new music video: KIT "Out of Ruins" OUT NOW!
Monday, July 11, 2011
Rose
ROSE
dedicated to my grandmother, Rose Gonzalez
I edited this film using color 8mm footage of my grandparents getting married back in 1948. The family thought this footage descentigrated and that they had sent me a roll of my grandfather tossing the football.
Editing and coloring this film was a sort of existential experience, gazing into before it all started, my parents, or any of my aunts or uncles; seeing my grandparents young and passionate and those that were close with them. I'm glad I'm able to share such a rich and beautiful portrait of my family.
I have a few other short films I'm editing using my family's archive of original super 8mm footage. Stay tuned at STALAGMITE.TV

No Age 3D poster
Today I worked on a poster-making workshop with Girl Skateboards' art department, The Art Dump.
I've been subliminally influenced by their graphic sense for the past 12 years of my life as a skateboarder.
Here's a poster I made using an old photo I shot of No Age at the Smell a while back. It turned out kinda 3D*. (*it works better with red on your right eye) Ultra limited edition, (1/1).

premiere of "OUTSIDE IN"
I've basically been living at the Moca exhibit, "Art In The Streets" for the past two months or so.
I had the pleasure of watching the walls go from white to 'taggedthefuckup' and saw shipments come in and become installations; and was able to document some of that with director Alex Stapleton and Doomsday for the documentary "OUTSIDE IN".
*BONUS EVENT:
Some music videos I shot with Vice Cooler and Rich Dorato, including Male Bonding "Years Not Long" will be screening at a showcase of VC's vids, Saturday 5/21/11

Life Is A Series Of Treats in MODERN DOG Magazine!
Toward the end of 2010, my friend Walt Gorecki asked me if I'd put together a video for an art show at Echo Curio and I joked "Only if it can be shot entirely by my dog". He said "Ok that sounds great", so that's literally what I did.
Recently, MODERN DOG Magazine shared the film we made.
I'm proud to own and work with such a 'Modern Dog'. Good job, Laika.

Placebo "Trigger Happy Hands"
At some point last year, I met Swedish director Andreas Nilsson, and was blown away by his MGMT video for "Flash Delirium".
I told him I'd love to help out if he was ever shooting in LA, and in less than a week I was shooting B-cam and camera assisting on this short film he was directing with the band Placebo and lots of clowns.
It was a great experience working with Andreas and Streetgang/Furlined.
Here's the finished video:

I'm part of a new Mastadon Mesa art show at Pacific Design Center, happening now.

new release: Shunda K "I'm Da Best"
I recently traveled to Tampa, Florida and directed a music video for Shunda K of Yo! Majesty.
Shunda K "I'm Da Best" music video from Steven Andrew Garcia on Vimeo.
This is my first hip-hop video, and her first single off her first solo album. My friends Erica Coronado and Brian Lichtenberg helped me out with the wardrobe and Ian Hamrick (of MIA's "Born Free") plays one of the characters. Hopefully it inspires kids that are hated-on and harassed that it's ok to be themselves.
feel free to repost if you like it...here's a "poster"

welcome to THE MASSES
If you're not familiar with The Masses already, I'll simplify by saying it's a music video/commercial production company in LA, full of good, talented people.
They recently called me in and asked me if I'm interested in working on some projects under "The Masses Lab", a new division of the company, I signed a one-year directing contract with them and I'm excited to announce that I'll now be directing videos through The Masses!
I'll still be doing cinematography and photography freelance (call me), but hopefully also directing many new projects in the coming months.
