it’s that simple!

the ever lovely sarah bocket of bocket store fame asked me to compose a score for her silent film ‘it’s that simple!’ featuring her hand-dotted thrift store bowls that are touring at craft fairs across the country. my process? something like taking a short nap, waking up at midnight and just pounding away at the piano til i’m delirious, hahah.

mkf learns mandarin

mk f — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 07:52:50 +0000

i felt compelled to learn a few phrases in mandarin for my upcoming trip to china. and since i’m going with a bunch of people i thought it would be helpful to make videos that will 1.) encourage them to learn and 2.) entertain. just finished my last video of the series, which has to be the best one ever, and here they all are in one place for you to enjoy!

ran into university-mate, masato nakada, on the street randomly after work today, and it was surreal seeing someone i would associate with school and boston in a los angeles setting. check out his website. he recently graduated from calarts and has some beautiful work to show for it.

NIKO 2011

mk f — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 07:36:13 +0000

just returned from a week-long wilderness/leadership/missions training program called niko.niko is greek for ‘to overcome’ or ‘victory’ – same as nike. needless to say, it was all kinds of challenging. can’t exactly say what we did since we promised not to reveal any information, but think ‘wilderness,’ ‘survival,’ and ‘God’ and you can get a pretty good idea of what we did. despite having no time to relax and constantly doing some activity, it was enough to be a refreshing time mentally and spiritually. i’m glad God took me out of my regular routine just to spend some time with him, stop stressing out, and refocus on what’s important.
