Just saw this article on Reel Chicago, (CLICK HERE TO READ), Ruth Ratny interviews filmmaker Ky Dickens (Fish Out of Water). The article discusses Ky’s motives behind this thought provoking film about homosexuality and religion, the unusual though refreshingly unique use of animation throughout the film and the equally unusual way Ky chose to finance her film… by cashing in her IRA!
Ky even gives Foundation a shout out, as she cites that Anna Patel on-lined and assisted with some creative editing, also cutting the trailer. We’ve hugely supported this film from the moment Ky walked through our door! It’s a wonderful message and brilliantly executed. If you haven’t seen the trailer, please check out the link above!
This week, Time Out Chicago published an article, as part of their “Things to Do” section, promoting the documentary “Fish Out of Water” by writer/director Ky Dickens. Our own Anna Patel not only cut the trailer for this bold film but she also onlined, color corrected and provided additional editing to the ending of the film!
We at Foundation support this humorous and insightful film and are glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves.
We’re currently in production on a music video for Elizabeth and the Catapults and their sure to be hit single “Race You”! We couldn’t be more proud to be working with this band, Universal Music Group and Verve Records and are excited about the video launch later this November!

Director Aaron Brown, who has previously worked with Foundation’s Ben Chappell on music videos for Girls and Cass McCombs, has officially joined our team! Most recently, Aaron directed a feature length documentary about current Garage Rock and the thriving DIY music scene across the US. He has also produced pieces for vbs.tv, motherboard.tv and, fans out there will be glad to know, Aaron is currently in pre-production for “a modern -day mythological musical” with Cass McCombs!
Brown says of joining Foundation, “I hope to bring a fresh perspective to advertising and give a fashionable and artistic feel to branding. Whenever possible I try to create as much of a collaborative environment as possible, ideas can come from anywhere.”
Meet Ryan Prybil… our new IT Specialist and Audio Engineer. What you may not know about Ryan is that beneath his gentle exterior lies a mad genius!!

Check out the free download of music from Urban Outfitters. It includes two of our favorite bands that we did the music videos for GIRLS and CASS McCOMBS.
We had a blast at the Beat Kitchen last night filming some live concert footage for our latest music video RACE YOU by Elizabeth & The Catapults. Foundation Directors Matt Egan and Ben Chappell had an hour before soundcheck in our studio to work their video magic before heading over to sound check. The band went on around midnight to a packed house! Special shout out to the Foundation posse who showed up to cheer the band on led by the one and only Jamin Clutcher.
The Foundation crew will be at the Beat Kitchen on Saturday 10/10 filming footage for a special effects driven music video for the band ELIZABETH & THE CATAPULTS.
Come on down and check out the band and say hi to us!
Another shout-out for the band “Girls”. They were named BEST NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR in Spin Magazine this month! Foundation is so proud to have worked with this rising band on some of their music videos and are so happy for their success!
