K. Serra - The Queen at Paragon Studios

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to make a live studio music video with K. Serra at Paragon Studios here in Chicago a few months ago. We had a blast and I’m really happy with the way everything came together. 

K. Serra is playing tonight at Lincoln Hall with Bears of the Blue River. Doors open at 8pm. She just returned from a short Midwest tour and her set is sounding amazing! See you there.

K. Serra - Radio Waves - Live at Ace Bar

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a K. Serra playing a few songs at the studio. Radio Waves is one of them. I’m really pumped to post the finished videos, they are easily the best music related project I have been a part of so far.

Check out K. Serra!

Nose Job - A video blog by New French Wave Films featuring Andrew Haynes, Jordan Melcher and editing by Alex Anderson.

We made this while we were at the height of pre-production for our almost complete film The Midnite Show. All we have to finish is some sound design, color sweetening, and some additional visual FX. It’s been a wild ride and I can’t wait to do it again… BIGGER!
