I’m grateful to the REELpoetry 2024 film festival for making “THE MISSING BOOK” an official selection at their upcoming event in Houston.
I look forward to seeing all the films selected to screen at this poetry-film fest.
Houston, No Problem
E Is for What???
And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).
All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!
Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!

Pass the Popcorn
I’m looking forward to checking out a screening today of “This is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco as part of the local short film collection at the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival (1:30pm, PST).
My film is also playing on Dec 9 at the 4 Star in San Francisco with a group of animated shorts.
Can’t make it to SF? That’s okay, you can see the film online later in December at the official website of the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival.
Another Hole in the Head 2023
I’m pleased to report that “This Is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” is an official selection at this year’s Another Hole in the Head film festival. You can check out my short poetry film online from Dec 1 – 25 as part of Strictly Local 2 collection.
Better yet, you can join me at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco on Dec 2 (1:30pm) for a live screening of my film, following by a short Q&A session.
A second in-person screening has been added: Dec 9 (1:30pm) at the 4 Star Theater in San Francisco (with other animated shorts).

We Got a Cover
Excited to reveal the cover for a NEW ALBUM coming soon from a new group called Fear the G-Drive, which is also the name of the record.
SuperMega thanks to graphic designer extraordinaire Chris Held for our super-cool cover.
“I’m One” (cover)
While working on a new album recently, I took a few minutes to record this song from my favorite album from my favorite band. It’s one of the first songs I ever learned to play and I’m still trying to get it right … but here’s where it is now.
“I’m One”
Written by Pete Townshend
From “Quadrophenia” by The Who
Performed by Greg Roensch & Jules Leyhe
– Greg Roensch (guitar & vocals)
– Jules Leyhe (lead guitar)

Filmed and recorded at Tiny Telephone Recording, Oakland, CA.

THE MISSING BOOK
I took a short break from making a new album last week (more about that later) to record a new spoken word piece called “THE MISSING BOOK.”
Huge thanks to Jules Leyhe (music), Nico Sotomayor (video), and Danielle Goldsmith (audio engineer) for bringing the video to life.
Recorded at Tiny Telephone Oakland on August 22, 2023.
Dome Got Game
It’s great to see DOME Collective recognized with an Honorable Mention with other agencies and companies at the top of their game on Fast Company’s list of The Best Experience Design of 2023. It was a career highlight to work with the entire DOME team on the incredible EA Story experience.
Festival Alert: Giant Rock X 2
“Giant Rock” is a strange film. It’s not for everyone. But that’s okay. I love this film anyway – in all its slow, otherworldy, desert-dream-vision strangeness.
All of which brings me to the point of this post, which is…
I was very excited last night to receive word that “Giant Rock” has been selected by two film festivals… the First Contact Film Festival and the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology.
Thank you to them both for presenting “Giant Rock” to the world.
