Todd Reese (http://www.myspace.com/reesetodd) is not only one of my favorite musical artists of all time, I’m also deeply grateful to be able to call him a friend. This past Saturday, I got the extreme pleasure of filming his short set for a special show in Mahomet, IL. The show was a farewell show to Cameron Yergler, who is now the former guitarist in my brother’s band, So Long Forgotten. Cam is a very special member of the Shatterglass family. Not only is he an extremely talented filmmaker, but he is a freelance editor who works for Shatterglass on numerous projects and even helped co-produce and was the assistant director for my film “Prelude”.

He recently decided to step down as a guitarist from my brother’s band after playing with them full time for the past 5 years. So his last show was in honor of his time with So Long Forgotten and included various artists and bands playing that night to wish him a fond farewell. One of them was Todd, one of Cam’s closest friends. Todd’s set was a short one, at only 20 minutes, but still one of the best I’ve heard and I am so lucky I got to get it on film. We recorded it with our Red camera and our Canon 5dmkII. An extremely talented cinematographer, Daniel Clarke, who is a graduate of Columbia College, helped out and we were able to capture this special show.

So I’ve posted it here for everybody to see. Enjoy!!
