Finishing old, starting new. Plus: New secret project and bunnies. Big fucking bunnies.

It's been a while since we've been on here, but there's a shit load of new projects we have our hands in.

For one, we finished the 2nd day of shooting of up and coming rapper Loot for his video for "Press On". We used up most of Harlem and the South Bronx it feels like, but we put it to good use i promise. Looking forward to how some screwy cinematography, street preachers, and the Keith Haring "Crack is Wack" mural (above) come together visually and tell the story of a homeless woman. But there's a twist. Of course there is. What would a Briefcase Production music video be like without a twist?

A few things learned from that shoot, don't ever schedule 8 set ups for anything less than a 16 hr day. Seemed like a good idea at the time though. Ha. C'est la vie.

We have a few more music videos in the plans, one of which I'm entirely excited about involving bunnies. Yes, bunnies. Big bunnies. And perhaps the trunk of someone's car. Not sure yet. Well maybe.... pretty sure we will though. ...Huh? Right, back to the blog.

Also in the works, a photo shoot/short film-behind-the-scenes project with the awesome jewelry and clothing from the mind of our good friend David Topper (Haus of Topper) (left). It's going to be chic, it's going to be stylish, it's going to be really loud on set to say the least. Haha. Behind the camera, for the photography portion will be the lovely Louisa Garcia of LaGata Photography, so needless to say it'll be vivid, ingenious and probably involve really skinny models. Don't worry, I hear she doesn't ever, ever feed the models, so all should be good.

Now, working on shoots is great and all, but there's also some writing which happens from time to time (like now, for instance). Yours truly has teamed up with Casey R. Anderson of Lamp and Boat Productions to get some script writing done. What pray tell could they be writing? The next great American family film? The action adventure? The silent indie sleeper? All I can say as of now is, it involved an old Volkswagen Beetle and perhaps some Black Panther relations. I think I've said too much already. Nonetheless, go wet your appetite at his Vimeo page and see his work. Then consider our talents combined...... go ahead, I'll wait......

.....Better now? OK. Let's finish this blog at home. Briefcase Productions. We're currently working on the pilot episode of our favored Kharon's Fare project. It was once a short film and now it's evolved. Grown. Become a monster. Eating your children even!.... ok, maybe not all that. But it's gotten to become something bigger than what we anticipated, so we're turning it into something special. Will it take over our lives? Only time will tell officially.  Auditions for this project coming soon, so stay tuned to us of course. It's got all the makings of a great story following the life of a modern day hitman. Interested yet? You should be, it includes characters named Zeus and Sherlock. How can you not like that?

Lastly, did I mention we have a secret project coming up? Oh yes. All we have to say is, we're crossing water for this one. Going international. That's it, can't say anything else. Sorry. But, we'll keep you posted on those developments as they....develop.

Oh, before I forget. Did I fail to mention the possible joint project between ourselves and a certain art collective? More on that in the up coming blogs.

Briefcase out!
