Official Theatrical Trailer for REINCARNATED, for VICE Films. Legendary hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg changes his name to Snoop Lion, travels to Jamaica, immerses himself in Rastafarian culture and produces his first reggae record.

Official Trailer for CHIRAQ, a series I edited for Noisey and Vice Media. CHIRAQ shines a light on the drill music of Chicago's South Side, as well as the violence surrounding the area, and takes a hard look at the social and cultural challenges the city faces.

Official Trailer NOLA: Life, Death & Heavy Blues from The Bayou, a series I edited for Noisey and Vice Media. NOLA is a seven-part series examining the people and the culture that helped foster New Orleans’ metal scene from the 1980s through the present day. In addition to the music, NOLA investigates a variety of social issues which inarguably contributed to the city’s singular sound: Hurricane Katrina, drugs, suicide, murder, and all that fun stuff.

"Despite all of the destruction they have been through, in the camps the women are learning to work and continuing their education which is giving them strength, resilience, and a new sense of self identity. The Syrian war has been going on for more than 4 years and nothing has changed, but the women have. I spent a week in Turkey working on this project, and three days in Şanlıurfa Province visiting the two camps, Harran and Akçakale." - Director Aliya Naumoff

New Orleans native Phil Anselmo exports his style to Dallas band Pantera, thereby changing the landscape for metal in the 90s. Meanwhile, a visit from the Melvins to the New Orleans area would change the landscape for metal as we know it, with Kirk Windstein of the band Shell Shock was discovering that slower was, for him, heavier.

Mike Williams discusses finding kindred spirits in Jimmy Bower and Joey LaCaze, creating a band “that’s like Sabbath, but a punk band” with Eyehategod. Enduring hardships like drugs and Hurricane Katrina, Eyehategod persevered into 2013, only to have tragedy strike yet again.

On a fishing trip with the Noisey team, Jimmy Bower discusses his come up with Shell Shock, the origin of Eyehategod and his place in the sound of New Orleans, including where he thinks the roots of the music lie.

From the shrimp boats to zydeco to the cocaine tray, Sammy Duet and Kirk Windstein talk about influence from the crescent city starting in their childhood until now. Acid Bath breaks into the New Orleans scene with a killer work ethic, but Sammy’s discovery of Darkthrone leads to an entirely different path.

New Orleans native and Graveyard Rodeo member Pepper Keenan leaves his hometown for Corrosion of Conformity, which would become one of the most sought after bands of the 90s by mixing southern-influences with classic heavy metal.

Despite tragedy surrounding the band and their native city in the wake of Katrina, Down rises again to new heights with a new album and tour.

Phil Anselmo opens up his home for a crawfish boil with the Noisey crew. Meanwhile despite tragedy and significant loss, the natives of New Orleans will not falter in their fight to write the best riff in the history of their city.

In the first part of Noisey’s 8-part documentary CHIRAQ, we head to Englewood, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city of Chicago, to meet Chief Keef, the most famous rapper in the drill scene. Unfortunately at the time, Chief was facing legal trouble, so we instead found Young Chop, a producer credited with shaping drill music, and he gives us an overview of the scene. Later, fellow 3Hunna members Lil Durk and Lil Reese expand on Chop’s thoughts, and we learn extensively about the violence surrounding the area, and the social and cultural challenges the city faces.

In the second episode of Noisey’s Chiraq, Chief Keef and his crew head to New York while we catch up with MGS and Global Gangstas Entertainment, two other rap collectives in Chicago. They, along with the Chicago Police Department, speak extensively on the social and cultural challenges faced by the community. Near the end, we’re introduced to Yung Trell, a 14-year-old rapper from Englewood who’s looking for his break.

In the third episode of Noisey’s Chiraq, we pick up where we left off in Englewood, and get a taste of the new music coming from the area. Then we jump back across the country and join Chief Keef, Fredo Santana, and others wandering around Times Square. They say what’s up to Alien and Predator before heading backstage for some free styling as they prepare for a show.

In the fourth episode of Noisey’s Chiraq, we catch up extensively with Lil Durk, the next superstar of the Drill scene and go to a show with fellow 300 / OTF member Lil Reese. It’s the night of Lollapalooza, but that doesn’t matter because inside and outside the venue, the crowd is packed to the walls. Afterwards, we roll through the South Side of Chicago with Durk and meet his family, learning about the life from which he came, and why he “terrifies the city.”

In the fifth episode of Chiraq, we step outside of drill music and catch up with Chicago rapper Vic Mensa and the rest of his SAVEMONEY crew. They spend the day gathering cash to bail fellow rapper Joey Purp out of jail, and on the way we chat about the city’s scene. Vic doesn’t associate himself with the Chiraq lifestyle because he feels it’s too negative, but understands the struggles of those who come from that part of the city. He’s also, surprisingly, a really big fan of Rage Against the Machine.

In Episode Six of Noisey Chiraq, we tag along with rising super-producer Young Chop, who despite being the most successful beatmaker to emerge from the Chicago rap scene, still doesn’t have his drivers license (his mom drives him around). Song-maker for artists like Chief Keef, French Montana, Juicy J, Big Sean and Pusha T, Chop visits Chicago’s Bean for the first time ever and we find out the extent of racial segregation in the city.

In Episode Seven of Noisey Chiraq, we continue exploring the Sosa phenomena, the segregation of Chicago, and the societal forces behind the violent lives of the young people on the South Side. Later, we catch up with Young Chop, who explains what he’s done to succeed, and he introduces us to fellow drill producer Paris Bueller, creator of Lil Durk’s “L’s Anthem.”

In our final episode of Chiraq, we discover what the Nation Of Islam thinks about the Chiraq phenomena then finally get an audience in the court of Almighty Sosa, a.k.a. Chief Keef, a.k.a. young Keith Cozart. Filmed at his house in the suburbs of Chicago, Keef spends his time whipping donuts around the backyard on an ATV.

I directed the video for "The Graduates" by Speedy Ortiz. This is my second video for Speedy Ortiz. I love collaborating with these guys a lot.

"The video for Speedy Ortiz’s new song, “The Graduates,” was inspired by a trip to an arts and crafts store. The band had conceived of a loose idea for a video centered on a crime spree and heist, but changed the concept slightly after Dupuis spotted the shop’s assortment of plastic glue-on eyes. The result is a psychedelic romp in which “Speedy Ortiz is a group of merry pranksters trying to liberate our peers into the truth of love and freedom,” Dupuis explains, “through googly eyes.” - The New York Times' T Magazine

I made this music video for “Drive” by Mark Dwinell of Forma using hundreds of photographs taken around Woodstock NY and Portland OR in autumn of 2014.

In 2013, VICE and Ray-Ban collaborated on The Envision Series. We've created videos with everyone from Dan Deacon to Action Bronson and hosted events at Pitchfork Music Festival and Roberta's Bushwick Party. These projects happened for one reason: we were searching for an individual worthy enough to have his or her creative vision come to life (and of course, to also have tons of fun).

We caught up with folk rock duo Two Gallants during our JanSport Bonfire Session in their hometown of San Francisco to talk the city's musical history, the Bay Area creative scene and the ~*~Cali vibes~*~.

Vans House Parties are a cornerstone of New York’s summer concert landscape, with every show last year selling out within hours of their announcement. In this episode, Tim Harrington and the rest of the dudes in Les Savy Fav share their pre-show rituals before a set at the House Of Vans. Y'know, normal stuff like getting pedicures and sharing celebrity gossip. It's all about relaxation and awesome feet.

The idea is simple: throw a party with the good vibes of a classic, friend-filled bonfire under the stars…right in your neighborhood. Parquet Courts were kind enough to take us around their version of New York City, which includes a game of pickup basketball that has been going on since the sport's inception.

East Village Radio was an internet radio station based on East 1st Street and 1st Avenue in New York City's East Village. For six years I hosted a radio show called Bim Bam Boom and designed video projections for the studio, a mirrored storefront open to the street. The projections didn't just announce that we were East Village Radio, they were immersive as well, bathing every inch of the studio in shimmering, colored light that was great for video and photography. Check out this clip from one of East Village Radio's most popular program, Chances With Wolves to see what I mean.

Bruar Falls was a bar and music venue located on Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I designed and projected a series of video loops over the course of Bruar's three year run between 2009 and 2011. These video projections became an integral feature of the venue's identity, and can be seen in virtually every photo and video taken at Bruar Falls. My personal favorite is a video of Sean Lennon covering Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain".
