Busy times, busy times
...and the pace continues. We've been busy expanding: Chris Pavoni has been promoted to Producer working with Davin and Lyle to keep our shows on the value mark. Some of the more notable videos of the past few weeks include Anita's clips for Theresa Sokyrka of Canadian Idol fame, and the Miniatures for their track "Actors and Soldiers"; RT! put Dru, Malicious and Xzibit in the can this month, and Warren got travel time in shooting with George Canyon and Chris Young, while having some fun with the Chucky Danger Band in town.....but we simply can't slow down: we've got JDiggz, Talib Kweli, the Neverending White Lights and Big Black Lincoln on the books with RT!, another Protest the Hero clip coming from Marc Ricciardelli who has also been juggling the arrival of a new addition to his family this month (Congratulations to you sir from all of us of course!), and Erica will shoot for Eternia once she manages her insane schedule to land in town for longer than a week.
Watch for more news for the fall in a couple of weeks once all our teams come back from either some out of town shooting or some massive Film fest fun!

A long ass time....
Okay, I know, its been forever since we updated this site but damn have we been busy... Besides a whole shit load of videos that we have done recently there have been lots of exciting events in the 235world... It all started when Executive Producer Robert Wilson landed his first feature film as a director... The currently untitled horror film is in the editing suite now... Then Warren Sonoda who previously directed Ham And Cheese landed his second feature film, also a horror movie that wrapped last week and is now starting post production... And to cap it all of harv aka Harvey Glazer (remember that cause he's switching back) has landed his first feature film titled "Kickin It Old School". The film stars Jamie Kennedy....Kennedy will play Justin, an average pre-teen growing up in the mid-80's until a freak break dancing accident lands him in a coma. When he finally comes to, it is nearly twenty years later, and he must now learn to cope with the changes the world has gone through. harv is currently in pre-production in Vancouver with shooting to begin in January... Congrats go out to everybody at 235 who have made the leap into films and to all the music video directors who have made this our best year ever, keeping us at the top of the game in this country....

One crazy summer.....
So it's 105 degrees in the office and this is what's happening.... It all started yesterday when Warren Sonoda helmed a video for Universal South recording artist "Erika Jo", as Warren finished his day he tagged in harv who will direct a new video for Sony/Bmg/Subword recording artist "Raptile" on Saturday night, harv passes it back to himself for tuesday when he helms the first clip from Tom Green's new album. Thats right, Tom Green of the Tom Green Show and Freddy Got FIngered fame has a new rap album coming out so check the o.r., harv then splits the ball in two and passes to both RT! and Marc Ricciardelli who both are shooting on thursday. RT! is directing a new clip for Sony/Bmg recording artist Shawn Desman and Marc is directing a clip for Victory Records recording artist "Silverstein". After thursday the ball miraculously bounces back together and slams right back into harv's hands as he directs his third video in 7 days for U.K rock act "Hydrous". Thank god the Much Music Video Awards are on Sunday because we are all going to need a seriously hard drink after this week....

A whole lotta news...
It's been a while but here is the latest update from twothreefive land.
A ton of harv updates...harv is prepping to shoot a new video for UK rock sensation "InMe". This will be the 1st video off their new album and will be shot in Toronto at the end of this week. He has also just completed post on his new clip for The Miniatures and let me tell you, this video is hot...look for it to air in the coming weeks. In other harv news his video for Default's "Taking My Life Away" was number 1 last week on the muchmoremusic countdown and is currently at #4 on the muchmusic countdown where it looks like it could also hit the top spot. harv's video for "music" by BMG recording artist "Our Of Your Mouth" which is a hard ass cover of the Madonna track is also playing in heavy rotation on Much and Much Loud alongside his new Choclair video for the track "who dat is" which is more of a 70's rock video than a hip-hop video. Look for some harv vid's to be appearing in the Reel World Film Festival at the beginning of April in Toronto.
Congratulation go out to Warren Sonoda and Chris Grismer. Warren's first feature film "Ham and Cheese" has received a rave review in Variety and is garnering tons of attention on the festival circuit. Congrats Warren, as well Chris Grismer's video for the Fembots is being featured this week at the sxsw film festival. Chris has recently signed to the William Morris Agency. Congrats Chris.
Stay tuned for a new website in the coming weeks and tons of new videos from the twothreefive roster.
P.S harv directed the first anti-video sorry Jake...

King of the cookies and the bling...
Just a quick update, harv's commercial spot for Fox's Biscuits, entitled "Rocky R", has received the award for Best Biscuit Commercial from The Grocer Magazine in the U.K. (that means Best Cookie Commercial to us North Americans). None of us at 235films are quite sure what any of this really means. The commercial, which features a bird that raps about cookies, is super word dope fresh and if you haven't seen it you’re really missing out. Good going harv keep corrupting the minds of young children everywhere.
In other news harv will be directing a new video for BMG Recording Artist Raptile ft. Xzibit. The video, which is a co-direction between harv and his D.P Brendan Steacy, is being shot this week in Los Angeles.

A really big, super huge, fantastic, new 235 update...
Things have been pretty insane around the 235 think tank these past couple of weeks (imagine that). Here are some updates.
harv went to Vancouver and shot the new video for the hit single "Taking My Life Away" by TVT Recording Artist "Default". The video which hits the airwaves this week will be playing in heavy rotation on Much, MuchMore and MuchLoud no word on the U.S release as of yet. The default video has also charted on the MuchMusic and MuchMore Music countdowns along with harv's video for Hawksley Workman that also charted on MuchMore Music this week. harv also recently shot the new "Len" video (yes their still around, and the track is great!). harv also has a couple of new videos in the works, stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks.
Warren Sonoda recently hopped into a twin prop plane with a D.O.P and a Producer and flew to Northampton, Massachusetts to shoot another video for the legend "Bruce Cockburn". Warren had a lovely business meeting with a barf bag on the way there, but managed to regain his composure and shoot another beautiful video.
Chris Grismer fresh off of directing episodes of every television show now shooting in Canada hopped back into the music video world with a new video for "Nasri". Chris and Nasri's last effort received incredible airplay on MuchMusic, MuchMore and MuchVibe.
In other news, 235's newest director is due any day now, stay tuned for more updates.
