The Son of Samsonite, my short from 2002, is now online. It is best watched fullscreen.
And if you want to own it, it’s available on Volume 13 of The Journal of Short Film. Keep checking back for more updates, or subscribe to the RSS. More videos are on their way…
I’m finally getting around to adding some of my videos to the site. I just added For a Blonde… For a Brunette… For Someone… For Her… For You… Enjoy! Come back, more videos are coming soon…
2011 ended with me locking the picture of Jennifer Reeder’s upcoming short And I Will Rise If Only To Hold You Down. And if all goes well I’ll be locking the picture on my new film in early 2012…

I’ve just added a bunch of new stills for a handfull of my older videos. You can check them out at the links below:

I’m slowly updating mikeolenick.com, and I just posted a bunch of stills from films that I’ve been the DP for. Here are a couple stills from Jennifer Reeder’s short Seven Songs About Thunder, which won a best narrative prize at the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
You can see the rest of the stills here.
I just found the trailer for Guy Maddin’s new film Keyhole on Youtube. I was the assistant editor on the film, which stars Jason Patric, Isabella Rossellini, and Udo Kier. The film will be in theaters in the U.S. next year. Enjoy!
I’m currently updating this site…it should be getting some larger updates in the next month or so…hopefully with some more photographs and some video!
