“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

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

“Justin Plummer III - now that’s a freaking name. Whenever I hear names with a touch of grandeur, like that, I can’t help but pause and take notice.

Sit back and listen as Justin takes us through his fascinating journey: from his formative years working in an Oakland video store to studying film at SF State, and discovering his future directing partner, Martin Strauss.
