The ghost of projects present brings us Sex Hair the Web Series. This comedy series is about an 80's style air band that has dreams of making it big. Under Story Productions produced and directed the first four episodes of the series and is currently editing them down. We also produced and directed a music video of them perfoming to Journey's Separate Ways. You can check it out here.

The ghost of projects passed brings us the Kill Bill Parody. An early directing lesson, this project recreated the script and was restory boarded with all 108 shots of the final battle between Black Mamba and O-Ren Ishii from the film by Quinton Terintino to match the original as close as possible. The sword battle scenes also were choreographed to match the original as well as the score and Japanese translation. Quite an undertaking for a first time directing asignment but also quite a large lesson to be learn in one project.

Watch as Cascadia Media Collective camera crews document a wave of outrage and hope that swept the country, from the N30 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle, to the Democratic National Convention in LA, all the way to Prague and back again to Washington DC for the Bush Inauguration. Along the way, check out a series of local demonstrations about everything from old growth logging and the gravel quarry on River Road to animal rights at the circus and justice for Mumia Abu Jamal. And finally, observe the response of the police, when people actually use their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech and assembly." - Portland IMC
