At the end of the run, Val has filmed the stage play and is now touring art houses with the movie. "Cinema Twain" is a must see and special evening with Val Kilmer live. Lees meer

TV Ads And Tapas With Group Creative Director Pat Piper.
27 oktober 2016 · 1 uur 10 min
VML Group Creative Director Pat Piper is funny, prolific and one heck of a guy. In addition to cranking out great ads, he has his own podcast called The Shakes on iTunes. Pat and I have fun talking about what it is like having comedic actors who try to one up each other during a comedy commercial shoot. We also mention how he made some of his classic Sonic commercials, which he originated with his old partner, Matt McKay. Of course, he explains what respecting the process means to him. Please give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it. Lees meer

My Apology To Stuntman Eddie Braun, Evel Knievel & All Big Dreamers.
6 oktober 2016 · 12 min
Daredevil Evel Knievel was a huge childhood hero of mine, so it was amazing and super cool that stuntman Eddie Braun successfully replicated and completed Evel's jump attempt over the Snake River Canyon in September 2016. Bravo Eddie! Lees meer
But in an uncharacteristic tweet, I disrespected Eddie's passion and success, and publicly want to set the record straight. It's cool as fuck and I was wrong to comment anything but respect and kudos. Looking inward, when I take a shot at someone's accomplishment or pursuits, it really must be an expression of frustration with something I have yet to achieve. Lesson learned. Respect the dreams of others. I am truly sorry Eddie. Please join me on the show.
Link to Eddie's jump is at jordanbrady.com, and get this, my Ford Super Duty Truck spot is one of the pre-roll spot before it plays. Kismet?
Thanks,

17 september 2016 · 43 min
"Ghostheads" Director Brendan Mertens explains all about his new film, "Ghostheads", still killing it on Netflix. This is part two of "Ghostheads", Part I being with Tommy Avalon. Lees meer
Ghostheads are not just uber-fans of the film. They form chapters and raise money for charity, while giving each Ghosthead a sense of community. I recommend the film highly, which has interviews with key cast and crew, including Dan Aykroyd, Ivan Reitman, Ernie Hudson, Paul Feig and many more, as well as with Ghostbusters fans all over the world.
The trailer is at jordanbrady.com nd this episode is an hour and change.

Docu "Outcast Forever" Rides With First All Black Motorcycle Club & Filmmaker DeVaughn Hughson.
13 september 2016 · 1 uur 15 min
Filmmaker and friend DeVaughn Hughson spend six years documenting Outcast, the first all-Black Motorcycle Club, literally living among these true rebels day and night. The result is an artistic peek into their raucous den and time-honored rituals. It's a must-watch doc and the closest you'll ever get to this unique world. Lees meer
I find DeVaughn's film a riveting study of alpha male culture, where individuality flourishes, yet everyone still supports the tribe at large. "Outcast Forever" is more than just the name of the film, it's a lifelong bond for these proud men.
We chat filmmaking, the artistic choices, and how DeVaughn earned the Members' trust. Support indie film and spread the word. Click DeVaughn's name or go to jordanbrady.com for the trailer.
Thanks,
Jordan
