How to Set up a Chromebook

Just reading ESPN, and saw this little nugget we worked on:
Helped Antfood Music + Sound help Jason Schwartzman help you set up a Chromebook. The lovely Polly Hall makes a lovely string quartet. Brava.

Zenoids Theme Contest




Polly and I have been keeping busy with commercials and docs this past month, but I found enough of a window last week to pull together some talented compadres who were generous enough to turn my chicken scratch into the multi-tracked, make-shift jazz orchestra in the video above. Best of luck to the top 40 semi-finalists and many thanks to this merry band:

Leah Paul - Piccolo, Flute, Alto Flute

Rob Jacoby - Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Tenor Sax

Jeffrey Katz - Trumpets

Ross Helford - Trombones

Polly Hall - Violins

Elizabeth Luttinger - Bass

Lily the Dog - Awesome

American Portfolios (2011)

American Portfolios (2011, dir. Nicholas LaClair, 9 min.) portrays the arrival of this independent financial firm that opened and closed its doors on the morning of September 11th, 2001.

It was a pleasure to work with the string trio of Elizabeth Luttinger, Emily Elkin, and Polly Hall within the context of director/photographer Nicholas LaClair’s incisive eye.
