Episode 5 - Keri Shewmaker // Production Designer. Set Decorator. Filmmaker.
--
“In the world of film making, I’ve somehow found myself as a Director. One thing I’ve learned about this role is that it’s very important to surround yourself with key-role collaborators that you 100% trust in order to uphold your creative vision - and dare I say - make your creative vision even better than you imagined it, once it’s finally transformed into a physical, real-life set. In that very important role of Production Designer, whose task that is to do so, Keri Shewmaker is the person for me. My forever go-to collaborator that helps me ensure my creative set visions are fulfilled. Together, when working, we fit like a glove. But beyond being a collaborator, she’s more importantly: my friend. The kind of friend I can never stop talking to when we’re in each other’s presence. One of the first times we hung out was at a music video film festival in Oakland ( our video won by the way, we beat Shannon and The Clams’ video… just saying ) and we spent around 3 hours after the event had ended, in the cold, babbling to one another and having a great time by ourselves after everyone else had left. I always tell people that story when I talk about Keri and every time I’m around her, that’s the same vibe we return to - just two buds babbling on, talking shit, and enjoying each other’s company. But beyond being a friend and collaborator, she’s a fascinating person and I’m hyped to have her on the pod to talk about her life. Sit back and listen to Keri talk about growing up as rural kid in the California Delta, moving to San Francisco for college and graduating with a sociology degree, unexpectedly finding her way into working in the film industry, what she loves about set design, growing out of being a musician and growing into being a filmmaker, working on the No Vacation music videos “Yam Yam” and “Days”, directing the HXXS music video “Last Days of Magic”, her fascination with miniatures, and much, much more. Big shouts to Keri for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 4 - Mild Universe // A San Francisco Band.
--
“What do you get when you combine Disco and Psychedelic? The answer is Discodelic. But what do you get when you combine Discodelic and San Francisco? I’ll tell you, you get the band Mild Universe! San Francisco’s Mild Universe is a dreamy dance-music band that combines funk, disco, jazz, and psychedelic music. Based in the city, the band formed in 2019 and is made up of a collective of musicians who all grew up in the Bay Area. For Episode 4 of Bedroom, I sat down with two members of Mild Universe: my personal friends, Sam Jones and Karina Alterman. Sit back and listen to Sam and Karina discuss the bands new album “Everything Must Change”, some behind the scenes stories of the new bops, the current status of the San Francisco music scene, and a lengthy session of Bedroom Banter. Both of these homies are such genuine people, with such warm and inviting energies, I just want to say it was an absolute pleasure to have them on the pod. To me they represent the kind of people who are great caretakers of the vibrant music scene here in San Francisco and I’m proud to call them my friends. Mild Universe’s new album “Everything Must Change” comes out on Thursday, July 25th and their album release show is at The Independent on Friday, July 26th. Peep the new album, cop it on vinyl to support the band and lastly… welcome to the BEDROOM y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 3 - Kel Troughton // Type Designer. Lettering Artist. Graffiti Enthusiast. Educator.
--
“Back when I was a teenager and I fell in love with art making, the form that initially captivated me was graffiti. In the small town of Sonoma where I grew up there wasn’t much of a graffiti scene but there was one gem among the rough... spraying and tagging the county, the one and only: Kel Troughton. I remember one week seeing a piece of his under a bridge in Glen Ellen and a couple days later seeing one at the local youth hang-out spot called “The Shop”. His skill level blew my teenage mind. Due to our age difference, I never really saw him much, so he sort of became this elusive-like Bigfoot character to me. There were signs of his presence around town, I’d learn little tidbits bits about him, but I never really chopped it up and hung out with him. Now that I’m older, I finally have had the chance to become friends with Kel and learn about all the magnificent qualities that he possesses - and guess what? The dude doesn’t disappoint, he’s still just as talented as ever. Sit back and listen to the big homie talk about growing up in Hawaii and moving to the Bay Area, meeting Stan Lee as a kid and recreating the art inside of his comic books, how he became obsessed with graffiti, the cultural importance of magazines pre-internet, getting involved with a friend’s butcher shop and starting a decade plus gig of being the shop’s official sign writer, going to school to study typography, being an educational bridge between the worlds of graffiti and typography, his involvement with the Letterform Archive and curating a graffiti collection for them, becoming a typography teacher at the Type West postgraduate program, having his first typeface drop on Future Fonts, the type foundry he established called “Overlap”, the bygone era of internet blogs, his fascination with “civilian graffiti”, his favorite type designers, as well as the importance of finding your own lane within a creative community and contributing to the scene. Big shouts to Kel for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG
