Director Lucas McGowen heads to Harlem tonight to participate in filming a live event put on by a trio of talented jazz artists known as Moon Hooch. They’re known for their natural dance tunes, or “organic house music.”

The event will be held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the largest cathedral in the world and home to the month-long Value of Food – Sustaining a Green Planet Exhibit.

Lucas’s cousin, Wenzl McGowen plays saxophone for Moon Hooch. Last year, Lucas directed this energetic music video that played at SXSW.

Tonight, Lucas collaborates with set-light artist John Zelenka of Manhattan Microwave Communications – on laser light design, CO2, and smoke. The event will be captured on a C100 and two 5D cameras.

Sustainability is central to the rising band’s mission. Stay tuned for the footage of the night.
