The men who stare at Goats! INSANE DOCUMENTARY
Why are Iraqi prisoners of war being forced to listen to Barney the Purple Dinosaur's theme tune repeatedly, at top volume? Why have 100 de-bleated goats been secretly placed inside the Special Forces command centre at Fort Bragg, North Carolina? Has the US army really enlisted the help of Uri Geller? In The Men Who Stare at Goats,made into a feature film with an all-star cast, author Jon Ronson searches for answers to these and many other questions, revealing some of the extraordinary beliefs at the core of the War on Terror.

Pace Won & Mr. Green
This is a video I directed and edited for Pace Won & Mr. Green's song "The Eye Of A Needle." We filmed this video in several locations around New Jersey, including the mean streets of Newark; where crack heads, with lightning speed, swooped in and robbed some tapes and a camera battery when our backs were turned.

"I Need Money" Off Pace Won & Mr. Green's new album "The Only Color That Matters Is Green." I directed this with Evan Van Horn who edited it as well. To check out more Pace Won & Mr. Green go to www.Myspace.com/PaceAndGreen

The Story Of Patty Mayo
This story began around mothers day of last year. I was visiting my friend; a 50-something year-old dog foster mom who lives in a trailer park and goes by the name Patti Mayo. Patti is a huge animal enthusiast and is constantly talking about the importance of rescuing abandoned animals. She lives in her trailer with 8 abandoned and rescued pooches. One of her dogs is named Rimedog - a name she picked after seeing a dog character on the highway by the graffiti artist Rime. After seeing that character, Patti became a big Rime fan and talks about him constantly. She also became interested in graffiti, and now knows more about graffiti than most graffiti writers do. So one afternoon, around mothers day of last year, Patti was telling me how much she would love to have a "Rime dog" painted on her trailer; a mural to signify her passion for rescuing dogs. I'd heard this wish of hers before but that day she could not stop talking about it. She kept saying how it would mean the world to her and would be the greatest mothers day present a rescue mom could ask for. I was just getting into video at that time, so i offered to film whatever message she wanted to say to Rime and help her send it to him through the internet. And so, that day, this video below was made
Rime ended up seeing the first video and contacted Patti promising her a "pimped" trailer. Not only did Rime come to New Jersey and answer Patti's mothers day wish of painting a "Rime dog" on her trailer, he went the extra mile and covered her trailer with dogs, a palm tree and Jesus - making it the most magnificent trailer the trailer park, and perhaps the world had ever seen!

RIME, PIMP MY TRAILER! from Young & Balding Productions on Vimeo.
One of the best parts of the whole fiasco was a few days after Rime painted the trailer, and I was at the trailer park getting the finished footage. The guy who owns the trailer park, a greek man in his early 70's with a thick accent and who all the residents hate, comes walking towards the trailer. As he walks towards us he sees the trailer for the first time and freaks the fuck out. "What the fuck is this???" He yells at us as he stares at the trailer. Patti tries to calm him down. "It looks like a fucking zoo on the trailer!!!" He screams. I explained to him that it was for her rescue dogs. Then at the top of his lungs - "Dogs??? Dogs???? Those aren't fucking dogs! There fucking animals!!!!!" He then told Patti she had to paint over it or be out of the trailer park in a week. She hasn't heard from him since and the trailer remains untouched.
Once again, thank you Rime, from all the trailer park residents and myself for making a historical weekend in New Jersey history!
