What is your favorite thing about your work space?
Recently, that it has an air conditioner. In general, that it's three times the size of my old work space. It's also in my home so it's nice being close to my family even though I'm pretty sure they get tired of having to hear the day's business as it unfolds or watching rough cuts of projects all day.
What projects are you working on at the moment? How do you stay on top of all the different things you're working on?
We're in the final stretch of editing Charlie Louvin: Still Rattlin' The Devil's Cage. This is our documentary about recently passed Country Hall of Famer Charlie Louvin. For this project we partnered with JuddFilms, Neltner Creative, and photographer Brian Steege to create Devil's Cage Productions and we're looking to have the film ready by late summer/early fall.
We're also finishing up a short documentary for the Chicago Public Art Group about the construction of their new piece up on Osterman Beach. The project paired the lead and assistant artists with some Chicago youth artists who built it over their spring break. That'll be coming out in the next few weeks or so.
We also produce Small Chicago on an ongoing basis.
In regards to staying on top of everything, I write a lot of things down and then post them in places where I'll see them over and over. Otherwise, I remember nothing.
What's been the most interesting thing about Small Chicago for you so far?
I guess the obvious, in that it's really great to meet more and more Chicago bands, hear lots of great live music and we also get to work with our friends at Boldt Collective who take stills for each episode. Milk Products also consists of some notoriously bad musicians that occasionally forget that and this is a good way to remind us why these people are the ones playing and we're the ones filming.

If you were in a band, which instrument would you play and what would your band sound like?
Which ever one was cheapest and easiest to carry or whatever I may already own-- like a beginner accordion. We would be sort of an east coast trip-hop glitch-core thing or we would sound exactly like Roscoe Holcomb. Exactly like Roscoe Holcomb.
Do you like ice cream? What kind is your favorite? How about cereal? (question asked by Juli)
I was unaware that there were other things to eat besides ice cream. I hate to give away all my moves, but, take your favorite ice cream (so long as it's not mint) and cover it in natural peanut butter. Your life will improve. And if you're into your ice cream being handheld, the recently-available-in-the-U.S. Magnum ice cream bar will blow your face off.
What should I ask the next person to be on By Measure?
What's the single most important item for a long journey? (the answer is dry socks)
