Recommendations is an incredible new section of canofzebras.com in which I ask some of my favorite filmmakers and musicians to recommend 5 films and 5 albums they would like to share with the world. These are not top 5 lists, but rather 5 films and 5 albums that you may have missed out on if not for having them recommended to you here. Recommendations will not always be the obscurest of the obscure, but they're not trying to impress you. What you won't find here are the usual movies and music people push on you.

Please report any broken links to me.

Adam Wingard
filmmaker / painter

I first met Adam in 2006 after he invited me to his house to watch his gorefest, Home Sick. We had a six-hour long discussion of film into the wee hours of the night that only came to end because I had to return home for work. He later asked me to co-shoot a scene from his psychedelic horror-drama, Pop Skull, and then he became my roommate for half a year. I had a bit role in his short, Laura Panic: a film which landed him on Steven Spielberg's On the Lot. Pop Skull star Lane Hughes and I also composed the music for his short, Thousand Year Sleep. Wingard returned the favor by shooting Quarantine: Chuck & Nash III for me, which featured his girlfriend, Amanda Crawford, who stars in his latest award-winning short, Cerebella. He is currently in pre-production on a new feature.
