People Can’t Wait is “A charming film about an unusual subject: the need for public toilets.” – Kenneth Turan,L.A. Times film critic.

Winner of a 2010 Telly Award and a Judge’s Award at the 36th Northwest Film and Video Festival.

“The strongest films of any length in this year’s festival both undermine the putative glamour of life on the Portland streets, a myth almost as old as the city’s filmmaking culture. Seattle director Travis Shields travels south to profile Randy Leonard’s 24-hour loos with People Can’t Wait; his comprehensive interviews (which include Victoria Taft again making an ass of herself) are distinguished by a chat with toilet cleaner Rodney Haven, who summarizes his assignment to “make sure everything’s sanitized properly, each and every day”—then glances away, lost in existential reflection.” – Willamette Week film review.

I first read about the band Archeology in a Willamette Week review and liked their style and attitude. Very Portland. After a listen to their music I was hooked. I started following them on Facebook and always had them in the back of my mind for a possible creative project. I eventually contacted them in the hopes they needed a killer music video…and they did. Jason, Daniel and I met up at my studio and hashed out video ideas for their single By the By. We planned a big two day shoot in St Helens and Scappoose with a few extras playing the choir. We had a great turnout and shoot…perfect weather and very sunny for a February in Oregon. The band killed it and I think we killed it on our end…but you the viewer will be the judge of that. I told Archeology that if they make it big (and they will) that they have to take me with them.
