time was a documentary about a live collaboration between a wadaiko group and a black gospel choir. See more about this in my blog post: http://enfineitz.com/wp/?p=366
This week I’ll be finishing up Intelligent Utility July/August 2009. Since my travel to Japan was almost smack in the middle of the scheduled production for this publication, I will have to double-time it to catch up.
I will also continue to design the new website I’ve worked on since April for Maxcomm. I am collaborating with my good friend Dru Shockley to take my skills and creativity to new heights with this high-profile client referred to us by Yale University, another client.
I’ve also been commissioned by Scott Kronberg of Boll Creative to create an original editorial illustration. Should be a fun project.
I believe my work will become a bit less busy in July, as some of the bigger projects have been completed.
