Gilly G’s Goodtime Showcase

This project was a tribute to a Philadelphia morning show called Al Abert’s Showcase. With the help of Michelle Dean (director/editor) and Jon Wolanske (actor) I filmed what was the last episode of this fictional children’s show hosted by Gilly G. Grasshopper. It was supposed to be a Dick Cavett for the youngsters, wherein talented individuals would perform and then talk about their craft with Gilly. Mostly it was just about improving this scenario with Jon, who is hilarious as Randy Shortwell, the Tap Dancing Bandit. We did two takes and Michelle edited the best together. The video was included in exhibitions at 667 Shotwell and Stephen Wirtz Gallery, both in San Francisco. I also did a comeback tour talent show as part of Multiverse, a one night only art event at Rx Gallery, also in San Francisco.
