Back in the day day, I did this crazy documentary across the world entitled “Spooge”. This documentary would not have been possible without Director of Photography Anatoli Taldykin, Associate Producer Sergio Love, Executive Producer Matt Bongiovi, Music Supervisor Dave Curtin, Editor Sheila Moreland, and Co-Director Anthony Michaels. Thank you so much you guys for making this happen. Yes, that’s Fred Durst singing backgrounds to “Looking for My Yoko” in the opening, and of course our buddy Bobby Lee is in there doing what Bobby Lee does. Some of the other people that pop up are Laurence Fishburne and many more surprises. This was produced in the late 90s/early 2000s. Some of the locations we visited were New York City, Cannes Film Festival, Des Moines, IA — well just watch it, I’m all over the place bro! I’m all over the place spoogin’! Enjoy my documentary SPOOGE, doooooodz!
Icelandic performance art meets Spinal Tap in this wickedly fun look at women behaving creatively. Three bandmates, Álfrún, Saga and Hrefna, of The Post Performance Blues Band, are tired of playing to audiences of five at their gigs and getting paid in beer. Each of them is staring down 40 and exhausting themselves juggling motherhood and their artistic pursuits. They decide to give themselves one year to either become popstars or quit the band for good. What follows is a make-it-or-break-it story of a band that's not really a band, pursuing a goal that is not actually attainable. Band member and filmmaker Álfrún Örnólfsdóttir puts herself, along with age and gender bias, on stage in this docu-parable about talented but not teenaged women trying to be successful in a youth-obsessed, overnight-success industry. Band allows gifted artists to perform the resilience and sisterhood that truly exists between life's messes, rejections and triumphs.
