Happy Holidays from Blunt Envy!

The Comic Con Experience

As soon as i walked in... BAM! Stan fucking Lee is right next to me waving at the huge crowd. I was frozen but luckily a friend of mine was able to snap a picture.
After leaving in his invisible spaceship, I turned around and realized the huge crowd was actually a huge line. Costumes were everywhere, fat nerds breathing down my neck right behind me but it was all worth it...

Once inside, there was a world of magic; toys, comics, nerdy people that are into the same shit as I am. It was great.

In all the mix I got my hands on a couple of upcoming video games like Donkey Kong Returns, Golden Eye 007, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare... but nothing compared to MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3!!! A game I've been waiting to come out for almost 10 years! Although I got my ass handed to me, I can still say I played the game before any of you got to even see the cover art.

All in all, it was a great experience. Awesome people and an awesome atmosphere. If you didn't check out Comic Con 2010, you should definitely put it on your to-do list for next year.

Pretty Girls Carry Guns 2009

Look at every walk of shame as a new beginning.

why don't you drink your drink you fucking pussy

So this is one of my all time favorite videos. I shot this my sophomore year at SUNY Purchase and although my technique has improved significantly since then, I think the casting was totally dead on. My professor Larry O' Neil wrote the original screenplay, and my wonderfully talented friends helped me get it done hours before it was due. Enjoy!

This Shit is Bananas

In 2007 I took Jon Rubin's cross-cultural video production class at SUNY Purchase College. In teams of two, we established a dialog between students from Monte Rey, Mexico and Furtwagen, Germany using a combination of videos and exquisite corpse excersises.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse

Each group was assigned a word and was to make video interpretations of it. Their international counterparts were to respond. These exchanges brought to light our cultural and emotional differences. In many cases students became defensive as to the direction that their collaborators were taking the project.

Here is a video I made with the clever and talented Michael Borowiec. Our topic was "change" and this was in response to a montage of every corny time lapse you've ever seen on the internet with the song "Great Balls of Fire" in the background. We pulled this out of our asses:

We changed partners the second half of the semester. My group was night 2. Here is a link to our video exchanges with the students from Furtwangen, Germany:

In Celebration of my Sexual Frustration

Here are some scenes from my 2009 senior thesis film, "Married Girl":

Candy Rappers

The final Hot 97 battle for Summer Jam took place yesterday on Junction Blvd. Frez ONE entered this battle with a fresh air of confidence and a slew of local supporters. His authentic lyrical content and clever punchlines won the love and respect of eager onlookers.

This time Frez made it all the way to the finals. He was defeated (or ROBBED) by a Waka Flocka looking dude, "JB". As always, whoever has the loudest crew is king, and the Outsiders crew never stood a chance against the screeches of prepubescent little girls.


Fair call? You decide.


Here's some footage of how it all went down:

The Miss Colombia Project

When I was a sophomore in film school I interviewed a local Jackson Heights celebrity known as "Miss Colombia." I had often come across Miss Colombia on my way home from school or the movies as a kid. Her inappropriate humor and bold costumes left a permanent impression on me growing up. Kind of like Lady Gaga, in a creepy uncle sort of way. Upon my re-cut of this footage, I am evermore inspired by her vitality and courage.

Edward 40oz Hands at the Crack Den

I just cut together some home movie / behind the scenes Edward 40oz Hands footage that was shot at the crack den during my sophomore year at SUNY Purchase <3

Freeport Rap Wars

I went to support my boy FrezONE at the Boost Mobile Hot 97 Freestyle battle in Freeport, LI today.



He made it to the semi finals and was later annihilated by some Loon looking mother fucker spitting writtens.



Anyway, sometimes skill level has little to do with your success in ghetto rap battles. Here are some tips on how you too can hold your own despite your flow.

How To Win A Freestyle Battle (Despite Your Skill Level):

• Be Louder Than Your Opponent - This tricks the audience into believing you have authority and are therefore more talented.
• Look Like You're About To Cry - There's nothing sadder than a grown ass man crying in public. Now we weren't sure if his girl dumped him earlier in the day or if dude was just mad blunted, but dough boy made it through to the last round on pity cheers alone.
• Roll Through With A Crew of Drunk Mother Fuckers - Never underestimate the power of testosterone fueled limelight mongers. The more pussy starved the better.

We'll be seeing you at the Junction Blvd location on May 29; drunk and horny.
