Star Wars Uncut: The Director’s Cut

In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The “Director’s Cut” is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece.

We can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special project.

There Will Be Oil

Short remix for the Appropriation Alliance’s Critical Remix Festival. The theme for the festival is War and Oil so I farmed recent Hollywood films related to war in the Middle East along with a few oil films going all the way back to John Wayne’s Hellfighters (careful not to omit Steven Segal’s classic On Deadly Ground). The Prospectors Arrive scene from There Will Be Blood seemed a fitting parallel to the invasion of Iraq.

I’m Bruce

This is what I meant when I said I was working on a Bruce Willis video. “I’m Bruce Willis” performed by Jeep Cherokee. Produced by Kevin Bewersdorf (2008). Includes just about every Bruce Willis movie with the exception of 13 Blocks, North, Cop Out, and Bandits. I didn’t include cameos or his performances in 4 Rooms or Alpha Dog because there weren’t any clips that worked.

Stardude

Trailer remix of the John Carpenter 80′s sci-fi film Starman with the Coen Brothers’ 90′s classic The Big Lebowski. I figured Starman would have been way better if the alien had taken the form of the dude, traveling across the country in a beat-to-shit 4-door 1973 Ford Torino, smoking doobies and jamming Creedence, but that’s, like, my opinion man.
