Episode 12 - Nico Peña // Musician.
--
“Nico Peña is a relatively new friend of mine but I can say without hesitation that I back dude 100%. Although we grew up on opposite sides of the country, we did both grew up skateboarding and it always amazes me how easy it is for people like us to connect and to do so just instantly. We have a world full of relatable references and parallel experiences to speak on. Nico’s a freaking sweetie pie of a dude, a very cool guy with really great taste and is someone that I hope to spend more time with. If you haven’t listened to his music, check out his latest album “Para Ti” by PEÑA. He’s making some really groovy bops.
In this episode of BEDROOMTM, Nico and I discuss the significance of embracing and asserting your own creative and personal identity. Nico shares how local San Francisco bands like The Breathing Room and Mild Universe inspired him to form his own band, while also touching on the unfortunate trend of SF bands relocating to LA once they gain a bit of recognition. We reminisce about his early days skateboarding in New Jersey and how he partly discovered his passion for music through playing the video game Guitar Hero.
Nico also gives us a sneak peek into the upcoming Title Fight cover show he’ll be performing at The Warehouse. We discuss the current music industry trend of releasing three singles in advance of an LP and share our thoughts on its impact. Nico reveals the sounds we can expect from the next PEÑA album, and we wrap up with a fun round of Bedroom Banter, where he shares who his favorite Bay Area musicians are. Big shout outs to Nico for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOMTM, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 3 - Kel Troughton

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

Episode 13 - Syra McCarthy // Actor. Director.
--
“Syra McCarthy is someone whose name I've heard mentioned a lot over the years. Within the Bay Area film industry, she is the definitive multidisciplinary unicorn who stands out from the crowd. Not only is she a highly successful actor who has starred in television shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Hulu’s The Dropout, but she’s also appeared in nearly every major company’s commercial you can think of. On top of all that, she’s a prolific film director as well. Actor and Director? Jeez Syra, are you talented much? She’s acted and directed in short and feature films, music videos, and commercials. We didn’t really get into it on the pod, but Syra is starring in an upcoming film called “Josephine”, written, directed, and produced by Beth de Araújo. Syra will be starring alongside Gemma Chan, Channing Tatum, and Philip Ettinger.
For years, I’ve been hearing about her from friends - “Syra this” and “Syra that” - all this talk about how awesome she is and after finally spending some time with her in the Bedroom Studios, chopping it up, I now finally get the hype as to why she’s so freaking special. She’s a joy to be around and an overall cool, interesting, fascinating, and super fun person. Consider me officially part of the Syra McCarthy fan club! I’m recruiting all y’all to listen to this episode of BEDROOMTM and join in on the club too. Long live Syra!
In this episode of BEDROOMTM, Syra and I discuss the induction of AI in the filmmaking process, what it’s like to be an actor in the commercial world, the magical and sparkly power of collaboration in filmmaking, directing the French Cassettes music videos for their tracks “Medium Horny” and “White Noise,” directing a short film for the painter Heather Day, stories from her career in acting and directing, dealing with sexism in the film industry, the unorthodox world of hand modeling, and we wrap up with the longest round ever of Bedroom Banter, where Syra spills all of her secrets and gives a copious amount of shout-outs to her besties.
Before I sign off here, I just wanted to shout out Soft Hold Collective, a Bay Area film directory of women & non-binary freelancers that Syra helped co-found and organize alongside her pal Baily Hopkins. If you’re looking to find community or talent for your next big film project, check out softholdcollective.com.
Big shout outs to Syra for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOMTM, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 8 - Sarah Simka Jaffe // Director of Photography.
--
“Sarah Simka Jaffe. You know what she is? She’s a GOAT. She’s a truly inspiring friend of mine who posses this extraordinary blend of warmth, talent, and joy. Her perspective on the world, the way she interacts with others, alongside her boundless creativity are extremely captivating and magnetically alluring. Earlier this year, Sarah and I teamed up for our first major music video project together, with me as Director and her as Cinematographer. Not gonna lie, we crushed it. Sarah and I, alongside our dream team of a crew, made some pretty incredible visuals for our friend, the amazing musician, Mae Powell. I can't wait to share the video with y’all once it's launched and I really just can't wait to continue working with her on new projects in the future. In the meantime, listen in and join us for a conversation about many topics, including her magical short documentary, "Fireworks," which explores the life and working process of artist Jean-Paul Bordier, directing the Salami Rose Joe Louis music video for “Dimcola Reprise,” our thoughts on the future of the film industry, and our collaborative process for our upcoming music video project. Sarah shares her journey from discovering her passion for film to becoming a Director of Photography, giving us an inside look at the role and the magic that unfolds behind the scenes in filmmaking. Big shout outs to Sarah for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 5 - Keri Shewmaker

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 11 - Jeremy Summer

Episode 11 - Jeremy Summer // Film Producer. Co-Founder of Little Moving Pictures.
--
“Jeremy Summer is my freaking guy. He is someone I am extremely grateful for - period. I also know that I share this same gratefulness, this same sentiment, etc., with just so many of my peers in the in the Bay Area film industry. You see, in my own creative life, he has been a patron, a creative enabler, a conductor of talent to support my film projects, and an extremely wise professional who has helped me grow, more than he most likely knows. Our relationship began in a professional context in 2018, working on a music video that he produced / I directed, but very quickly blossomed into a friendship. He’s chill, calm, witty, and undeniably good at what he does and I’m beyond proud to have made some projects alongside his company, Little Moving Pictures, that he co-founded the extremely talented film editor, Nathan Petty. Jeremy is the f*cking shit and I’m hyped to share our conversation.
In this episode of BEDROOMTM, we dive into the behind-the-scenes magic of the documentary he produced, “FOREVER BROTHERS,” which tells the inspiring story of the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates - the team that made history by fielding the first all-minority starting lineup in Major League Baseball. We chat about his move to New York City in 2001 to attend NYU, where he became a concert junkie on a student budget, and how he landed a quirky job with a karaoke company producing his first commercial. Then there’s his adventurous stint in Costa Rica before he landed in San Francisco in 2007, determined to break into advertising. At just 22, he snagged a Project Manager position at Cutwater, worked some years there and eventually bopped around to different agencies while climbing the ranks to eventually become an Executive Producer. We’ll also celebrate ten years of Little Moving Pictures and speak on the magic that is “LMP” and wrap up with some fun Bedroom Banter! Big shout outs to Jeremy for coming onto the pod.

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 14 - Jay Alvarez

Bedroom with Patrick Sean Gibson

Episode 14 - Jay Alvarez // Director. Writer.
--
“Jay Alvarez is someone I spent every day with in high school. We had the same advisory class, which most of you probably know better as homeroom. Over those four years, I really grew to love this dude. On the surface, Jay and I might have seemed like we belonged to different crowds in high school - him, more of the rebellious scholarly type; me, more of the social skateboarder. But the truth is, on the inside I relate to Jay on so many levels. We both come from the same small town, both grew up playing our respective sports, and at 18, we both left that town to move to bigger cities and dive deeper into our creative practices. Jay and I have that kind of friendship where, even if we don’t see or talk to each other for months - or sometimes even years - we always pick up right where we left off. Same old bullshit, same old us. It’s been incredible to watch his filmmaking career blossom, and I can’t wait to see where his work goes from here.
In this episode of BEDROOMTM, Jay and I reflect on our shared experience growing up in the small town of Sonoma. Jay talks about his love of writing and how he found his way into filmmaking. He also shares the story of winning the Special Jury Prize at the 2014 Slamdance Film Festival for his feature film “I Play With The Phrase Each Other” - an achievement that led to the legendary Russo Brothers championing him and supporting his career ever since. We discuss our ongoing collaborations through his feature films and we dive into the importance of visual design in filmmaking. Jay also shares behind-the-scenes stories from the making of his latest feature, “Something’s More Than One Thing”, and gives us a sneak peek into what he’s working on next.
From there, the podcast takes a wild turn as we play "F*ck, Marry, Kill," and Jay tells the story of a staged kidnapping he orchestrated as a teenager. Yes, you read that right - it's a crazy story, and if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, you might want to skip that part. We also get into a heated round of Bedroom Banter, where Jay answers a rapid-fire series of questions, including sharing his absolute hatred for a certain overrated Hollywood writer. It's a doozy of an episode, filled with plenty of laughs, and I can’t wait for a future round two!
Also, a quick heads-up: this episode was recorded earlier in the year, just before Jay was set to debut his latest feature at the Raindance Film Festival in London. Be sure to listen to the end of the episode, where Jay leaves a special audio message to recap about how the festival went, along with some other fun anecdotes.
Big shout outs to Jay for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOMTM, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG

Episode 9 - Christopher Renfro

Episode 9 - Christopher Renfro // Farmer. Community Activist.
--
“Have you ever spotted a flyer outside a grocery store featuring someone who makes wine, only to unexpectedly meet that person the following week and forge a friendship? That’s exactly what happened to me with Christopher. From the moment we met, it’s been nothing but good vibes and mutual respect. Christopher is a natural leader and community advocate, making a remarkable impact on the city with his positive influence and ability to drive forward no matter the circumstances. He's also someone I painted for my 2023 art grant project "Legends of the 7x7", commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission, as one of my 49 favorite San Franciscans. He’s a farmer, a community activist, a winemaker, a shop owner, an educator, and a talented dude.
Take a moment to listen as Chris shares his journey: growing up in Germany, his experiences living across the U.S. in places like Colorado, Texas, and Kentucky, his teenage troubles, moving to San Francisco, working his way up at American Apparel, and facing a high-profile legal battle due to racism. Hear about how he reevaluated his life goals, pursued a degree in horticulture, and launched The Two Eighty Project. Chris also delves into the positive impact of sharing resources, his efforts to improve San Francisco, and his wine shop, Friend of a Friend, in North Beach. Christopher’s story is incredibly inspiring and I’m grateful for the chance to connect with him over our shared love for this vibrant city.
On a final note, I’m excited to share that just a couple of weeks ago, Christopher was recognized as one of Wine Enthusiast’s Future 40 Tastemakers for 2024. Absolutely insane. I couldn’t think of a better dude that this honor could have been bestowed to. Excuse my language, but Christopher Renfro is a mother f*ckin’ G. Big shout outs to Christopher for coming onto the pod.

Episode 6 - Rob Schell // Skateboarder. Skateboard Filmmaker. Movie Enthusiast.
--
“First and foremost, Rob is the homie. He likes Dinosaur Jr., he’s a beast in the kitchen, has extremely good taste in all things related to the arts, and ultimately - and most importantly - he’s just an overall joy to be around. He’s a solid, educated, and relatable dude with a crystal-clear conscience and someone I truly enjoy kicking it with when our paths intersect. For me, what’s so fun about this episode is that he isn’t necessarily pitching anything. No products to sell, nothing regarding his career, but instead we’re talking about skateboarding. This is the first “themed” episode in the history of BEDROOMTM. Sit back and listen to Rob talk about how we met, growing up in Indiana, multiplex theaters, the nostalgic allure of video stores, what we love and hate about cinephiles, finding skateboarding, becoming a skate filmer, and ultimately—the huge topic at hand for today’s episode: both of our Top 5 favorite skate videos of all time. If you grew up skateboarding and are in that late 20s to late 30s range, this episode is for you. If you didn’t, well, prepare to be extremely confused and potentially intrigued. Also, at some point, Rob and I are going to tap back in and do a round 2 episode where we talk about our Top 5 favorite movies. Stay tuned for that joynt! Big shouts to Rob for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG
