HEY MILWAUKEE: Wanna Film Your World For A Night? + Looking for Photos and Film Footage from Milwaukee

I am pulling together a short film where I need tons and tons of Milwaukee-based photos and film footage that will be the foundation of the film. NOTE:***Sound doesn't matter - just images, cool angles, shots, movement - your world!! I don't want to give away the flow or premise of the film so if you have footage and want to recycle it and contribute to this project - high five! - and email me for the full story and plan for this short film. I am creating this film initially to submit to the Milwaukee Film Fest and then subsequent festivals....yes, you will get credit! :)

So, two things here:

1) I have a nifty little FLIP camera to lend you to film you (although its probably against my better judgement - ha) and your crazy little night or day out in Milwaukee. Or rock your own business and hand me a tape. Sound doesn't matter - just images, cool angles, shots, movement - your world!!

2) I am looking for cool, Milwaukee based film clips or still images. Black and white or color - doesn't matter. The weirder the footage, the better. Things like:
- basement shows
- nights out
- DJs and bars
- kickin it with friends
- city scapes
- skate films
- scratchy old super 8mm from your momma's attic
- random shots around your school or coffee shop or bar or where ever you kick it.
- your crap on Facebook or Flickr - just send me the link to the photo album!


Please reply here as a comment, call me at 414-530-4207 or email howie@establishmentproductions.com for more info.

I hope to have everything pulled together by Fri May 29th - hope to hear from you soon!

Surface To Air

I found my new-but-its-already-old everything's-gonna-be-alright song and considering how gray and gross it is outside, it's not a moment too soon. No, its not Bob in Trenchtown. No its not All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem but funny you/I mention that because after listening to my new/old jam, LCD done ripped em off! And lets face it, don't you wanna smack LCD with a bag full of nickels? Hey SkinnyJean Soundsystem: we get it, you're hip, now come out with another album, your EP/DJ-dom is puuuuh-layed.

I digress: the song thats gettin me all batty is : Surface to Air by the Chemical Brothers and I dare you to drink something strong from Alterra and then listen to this song. I am trying to remove this song from any sort of bar or any other smokey (ahem, ahem) setting because just the thought of it makes me wanna quit life, rock headphones and dance-jog around Lake Michigan until the end of summer. (Which isn't even close: self-buzzkill!!)



BTW: people have been emailing a whole bunch saying two things: are you a dog/that's really F-ing weird and if you are from a salon, why don't you blog more about hair? Here's the catch all answer: yes, I am a dog named Otis that chills in The Establishment Salon and what's weirder than reading my blog is emailing a dog. Get bent dorkpants. Oh and want more about hair? Get that mop cut, its spring time now freshen up, ya hear?! As a matter of fact, we are giving away a FREE HAIRCUT per DAY till April 15th - only on TWITTER so click over and FOLLOW US. Thanky.
