Vision dreams of passion: Travis Senger

Ignore Malcolm Gladwell. Sometimes we Blink and we miss the obvious. I met Travis Senger at a soporific “Career Day” event at the UW a few years back. (I was the panelist chosen to represent local industry cynicism.) He struck me as a good guy, a driven individual, and yet, my first impression neglected the fact that has become readily apparent, Travis Senger is a very promising filmmaker. Check out his music video for The Blakes‘ “Don’t Bother Me” or his sci-fi mash note, CC 2010. These are imperfect pieces yet are still indicative of a bright future. Travis’ latest work, WHITE LINES AND THE FEVER, will premiere at this year’s SXSW and, based on this clip, marks true arrival as a significant, maturing talent. I am excited to see his short doc that chronicles the downbeat life of peer-beloved 80s turn-tablist DJ Junebug. WHITE LINES AND THE FEVER features interviews with Kurtis Blow, DJ Hollywood and other hip-hop heros. By your ticket to ride here.
