The raw chaos of @ursludgemommy new single “I Don’t Want A Job” hits from the first riff and doesn’t let up until the last crash. Sludge Mother bleeds energy and vision—loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.
I’ve been working with Sludge Mother for just under a year, and the last six months have been laser-focused on developing the brand and working on new music. Sludge Mother has brought it out - and I couldn’t be more proud to work with her.
Managing an artist like this—someone with a distinct voice, vision, and zero interest in playing it safe—is why I do this. Pulling this video shoot together with a crew of filmmakers who went above and beyond for an independent artist like Sludge Mother was magic. This is DIY spirit at full volume.
Excited for what we have next - thanks for trusting me full circle.

We were supposed to shoot this video in a scenic Nashville hillside—but summer weather had other plans. We switched gears fast. And honestly? I ended up making something I’m extremely proud of, because it was something I’ve never done before - a video not grounded against the texture of the real world.
this video for Halestorm became something epic. I love the end result, an amazing epic battle between good and evil. @lzzyhale absolutely crushed the stunts and battling against her own sister-in-law @emilymadisonhale Emily the creature of darkness.
Grateful for the challenge. Grateful for the result. Hope you dig it. The link is in my stories.
