C3 Creative Director Noah Hutton recently traveled to Roanoke, VA to film a short documentary piece. Here’s a local news segment featuring Noah and the project:
Here is a rundown of current and future projects for Couple 3:
Editing is wrapping up for the documentary feature More to Live For that Noah was commissioned to direct. After we lock picture, we’ll do a sound mix in August and should be ready to start submitting and screening the film.
Couple 3 is heading to Virginia this month.
We were commissioned to create a 5-7 minute film to attract young people to move to the state of Virginia. Noah will head down to start filming next week in Roanoke, VA, and will be back in NY July 27th to edit the piece.
Noah has been working on the EPK for the jazz trio The Bad Plus, a ten-minute behind the scenes piece that will appear with the release of their new album in the fall.
At the end of this month, Noah will travel to Mountain View, CA, for a weekend conference at the Google headquarters (known as the “Googleplex”), where he’s been asked to screen year one of his ten year Blue Brain Project documentary for participants of the conference and the organizing staffs from Google and Nature.
We’ve been creating content for country rocker Cooper Boone’s music and food empire– you can check out his cooking show here.
Noah recently worked on a new music video for country rocker Christian Kane.
Still on deck for post-production is the concert film we filmed back in March with Dave King, drummer of The Bad Plus, at his two-day celebration concert in Minneapolis featuring all the terrific groups he’s a part of. It looks like Noah will begin editing that film in August.
Noah Hutton directed this video for The Amygdaloids, a band made up of NYU scientists led by Joseph LeDoux. The video is half song, half mini-lecture about the neuroscience of fear:
You can read more about the making of the video at The Beautiful Brain website, where LeDoux blogs about the science discussed in the song: LeDoux on the making of Fearing.

Couple 3 Films is producing a new documentary feature entitled Give and Take, which tells stories of New York City subway musicians whose passion for their art drives them to perform despite the difficulties they face in their lives. Noah Hutton joins first-time director Carl Kriss as a producer on the project, which is already in production, and shooting will continue into the summer. Carl has posted an in-progress trailer for the film here.
You can check out the Facebook page for the film, and if you’re so inclined, help us reach the next fundraising goal for the project via its Kickstarter page so that Carl can return to NYC this summer and finish shooting. There are some enticing giveaways on the Kickstarter page for your contribution, including the chance to get a credit in the film. Contact us if you have any questions about the project, and stay tuned for more updates.

As we move into the spring season in NYC, here are some updates on current and future projects for Couple 3:
Post-production has started for More to Live For [official site], the documentary feature produced by Dallas-based M3 Films that Noah was commissioned to direct. The film follows three incredible stories of leukemia patients searching for a genetic match to donate bone marrow and save their lives. Editing will continue in NYC through April, where Noah is working with co-editor Jonathan Rosenblit. A rough cut is expected by early May. You can see an early trailer for the film here.
Last weekend Noah directed a concert film in Minneapolis featuring The Bad Plus, Happy Apple, and four other groups the magnificent Dave King drums in. Things could not have gone better, and post-production will begin on that project as soon as More to Live For is completed. In addition, Noah will be editing footage for The Bad Plus’ EPK due out with their next studio album to be released this year.
Noah already directed one video for NYC band The Indecent, and shot another one last week. It’s being edited now and should be finished within the week. Later this spring, Noah will direct a music video for the Philly-NYC based indie rock trio The Powder Kegs.
We’re also excited to announce that the Couple 3 umbrella is expanding: Noah is joining first-time director Carl Kriss as a producer on his feature documentary Give and Take which chronicles the incredible art and personal stories of subway performers in New York City. Kriss is well into production on the project, and we’ll be posting updates about the film as it progresses through the next months.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned here for more updates through the spring!
Here is a trailer that was just finished for MORE TO LIVE FOR, the documentary feature Noah was commissioned to direct that has just entered post-production:
Noah was interviewed by science journalist Ferris Jabr for his blog Savvy Saplings:
Where were you born and where did you grow up?
I was born in Los Angeles, but we only lived there for three years. After that, our home base was in New York but both of my parents were working often so we traveled most of the time and I was tutored on the road. I didn’t attend a school until the third grade when we settled for good in New York…
I’m thrilled to say that I’ll be directing a concert film about Dave King’s upcoming shows in Minneapolis, entitled King for Two Days. King is the drummer for the jazz trios The Bad Plus and Happy Apple, both of which will perform at the shows and will be featured in the film, as well as four other groups King drums for, which will feature an incredible lineup of musicians from all over. I think he’s one of the greatest drummers around today and I’ve been listening to music by these groups for years, so I’m very, very excited to have the opportunity to make this film.
I fly to Minneapolis on Wednesday the 10th and will follow Dave around, filming rehearsals and preparations for the shows ahead of the performances on Friday and Saturday evenings at the Walker. I’ll be joined behind the cameras by Gordon Bell, whom I worked with on Shooting for Peace in Uganda in 2007, as well as some very talented local Minneapolis DPs to cover the shows.

I’ll post an update from Minneapolis next week… thanks for reading.
We are very proud to present the world premiere of BLUEBRAIN – Year One, a documentary short which previews director Noah Hutton’s 10-year film-in-the-making that will chronicle the progress of The Blue Brain Project, Henry Markram’s attempt to reverse-engineer a human brain. Enjoy the piece and let us know what you think.
