newberry — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:55:09 +0000

My friend Mike Finch directed, edited, and stars in Rob Crow‘s (Pinback) new music video, So Way; I shot it. It debuted yesterday on the Rolling Stone blog, but the resolution is better at Mike’s Vimeo (below).

The Interrupters for The Observer

newberry — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 22:07:48 +0000

I photographed violence interrupters Ameena Matthews and Cobe Williams for the cover of last Sunday’s London Observer, which also ran in its sister paper The Guardian. Steve James directed a documentary film about the Interrupters which has just recently debuted. You can watch it this month at the Gene Siskel Film Center. (UPDATE: here’s a list of upcoming screenings around the world. The film’s been getting rave reviews.)

Thanks to the friendly staff at CeaseFire for helping coordinate the photo sessions, and to the awesome people I photographed for the story: Ameena, Cobe, Tio, Dee, and Marcus.

I went back to Taos, New Mexico last October, doing more cinematography on the film Black and Gold, directed by my friends Marco Zas and Diane Izzo. Here are some still photographs I shot.

Jon Langford video

newberry — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:11:45 +0000

I recently visited Jon Langford at his art studio and filmed a performance of Strange Ways to Win Wars, a track from his new Bloodshot record, Old Devils. His talented accomplices here are Jim Elkington and Tawny Newsome. Thanks to Nancy Bardawil and Aadam Jacobs on camera and audio, respectively. If any music journalists are reading this, 1) god help you, and 2) if you ever interview Langford, you can be the first to ask: “Why are you such a fat Welsh bastard?”

Film project in Taos, New Mexico

newberry — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:12:41 +0000

For the last 5 days I’ve been in Taos, shooting stills and video with my friends Diane Izzo and Marco Zas. They’re making a film with the working title Black and Gold. Here’s a picture of Vincente Martinez, one of the fabulous Taoseños we shot. More to follow.

Brian Belknap video

newberry — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 19:41:04 +0000

Last November, in my pal Brian Belknap‘s San Francisco garage, I filmed the abundantly talented singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist performing his song Junkyard. Bill Paxton’s character in Adam Rifkin‘s strange film The Dark Backward was based on Brian. You can check out his music here.

Update: you can download 3 albums from Brian’s band Turpentine, for free (!) here.

(The resolution of this clip is very high. It should help to click play and then click pause, then wait for the video to load before hitting play again. Also, if you click on the arrows next to the word Vimeo you can watch it full screen.)
