I was inspired to make this short film because I wanted to work with a group of creative talents to create a film project that would have a high visually creative footprint.

We shot Cyanide Breathmint at the National Black Theatre in Harlem, New York on an empty floor in their W.125 St. building. We spent two long days constructing the set using mostly string, cardboard and wood. Then, we shot on 35mm film stock for two more days. Cyanide Breathmint was edited in my creative studio in Austin, Texas; it was transferred to HD and color corrected by the talented folks at AndTransfer in Dallas, Texas.

I have recently moved to Austin, TX where I am seeking work as a filmmaker and have opened an online film/video production studio with Jerry Thompson called Pixel Propaganda (www.pixel-prop.com). We are currently seeking projects. Cyanide Breathmint is one example of the work we can do.

I want to thank everyone who worked on this film with me. It was a long road but now I can say one thing . . . “here it is.”

Let me know what you think.

P.S. Hit the 4 arrows at the bottom left corner. The film is uploaded in HD and looks great full screen.

The New York Jets take great pride in playing an active role in making a year-round commitment to the tri-state community.

Programs funded by the New York Jets Foundation touch the lives of countless young men and women in the tri-state area. Over the past nine years, the Jets and their charitable foundation have raised or contributed more than $9 million to promote youth health, fitness and education, particularly in disadvantaged communities.

From fighting childhood obesity through the Generation Jets: Be Lean & Green initiative to launching a football team in an urban high school, urging students to eat right and move more, and supporting the efforts of the Alliance for Lupus Research, the New York Jets invest in programs that make a difference in the lives of others. In addition to the Jets Foundation, which supports our own extensive youth initiatives, the Jets partner with numerous established charitable organizations and participate in causes sponsored by the NFL.

This was a PSA produced specifically for the New York Jets in association with the New York Jets Foundation and Alliance for Lupus Research. We were proud to be apart of a great initiative by all those involved and to assist with such a worthy cause. All post-production (editing, sound design, music) was handled in-house at Pixel Propaganda’s studio.
