Scott Beck — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:00:00 -0800

Friends, family, collaborators, and supporters...

We hope you've had a wonderful 2012. Breaking into the film industry is a long uphill battle and we feel very fortunate that 2012 was a breakthrough year for us at Bluebox Limited Films. Here are some highlights:

Today we launch the music video we directed for Vanaprasta's "Self Indulgent Feeling". It was a return to our no-budget filmmaking roots, where we rounded up our gang of loyal collaborators and took to the streets and residences of Bettendorf, Iowa to knock this out. Hope you enjoy...

Scott's 2011 Movies in Review

Scott Beck — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 08:00:00 -0800

As I do each year in late December, I revisit the movies I've seen in the past twelve months. This was a year I was much looking forward to, as some of my favorite filmmakers returned to the screen including David Fincher, Cameron Crowe, Alexander Payne, Martin Scorsese, and Terrence Malick.

A New Xbox 360 Spec Ad, Featuring the City We Love

Scott Beck — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 16:32:06 -0800

Last month we premiered our spec commercial for Chevy Camaro, which called for us to race both a vintage Camaro and a brand-new Camaro RS across backcounty Iowa roads. Today, we premiere a new spec commercial that Bryan Woods & I directed that...well...was a little less exciting to produce (the shots are all CGI) -- but hopefully you enjoy the commercial just the same. It's one part love letter to Chicago, another part love letter to Xbox and the great Dance Central game.

Check out the commercial below.

In the midst of working on SPREAD and our iTunes release of IMPULSE, Bryan & I took the time to direct a couple of spec commercials. First up is DEFINE AN ERA, an advertisement for Chevy Camaro and the "Chevy Runs Deep" campaign. The commercial stars Brendan Dunphy and Shane Simmons, and was shot by Greg Frieden and our IMPULSE / SPREAD cinematographer Andrew M. Davis.
