Hunx and His Punx

This might be the gayest video I’ve ever shot.

Not gay in that “let’s get married and join the army of heteronorms building their own prisons in the suburbs” kind of way. No, this is more of that down-and-dirty bubblegum punk rocker lightly dusted by slow-motion glitter atop a giant pink telephone in front of a tinsel curtain kind of gay.

Hunx and His Punx, another solo spin off from Gravy Train!!!!, is seen here crooning over an unrequited love. We shot him with the cheapest plastic tilt/shift lens on the market in two locations. One was Justin Kelly’s living room which doubles as a sound stage, and the other was the vacant lot behind his apartment in San Francisco.

Special thanks to Jerry Lee for lighting in the studio, Brande Baugh for the awesome Connie Chung-inspired makeup, and Justin of course for not letting me actually take a vacation without shooting another music video.

That telephone was designed and built out of cardboard in one night by Annie Danger.
