• let the door swing music video

  Sirocco spent the week­end work­ing on a music video for the Oakland-based band Birds and Bat­ter­ies. The treatment’s about friend­ship, courage, the super­nat­ural, and uni­ver­sal one­ness. It was also Sirocco’s first time uti­liz­ing green screen tech­nol­ogy. It might get get crazy. Careful!

  The video will prob­a­bly be released in March, but expect some rad behind the scenes pho­tos well before then.

• Red Moon Official Selection at the Oxford Film Festival

  Hey! Sirocco’s tak­ing another trip to the South! This time we’re head­ing to the Oxford Film Fes­ti­val in Oxford, Mis­sis­sippi to screen our short film Red Moon! I’ve never been to Mis­sis­sippi despite know­ing how it’s spelled for almost all of my con­scious life. I couldn’t be more excited over just about everything.

  The fes­ti­val runs Feb­ru­ary 9–12, 2012, so if you’re in the region, come enjoy Oxford with us! You can rest assured I’m def­i­nitely already plan­ning a Barry Han­nah seance.
