Cornish Smokehouse

Cornish Smokehouse

From the backyard to a food truck and now brick-and-mortar, for Uncovering Oklahoma I visited Chris and Nicole Cornish, the owners of Cornish Smokehouse, an Oklahoma City restaurant that does more than just BBQ. They specialize in jerk cuisine and delicious wood-smoked meats worth trying. 

Cornish Smokehouse is located at 801 SW 119th Street in Oklahoma City. To learn more about their specials and hours, visit them either FacebookTwitter, and/or Instagram

This is the first interview for Uncovering Oklahoma for 2019 and it sports the new logo as well as a title card for the place. This year in April will mark my tenth anniversary producing this show.

After being on hiatus for over a year, Quarter Minutes returns with a new story! My goal for 2019 is to create at least one or two new videos a month for the series, releasing them whenever we can. After all, we do have day jobs.

For those that haven’t heard of my Quarter Minutes series, I describe the show as being like Black Mirror or The Twilight Zone, but the stories are super short, lasting under a minute.

This video featured the talents of Brian Gililland, Pallas, Daniel Aaron Austin, and myself, Dennis Spielman.

Filmed on location at Factory Obscura’s Beyond in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Huge thanks to them! I’m thrilled we were able to film a fun creative video there. This particular exhibition is from Beyond, which is no longer around. See their next exhibition at FactoryObscura.com

For future updates, follow Quarter Minutes on FacebookTwitterYouTube, and right here on my site. If you love what we’re doing, want to see more, and before everyone else, became a patron. I would love your support so I can make more and better videos.

Goodbye to Beyond

In this live-streamed video, the creative force behind Factory Obscura’s Beyond exhibition do a walk-through goodbye with Uncovering Oklahoma.

This video was recorded via my iPhone and streamed live, so apologizes for any technical issues.

Chigama

The Asian Mexican fusion food is as unique as their name at Chigama in Oklahoma City. Chef Jeffrey Khowong talks the new casual contemporary restaurant that’s affordable in this week’s featured Uncovering Oklahoma story.

I had planned to have this video finished and available for my patron supporters back on Monday, however, my laptop started going on the fritz. After taking it to Apple, I learned that the battery had expanded, causing damage to the trackpad. I’ve had the computer for over five years, so after taking it over with my wife, we decided it was time for a new one. Editing Chigama went several times faster in rendering the project.

I’m taking a video break from Uncovering Oklahoma until the new year, unless something comes up. I’ll do be doing site updates. I want to take some time to focus on writing my books, editing my feature documentaries, and spending time with family.

Vanessa House Beer Co.

The Vanessa House Beer Company began when five friends were looking for a way to continue to hang out after college. What started as a simple homebrewing session has grown into a full-time business in Oklahoma City’s Automobile Alley district.

For this video, I was able to interview all five co-owners, Zac Smith, Andrew Carrales, Evan Smith, Justin Wright, and Nick White, as well as their first hire, Cody Anderson. With six interviews, it’s still not my record for most people interviewed about a single business. That title belongs to my OKC Improv story with eight interviews.

I filmed next week’s featured video yesterday, which I’ll get to editing on Friday. Then after that, I may take a break from the weekly show to focus on other projects.
