Red Shirley: A film by Lou Reed and Ralph Gibson
Red Shirley is a film I collaborated on with Lou Reed and the photogtapher Ralph Gibson. Shirley Novack is Mr. Reed’s 100 year old cousin, a survior of the Holocaust, a pioneer of worker’s rights and a terribly charming lady. She tells her own story through interviews with Mr. Reed. I photographed the film with Mr. Gibson and was the editor. The film played at Lincoln Center in NYC as part of the NY Jewish Film Festival and also screened at Sundance 2011.

Training Day was created in conjunction with Steve Nash as a bio spot for Nike. I spent 3 days with Mr. Nash in Manhattan following him through his daily activities, most of which include some sort of sport. The concept was to show the reality of how Mr. Nash trains and how he lives his training. I directed, photographed and edited the 1:30 second spot which was originally available on Nike.com, followed by YouTube.Directing, Cinematography, Editing2010 -
For Lou Reed’s performance of his 1973 concept album Berlin, along with Lola Schnabel, I directed a series of short films based on the main character of the album, Caroline, played by french actress Emmanuelle Seigner. These films were projected on- stage during the live performances.
Over the course of the next 6 months, combining the short films I directed and the footage of the live performances, I edited the feature length concert film, Berlin.
Berlin had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and went on to screen at the Toronto and San Sebastian Film Festivals among others.
The first video below is the theatrical trailer, which I also edited, for the feature length concert film.Cinematography, Editing, Film2010 -
