Bill Streeter’s acclaimed Lo-Fi St. Louis unveiled an ambitious new project earlier this week: A collaboration with Tower Groove Records that showcases fourteen artists playing at Cherokee Street businesses.

Even more impressive? Streeter’s crew managed to film fourteen different musical acts in one day without going completely bonkers.

Official book trailer for Missouri Harvest published by Reedy Press and Webster University Press.

The Royale is famous for their themed parties and they often invite me to document them.

Anyway I found this little gem of Stag years past. I don’t know when it was published exactly, but anyone would be right to guess that’s it’s a relic of the mid-20th century. Oh and here’s a PDF you can download to read and enjoy as well.

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at a book trailer. So when Amanda Doyle reached out to me for ideas on how to promote her new Guidebook to St. Louis it was one of the things I suggested we do. It seems to have been effective. It got people buzzing about it and has reached the top of the local best seller lists. The trailer often gets included in blog posts and news sites when the book has been written about and has become a valuable part of her press kit.

This was a day long fundraiser for the United Way sponsored by AT&T. Chess Grand Masters Hikaru Nakamura and Ben Finegold took on all comers in several events.

Bill Streeter’s award-winning video blog, Lo-Fi Saint Louis, boasts St. Louis’ best musicians, artists and burlesque queens. But for his first feature-length film, Streeter showcases a subject that, on the surface, seems pretty dull: brick.

“I admit it seems a little nutty,” Streeter says. “But the more I learned about the history here and how that history is being stolen by brick thieves, I realized this could be a good film. One of the things that helped me think it was OK is when I saw that movie ‘Helvetica.’ I figured if someone can make a movie about a typeface, I can make a movie about a building material.”

“Brick by Chance and Fortune” had its debut at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and will play twice this week at Off Broadway. The title, taken from Greek historian Plutarch, alludes to our geological jackpot: the clay beds that lie beneath large areas of St. Louis.

Like anything we see every day, brick is largely taken for granted, which is why BRICK BY CHANCE AND FORTUNE: A ST. LOUIS STORY is such a revelation. Even viewers who’ve never given St. Louis brick a second thought should be impressed how Streeter unexpectedly manages to turn a seemingly narrow subject into the type of relevant discourse that a great documentary should be.

DVD Cover for Brick by Chance and Fortune

Trailer for my first feature-length documentary; Bricky By Chance and Fortune. Produced over about a year and a half, I had my hand in all aspects of the project from pre-production to post production. I shot about 75% of the material myself, and did all the graphics. I even designed all the promotional material and the DVD packaging.
